Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth and highest salt lake boasting a unique range of flora and fauna, is one of the world's natural wonders.

If you have extra time, consider visiting Ajloun Castle, Jerash, or Wadi Rum. If you have less time, consider skipping Dana Biosphere Reserve. Don't forget to pack comfortable shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and enough money in cash. Book accommodations and tours in advance and consider hiring a licensed guide for Petra's extensive area.
