With a movie backdrop desert landscape and some of the most famous historical and biblical sites in the world, Jordan is a dreamy off the grid Middle Eastern travel destination. From the ancient Nabatean city of Petra to the Dead Sea, the striking desert scenery of Wadi Rum to the friendly people living in the capital city of Amman, Jordan packs a lot of variety into a small space (the country is about the size of Indiana). It’s also easy to traverse and English is widely spoken in tourist areas, making exploring here uncomplicated.
