Apart from history and culture, places like the Dead Sea and the port city of Aqaba also offer avenues for relaxation and adventure, making Jordan a perfect destinatio­n for all kinds of travellers.

Some of the exciting attraction­s to discover include floating on the Dead Sea, visiting wadis, camping under the stars in the desert, and relaxing on the Red Sea beaches.
