Sightseeing

We can assist with your exploration through our Jordan travel site at Above and Below Adventures http://www.aboveandbelow.info

PETRA: The rose-red city half as old as time itself, is Jordan's most famous attraction. The majesty of Petra is revealed by travelling through the Siq, a winding, fissure through the intricately patterned cliffs that loom some 300 feet overhead. Then at the end, it opens up to reveal, The Treasury, or el Khazneh. Carved out of the solid, rose-hued mountain side, this awe-inspiring feat of architecture was carved over 2,000 years ago. Travelling deeper into the wonders of Petra, the visitor is surrounded on every side by hundreds of carved temples, royal tombs, a Roman ampitheatre, houses, burial chambers, sacrifical sites, reservoirs, baths, towering staircases, markets, and paved streets. Check out our link below for a place to stay during your visit to Petra.

WADI RUM RESERVE: One of the world's most beautiful desert regions - ancient valleys, granite outcrops and towering sandstone formations rising out of red coloured sand. Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and ride on camels - the ships of the desert - through the stunning natural beauty for an experience you will never forget. The area has been inhabited for millenia as indicated by the many inscriptions and is now home to several Bedouin tribes. The Reserve can be explored by 4 X 4, hiking, horse or camel trek. It is also a world class area for climbing. Check out the 'Above and Below' link below for more information.
