Tell anyone you’re travelling to Jordan and the first points of reference that will come to mind are Indiana Jones and Petra. Yes, that film may have put The Lost City on the map, but there is so much more to this country than Petra alone.

The truth is that Jordan is still a relatively unknown travel destination, yet there is so much to see! The country is home to a wealth of archaeological sites, nature reserves, biblical points of interest, ancient ruins and peaceful deserts – the perfect introduction to the Middle East.

My visit to Jordan last autumn allowed me to sample a varied flavour of some of the destinations this country has to offer, so if you’re wondering where to travel in Jordan, read on for some ideas!

We have been wanting to visit Jordan with our kids for a while now. The Middle East is so different from other places we’ve been with its vibrant unique culture and tantalising local delicacies, it’s an experience like no other!

From the red sandy desert of Wadi Rum, to the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea, there is a lot to see and do in Jordan (although I don’t recommend the Dead Sea with kids, more about that later).

Jordan is a beautiful country full of opportunities for photographers and travellers alike. The people are incredibly warm and kind, and it’s just a great country to travel. I travelled quite a bit of the country on my one trip. However, like many of my photo locations guides, I’m very much aware that I do need to go back and explore more.

Moreover, if you do have any of your own photo location recommendations in Jordan, the comment section is open.

This is my guide to photography in Jordan.
