Petra is most famously home to the Treasury building, but it&#8217;s really a sprawling complex that used to be the capital of the Nabataean from 300BC &#8211; 100AD.<\/p>\n<p>Through the valleys, you&#8217;ll see more houses and tombs built right into the sandstone mountains, but also stand in awe of structures like the well-preserved Theatre, haunting Royal Tombs, and the bigger-than-treasury Monastery. You&#8217;ll even encounter 3 legendary Djinn Blocks that stand guard over, as they have for the past 2,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to make this adventure more amazing is to pack some Jordanian food and have a picnic en-route while taking in the sweeping views!<\/p>\n<h2>2) Explore the Roman ruins at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Jerash.d6155120.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Jerash<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jerash-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000;\">Yes, there\u2019s the Citadel and Grand Theatre in Amman, but for a real immersion to the remains of Roman occupation in Jordan, take a day-trip to Jerash. It\u2019s a short 45 minutes away from the capital, and so, features in many Jordan tour programs locally. You can also hire an English-speaking guide and driver from most hotels for a great value to see the 6,500-year-old city. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000;\">Thanks to the dry climate and an earthquake that buried the ruins in the sand for centuries, the Graeco-Roman remains to hold the honour for best-preserved examples of Roman architecture outside of Rome itself. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3) Canyoning in Mujib<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Madaba-Governorate-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one is for the adventurous!
