10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Jordan That You Shouldn't Miss
Jordan (/ˈdʒɔːrdən/; Arabic: الْأُرْدُنّ Al-‘Urdunn [al.ʔur.dunn]), officially The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية Al-Mamlakah Al-Urdunnīyah Al-Hāshimīyah), is a sovereign Arab state in western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, Israel and Palestine to the west. The Dead Sea lies along its western borders and the country has a small shoreline on the Red Sea in its extreme south-west, but is otherwise landlocked. Jordan is strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. The capital, Amman, is Jordan's most populous city as well as the country's economic, political and cultural centre.

Be prepared for the breathtaking sight of this 2000-year-old monument which resembles a Greek temple with an urn at the top that was once reputed to hold priceless treasures.
Reviewed By manishsW7478IE - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Reminds you of Indian Jones Movie. Very short walk from the visitor center. Really amazing carving done on the rocks. Make sure that you go to the Monastery right after you are done with treasury as treasury is on the way to Monastery. When you buy a ticket you get a free horse ride to near the treasury. Too many people trying to make money off you at the visitors center. So don't discuss anything with them.

After Treasury the Monastery is one of the most impressive monumental buildings in Petra. It is carved in a limestone rock and after a very long walk (it's abput an hour and a half walk from Treasury) you'll be standing in awe in front of a really breathtaking building. There is a cafe right in front of the monument where you can enjoy your tea.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Petra (ancient capital city of the Nabataean people) recently proclaimed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Reviewed By StephG851 - Adelaide, Australia
Everyone has seen the iconic image of the Treasury (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!), but there is so much more to the Rose Red City of Petra. At the time of writing, a 2-day pass to the site is 55 Jordanian Dollars (roughly AUD110), which is not a lot more than the 1-day pass. However - you need to be aware that it is a walk of about 1.6km to get from the ticket office to the Treasury and to walk to the Temple of Dushares at the end of the main path through the City and back to the exit involves about a 10km round trip (our guide said 13km, but I don't think it was that much). Then there the side trips to visit the Monastery, the Royal Tombs and the High Place of Sacrifice, etc. There is a horse ride included in the ticket price, which will take you from the entrance to the beginning of the Siq (the 1km gorge that protects the way into the city itself); if you are an animal lover, it is better to avoid this, as the animals are not well treated (apparently this is improving, as the operators are being monitored by the Tourist Office - but I decided to walk). The same goes for the horse carriages that charge up and down the Siq - besides looking to be a pretty scary ride, the little ponies that pull the carriages are dripping in sweat and mostly look pretty malnourished. Obviously up to the individual, but I also feel that you miss a lot of amazing sights by charging through in a covered carriage. There are camel rides offered from the Treasury further into the City and if you have had enough walking, then these are probably the best option, as camels are pretty resilient! By the way, there are toilets at various intervals throughout the site! We got there at 10 a.m. and expected the crowds to be horrendous, but it wasn't too bad and we managed to get good photos without too many intruders into our shots. Recommended to get there early (it opens at 6 a.m.), but just remember the long walk before you even get to see much! We only managed the one day, but stayed for 6 hours, taking things slowly, and found that was enough - others in our group who had planned to go back the next day felt that they did not need to, as they had seen all they wanted to. We went in December and it was sunny, but the temperature during the day was pleasant (about 23 degrees Celsius). I don't really need to say anything about the site itself - just that it fulfilled every expectation and more - just a bit of a shame about the myriad stalls along the way selling jewellery, souvenirs, and general junk, they did detract from the atmosphere a bit, but it was still awesome and the highlight of our visit to Jordan (which we really liked - there is so much more to see than just Petra).
9. Jerash Ruins

I was astonished to find one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world in Jordan, less than 1 hour from Amman. I was also astonished that Jerash hasn’t been named a World Heritage Site! While Jordan has tried a few times to get this gem approved, UNESCO has denied the request for a variety of reasons. Since 2004, the Jerash Archeological city has sat on the ‘World Heritage Tentative List’. Ancient Gerasa dates to the time of Alexander the Great and the 4th century BC. It reached its glory days during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. It’s helpful to have a guide, but with a little research, you can enjoy exploring on your own. Allow about 3 hours to leisurely walk the whole area, soak up the history, and marvel at the architectural beauty of this great Roman city of columns.
