I instantly realised why the famous spot has been in so many Hollywood movies.

Petra is something else!

Nomads Hotel and Hostel Amman is a great choice for budget travelers looking for a friendly and centrally located place to stay during a visit to the Jordanian capital.
The hotel is located in the heart of Amman, within walking distance of many of the city's top attractions, including the Roman Theater, the Citadel, and the Grand Husseini Mosque.

Little Petra is less touristy and quieter to explore at your own pace, but does your Jordan Pass cover your entrance fee to Little Petra?

One of the best things to do when visiting new destinations, is to explore the uniqueness of the different cultures that contribute towards a city’s character. Global street art murals are one interesting aspect of every city, which paint a picture of the city’s vibes and energy. The street art murals in Amman do not disappoint, as they captivate the artistic side of an ancient city, which is continuously rising in moderntiy.

As you wander around Amman and experience the hustle and bustle of daily life in the Jordanian capital, you can feel the history in the air. The Roman theatre of Amman is one of the city’s famous historical landmarks that is as ancient as time itself, and dates back to the Roman period when Amman was known as ‘Philadelphia’. No trip to Jordan is complete without exploring the landmarks which fill the city with history, culture and an abundance of character. Located at the foot of Jabal Al-Joufah, and opposite the Citadel which sits at the top of the hill, the Roman theatre earns its place as one of Amman’s main attractions.

Do you want to take a step back in time and relive the famous final moments of Moses, as he stood upon Mount Nebo gazing over the Jordanian Valley and the Promise Land before his death? This ancient site holds secrets that have fascinated explorers and historians for centuries, so there is no doubt, that visiting Mount Nebo during your Jordan trip, together with really immersing in the history and cultural significance of the sacred mountain will make your visit to the small Middle Eastern nation one to remember.

Jordan is one of those mystical destinations which only gives a little away to the outside world. You need to visit the country to really witness its unique natural beauty. Once you leave the capital, ‘Amman’, and head towards the many highlights dotted around the small nation, you’re in for a real treat, from vast deserts to ancient lost cities, Little Jordan has it all. Natural wonders are in abundance, and the Wadi Mujib Canyon Trail is definitely one of those.
