The Dead Sea is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Jordan, and most people coming here want to swim—or rather float—on its shores. Despite being truly extraordinary, the Dead Sea isn’t the only breathtaking natural wonder in this Middle Eastern country, and here are three more worth checking out.
Wadi Rum
Located in the far south of Jordan, Wadi Rum was responsible for kicking off the tourist industry in this country after being featured in the cult movie Lawrence of Arabia. This sandstone and granite rock valley is known by the name Valley of the Moon thanks to its bright shade and the unique rock formations on its grounds.
Dana Biosphere Reserve
Speaking of unique rock formations, you’ll find even more of them in this expansive nature reserve. Dana Biosphere Reserve became extremely popular with passionate hikers and adventurers thanks to its geological diversity and scenic landscapes.
Mount Nebo
Mount Nebo is one of the most mystical places in all of Jordan because it’s believed this was where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death. Even if it wasn’t for its religious background, Mount Nebo would leave us in awe with its breathtaking views of Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the hills of Jerusalem.
