From epic landscapes to monumental ruins, #Jordan allows us to reach out and touch the eternal and be at one with something far greater than ourselves.
The ancient Greeks knew Jordan’s capital, Amman, as Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. Overlooking Amman is the Citadel, the city’s ancient core. Rising over the Citadel are the remaining pillars of the Temple of Hercules, a Roman temple that in its day dwarfed many in Ancient Rome.
From Amman, #journey north to Jerash, home to one of the largest concentrations of Roman ruins outside Italy. Then, continue north to Ajloun Castle, built to halt the Crusader armies as they rode down Jordan’s northern valley, hell-bent on Jerusalem.
Enter the gravel plains of the Eastern Desert and follow the Desert Castle Loop. For many, the highlight here is Qasr al-Azraq, where Lawrence of Arabia made his winter headquarters.
Travel south to Madaba, famed for the Madaba Map, one of the earliest depictions of the Holy Lands. Continue south along the Kings Highway, which once took Arabs to Mecca, and Israelites to the Promised Land.
Follow the hairpin road 1300 feet below sea level to the Dead Sea. Float in the saline waters and cover yourself in the same mineral-rich muds Cleopatra once enjoyed.
No visit to Jordan is complete without a visit to Petra. Emerge from the shadows of the Siq and gaze up at the Treasury, the greatest of all of Petra’s 500 tombs. Then continue south to explore the emptiness of Wadi Rum.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

where can I book the hot air balloon and how much does it cost?
Beautiful compilation and presentation 👌 loved it . Greetings from Oman
Jordanian here, living abroad! Thank you for this heart-warming showcase of my country! Well done.
Please accept one piece of advice about cultural competence: when you make a video to showcase Jordan's culture, your script must respect and align with Jordan's values. You made a significant mistake at 10:39. Jordan recognizes two states between which the lands to its west are divided (in alphabetical order): Israel and Palestine.

Thank you for this amazing video
I never expected so much of the Roman footprint. It seems I saw more of Romans here than I saw in Rome.
My god! You'll never get me stepping inside that hell hole!
As a Pakistani Muslim, I love Jordan and its people immensely, may Allah keep Jordan inhabited and safe forever.🇵🇰❤️🇯🇴🇯🇴
MAGNIFICA REPORTAGEM. CONGRATULAÇÕES.

This fake "Arab" narrator makes this video hard to listen to.
The producer should not work in media, film or entertainment industry anymore.
Good content though
I was speaking to a young man from Jordan just today. I thought I’d look it up, I’m astonished at such beauty. I’m disabled so I’m never going to be able to visit, which now makes me so terribly sad.
I really like the voice of the Narrator.. With amazing photography
