Family Travel in Jordan

Jordan is without a doubt the perfect destination for family travel. Home to the iconic archaeological site Petra, which is often the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Jordan. There is so much more to it though as we discovered.

Some of the highlights of our Jordan itinerary were a visit to Jerash where we caught a gladiator show among the ancient ruins. We tried floating in the Dead Sea and covering ourselves in mud and staying overnight in a desert camp in Wadi Rum. We snorkelled in the Red Sea and of course, we stood in awe upon seeing our bucket-list destination, Petra, for the first time.

The people are incredibly friendly and welcoming and they love children. The country is safe to travel around with modern infrastructure, including paved and well-signposted roads and the food is great. What more could you want from a family trip?

Wadi Rum: Everything You Need To Know And Reasons To Go

Jordan, Middle East, Travel Tips
Wadi Rum desert was one of the highlights of our Jordan itinerary. It was almost up there on a par with our long-term bucket list destination Petra which is really saying something. For the kids, it was number three on their kid's guide to Jordan behind meeting Gladiators and hiking around Petra and that is saying something too!
