Jordan September 2025
Jordan is a wonderful country full of warm and generous people, more history than many other countries, otherworldly landscapes and delicious food. It is often over looked or unfortunately lumped in with what is going on with it's neighbours. But other peoples lost can be your gain. It is a country where i felt incredibly safe, even as a solo female traveller. For the most part people leave you alone unless you want to talk. The most that they will do is ask you where you are from or try and sell you a trinket. The people are so open generous and simply want to share their amazing country with others and share a cup of mint tea. There is so much to the country from the beaches of Aquaba, the deserts of Wadi Rum, the city buzz of Amman, the famous dead sea and the grand site of Petra. You can hike, do water sports, explore historical and biblical sites or do a food tour. There is something for everyone, all you have to do is go.

Dress: Contrary to popular belief you can pretty much wear what you like, i would recommend light breathable clothes for the summer, sturdy walking boots for many of the sites such as Petra due ton the amount of walking required and the terrain, in winter warmer clothes may be needed as it does snow in Amman also waterproofs would be needed due to flash floods
Language: Arabic, but English is widely spoken
