#100usdchallenge #weekendgetaway 👉 Important! Leave a Comment below if you want me to share my secret tips for airlines vouchers! When I told my friends I visited Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, for under $100, they didn’t believe me. But let me break it down for you—because with smart planning, this ancient city in #Jordan is closer (and cheaper!) than you think. #Petra 📖 A bit of history: Petra is an archaeological wonder carved into rose-red cliffs by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago. Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury appear before your eyes is pure magic. 💸 My $100 Petra Budget Itinerary: ✔️ ✈️ Flights from Europe: With low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air, you can book direct flights to Amman for as little as $20. I booked mine via Trip.com, which made the process quick and smooth. ✔️ 🏨 Accommodation in Wadi Musa (Petra’s town): You’ll find great hostels and hotels from $10/night on Trip.com. Most offer free tea, Wi-Fi, and even shuttle service to Petra’s entrance. ✔️ 🎟 Petra entry fee: The cost for a 1-day pass is around 50 JD ($70). It’s the priciest part, but trust me—it’s worth every cent. ✔️ 🍽 Food: Skip the fancy restaurants and eat like a local. Falafel wraps or a plate of hummus with bread cost $3–5 at family-run cafés. ✔️ 🐪 Optional extras: Want to ride a camel in front of the Treasury for the perfect photo? It’s negotiable but budget around $10 if you want the experience. 🌟 Why it’s worth it: Petra isn’t just a place—it’s a journey into history. Exploring on a budget makes you feel like a true adventurer, not just a tourist.

I stayed in Amman, the capital of Jordan. It takes about an hour to get to Amman from the border by land from Israel. I have the impression that all Jordanians are gentlemen, quiet, and extremely hospitable. They have good manners and are polite. In addition, prices are much cheaper than in Israel and the food is outstandingly delicious. You can enjoy touring old ruins, and there are also modern shopping malls, so I think Jordan is a good choice for beginners to Middle Eastern travel. #Jordan #Amman #Middle East travel #World Heritage Site #Touring Ruins

Attractions: Day 1: Jerash, stay in Amman Day 2: Amman city - downtown, rainbow street Day 3: bus to Petra, explore Petra Day 4: Petra more hiking!

I finally got a card in the old city of Petra, which is popular in the air! God knows what has happened in order to take this photo! I wore a wedding dress and climbed up the hill with my four feet. When I saw the ancient city at my feet, everything was worth it! The ancient city of Petra (9 BC - 40 AD) is a historic city in southern Jordan. It is one of the mysterious ancient cities in the desert of southern Jordan and one of Jordan's most prestigious historic sites. On July 8, 2007, he was selected as the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Wadi Mujib is a magnificent natural canyon located in western Jordan. It is considered the lowest canyon in the world. Its depth is approximately 400 meters below sea level and it flows into the Dead Sea, which itself lies at a resting depth of 430 meters. The first sight is the towering rock walls on both sides, accentuated by deep reds, oranges, and browns. The lines carved by water and wind over thousands of years have left patterns on the rocks, like a page of history written by nature, not ink on paper. The river that flows through Wadi Mujib ebbs and flows with the seasons. In summer, the water level gradually drops, making it accessible for wading. However, by late October, the route is closed for safety reasons, as the monsoon and floodwaters from the Moab Plateau can become uncontrollable. Beyond its natural beauty, Wadi Mujib also possesses significant ecological significance. This area is designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is home to mountain goats, rare birds, and native plants adapted to the harsh environment. • Wadi Mujib is known as the "lowest canyon or gorge in the world" because its entrance opens into the Dead Sea at an elevation of approximately -430 meters above sea level. • However, the stream within Wadi Mujib itself, the Mujib River, actually flows from the Moab Plateau into the Dead Sea, making it one of the lowest rivers in the world. If you're interested in experiencing Wadi Mujib for yourself, here are some important information you should know in advance: 📍 Location • Located on the eastern side of the Dead Sea, approximately 90 km from Amman (about a 1.5–2 hour drive). • The adventure begins at the Mujib Adventure Center along the Dead Sea Road. 🗓 Opening Hours • Open for visits Only in summer and early autumn, approximately April to late October. • Closed annually in late October due to flooding and hazards. 🚶♂️ Main Trail • Siq Trail: A popular trail, taking about 2–3 hours of wading through the water. Alternatively, you can take a shorter, 1-hour walk without going all the way to the waterfall. • Rope climbing, rock climbing, and chest-high water are involved. • The trail ends at a small waterfall in the middle of a valley. 🎒 What to bring: • Wetsuits and non-slip shoes (no flip-flops) • Life jackets are available at the center (required). • Do not carry valuables and bring a waterproof bag if you are bringing a camera or phone. • Book in advance or check the opening hours before your trip. ℹ️ Tips • This area is The Mujib Biosphere Reserve is managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). • In addition to canyon wading, other activities include hiking, wildlife viewing, and staying at lodges near the Dead Sea. #WadiMujib #Jordan #DeadSea #LowestCanyon #AdventureTrail #NatureWonder #Jordan #WadiMujib #TheLowestCanyonInTheWorld #CanyonWalking

The Dead Sea is not only the lowest sea in the world (-400 meters above sea level), but also a record told by layers of salt and receding waters each year. Every stripe is a beauty of nature, a warning sign that this miracle may not last forever. The Dead Sea Highway opens up to a barren, brown mountainside, edged by a still, mirror-like water. But if you stop and take a closer look, you'll see layers of salt layered in stripes resembling tree rings—a pattern both beautiful and sad at the same time. Some rocks are covered with salt crystals, forming natural sculptures. Some tourists touch the mud, lie on their backs, and laugh. Some float in the mineral-rich water, and others simply stand on cliffs, silently gazing at the water, as if capturing the image. But beneath this beauty lies a warning: the Dead Sea is constantly losing water. Its level is dropping by an average of more than a meter per year. Both from the Jordan River and from the mineral industry, the coast is receding, creating more cracks and sinkholes each year. The sight today may not be the same in ten or twenty years. What used to be beaches has become cliffs, and what used to be underwater has become dry land. Travelers' memories are crucial. Because each image is a record of the changes taking place before our very eyes. As we continue driving, we meet the King's Highway, an ancient route used since Mesopotamia, through the Romans, and the Crusades. We gradually climb from -400 meters above sea level to a mountain peak over 1,000 meters high before reaching Petra, the pink stone city that is our destination. But the image that lingers in our minds isn't just the destination, but the question the Dead Sea entrusts us with—while the beauty of the salt and the sun-drenched blue waters remain captivating, its future remains uncertain. #DeadSea #JordanTrip #NatureAndHistory #TravelMoment #SaveDeadSea

I woke up in a Bedouin tent, the first light filtering through the curtains. It was so quiet I could hear the gentle breeze. When I stepped outside, I saw camels walking against the sunrise. Bedouins were boiling tea, and the aroma wafted through the desert. It was a simple but charming morning. As the sun rose, we rode a jeep through the desert, leaving long trails on the orange sand. We passed towering sandstone mountains. It felt like I was in another world. The evening sky was full of stars, and I could see the Milky Way clearly, something I couldn't see in the city. Wadi Rum is known as the "Valley of the Moon," not only for its stunning scenery but also for its significant history. Wadi Rum was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011 and has served as the setting for movies like The Martian and Star Wars. It was also the site where T.E. Lawrence fought during the Arab Revolution. If you have the chance, you'll experience nature, history, and Bedouin life in a desert that seems to have come from another planet. #WadiRum #Jordan #ValleyOfTheMoon #Stargazing #TravelMoments

As the sun sets behind the golden sandstone, black and white Bedouin tents begin to shelter visitors. The atmosphere is tranquil yet warm from the large fire built in the center of the courtyard. Tourists slowly gather around the fire. A young Bedouin man stands making tea, pouring streams of water from a tall, indigo kettle into small cups. The blazing fire reflects the silhouettes of their figures and traditional costumes. Every gesture seems like a performance, but in reality, it represents a way of life passed down through generations. The evenings are more than just tea and fire. Oud music gently plays in the background, and sometimes traditional Bedouin dances are performed. The deep, trance-like storytelling transports the listener back to the caravan era across the desert. A stay at Bedouin Camp is not just about sleeping in a tent; it's about experiencing another kind of life—simple, warm, and connected to nature and a living culture. #LittlePetra #BedouinCamp #JordanNights #DesertExperience #TravelMoments

Stepping into the golden sandstone canyon, carved into temples and halls, the first impression is its compactness compared to Great Petra. Yet, it exudes an intimate atmosphere—a space once used for caravan rest and reception of pilgrims. Red carpets adorn the stone courtyard, evoking a special evening's welcome. The sight of tourists gazing around the carved stone architecture suggests that, even after more than two thousand years, this place continues to serve as a "stage" for gatherings. In a narrow passageway called Siq al-Barid, over 80 steep stone steps are believed to lead to a ritual site at the summit—a space connecting the human world with the spirit world. This belief reflects the fact that beyond trade, Little Petra also possesses a spiritual and religious dimension. Along the walkway, stalls selling souvenirs, silverware, textiles, and carved bottles are lined up, surrounded by the smoke of tea from iron kettles over charcoal. The smoke lingers in the afternoon sun, while elderly women sit quietly spinning yarn by hand—these images tell the story of Bedouin life. Looking back into history, The reason why Petra and Little Petra have become more interesting to Europeans than to Asians is no coincidence. The Nabataeans traded directly with the Greeks and Romans, a relationship reflected in the Hellenistic art evident on the cliffs. When Europeans discovered Petra in the 19th century, the story spread to the Western world through writings and exploration, making Petra a "collective legend" in European history. Today, the French Tourist Association's event at Little Petra demonstrates the archaeological site's new role—from a trading caravan to an international cultural meeting place. Despite environmental concerns and overcrowding, it undeniably generates income for the Bedouin community and allows local culture to be shared with visitors. #LittlePetra #Jordan #Nabataean #WorldHeritage #TravelMoments

From the quiet back road, once back onto the main road of Petra, the atmosphere immediately changes. At a small cliffside tea shop, plastic chairs and old rugs greet guests alongside Jordanian flags. It's a resting spot steeped in the stories of the owner—a Bedouin who still makes a living amidst the ancient ruins. But soon the silence fades. Hundreds of stone steps ahead become a bustling path of tourists, passing each other up and down. Some ride donkeys, others camels, and some carry water and supplies, as if they were still serving in ancient caravans. Small stalls line the path, selling everything from brightly colored fabrics, beads, jewelry, and even imitation antique souvenirs. This is a world of modern tourism intertwined with the remnants of ancient civilizations—a reflection that suggests Petra was never truly abandoned, but continues to live on today. As we approach the sheer cliff face, Al-Khazneh, or "The Treasury," unfolds. This is Petra's most famous structure, carved from 39 meters of sandstone in the 1st century BC. It's believed to have served as a royal tomb or treasure trove. This led locals to nickname it the "Treasury." The wide plaza in front of the cathedral is filled with camels decorated with brocade and tourists from around the world—an image that has become an iconic image of Petra, featured in postcards, books, and blockbuster films like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. #Petra #TheTreasury #MainTrail #TravelJordan #AncientCity #DesertAdventure

This trail is more than just a walkway, but filled with the traces of the Nabataeans, the ingenious desert traders who built Petra two thousand years ago. They used this route both for trade and perhaps as a secret passage during wartime. We slowly descended ancient stone steps through a narrow canyon still marked by carvings. The desert wind blew at our faces, interspersed with the sound of other travelers lined up like ancient caravans. And as we rounded the final bend, Ad Deir (The Monastery) loomed before us, towering and imposing—over 45 meters tall and nearly 50 meters wide, even larger than the Thrasari we're familiar with on postcards. Scholars suggest it may have served as both a religious site and an important meeting place for the empire. There, we paused, looking back, and realized that all the sweat and toil on the trail had not been in vain. It deepened our understanding of Petra—both as an ancient site and as a truly vibrant city. #Petra #AdDeir #TheMonastery #BackDoorTrail #JordanTravel

The first step into the narrow Siq, a nearly 1.2-kilometer-long path carved by water and wind, immediately reveals that the steep rock walls on either side are not just ordinary rocks, but historical barriers that have surrounded us for millions of years. The rock surface reveals patterns and shades that change with the angle of the light—from orange-red to pale gold, and sometimes even a deep black. This path once served as a "gateway" leading the Nabataeans to their capital. Beyond its natural beauty, the rock walls bear traces of the Nabataeans' water channels to supply water to the desert city. This insightful insight into the ingenuity of the tribes who once dominated this important trade route. As you walk deeper, footsteps echo against the rock surface, light gradually penetrates in small lines. At the end of the path—through a narrow gap between the cliffs—the first glimpse of Al-Khazneh, or The Treasury, emerges. This towering structure, carved into the cliff face, rising over 40 meters, is Petra's most striking symbol. Scholars believe it was built around the 1st century BC as a tomb or temple dedicated to the gods. Its architectural style blends Greek and Middle Eastern elements—Corinthian columns, triangular arches, and sculptures depicting the religion and beliefs of the Nabataeans. The first impression upon standing there is amazement that this desert city could have built such a monumental feat through the power and wisdom of ancient man. Thus, Petra is not only the "Rose-colored City of Stone" recognized by UNESCO, but also a relic of the dialogue between nature and man, a dialogue that continues to resonate today. #Petra #TheTreasury #Siq #JordanTravel #WorldHeritage #LostCity #UNESCO #TravelPhotography #AncientWorld #MiddleEastTravel

Wadi Rum, located in southern Jordan about 60 kilometers from Aqaba, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011 for its natural and cultural significance. Upon entering, the first thing you’ll notice is the vast expanse of reddish-orange sand stretching endlessly. But instead of typical sand dunes, you’ll be greeted by towering sandstone mountains sculpted into natural pillars, walls, and arches. Many formations resemble architectural masterpieces that need no designer. Interestingly, Wadi Rum has been home to the Bedouin tribes for centuries and continues to be so today. Visitors can stay at Bedouin Camps to experience traditional lifestyles, from sipping tea under tents to listening to stories around the campfire at night. Its "Martian desert" appearance has made it a filming location for major movies like *The Martian* (2015) and *Dune* (2021), further emphasizing the feeling that this place is not of this world. Exploring Wadi Rum is often done via 4x4 tours that take you to key spots like Lawrence’s Spring, a water source linked to T.E. Lawrence, or the Rock Bridge of Burdah, a natural arch popular among climbers. Alternatively, you can ride a camel, meandering through rocky terrain and valleys at a slower pace, reminiscent of ancient caravan routes. As the sun sets behind the rocky horizon, the orange-red hues transform into deep purples, and the sky unveils one of the clearest views of a starry night anywhere in the world. This moment helps visitors understand that Wadi Rum is not just a desert—it’s "a moon you can walk on."

The Jerash Ruins are the remains of an ancient Roman city✨. Originally built as a Greco-Roman city, it flourished under the rule of the Roman Empire🌎.
