I met this beautiful Arabian girl at a house party and struck up a conversation with her. Surprisingly, they were playing Nigerian music from Mr Eazi and she seemed to like it. I was fascinated by her interest in Nigeria, and we started talking. She told me about the beautiful places she had visited and showed me the wonders of the Middle East then told me she had gotten her nose and teeth in Jordan. I was as shocked as you are right now. She had gotten a perfect nose through a cosmetic procedure.
I began to research Jordan, and I fell in love. Asides medical and cosmetic tourism, it is a great place. I suggest this if you are tired of Dubai. I am singlehandedly trying to steer Nigerians to the other gems in the Middle East.
Jordan, an Arab nation on the east bank of the Jordan River, is defined by ancient monuments, nature reserves and seaside resorts. It’s home to the famed archaeological site of Petra, the Nabatean capital dating to around 300 B.C. Set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and monuments carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, Petra earns its nickname, the “Rose City.”
There is so much to do in Jordan;
• Petra
You must visit the lost city of Petra. It would feel like you are in an Indiana Jones movie only better. You should do a sightseeing tour of the palaces, tombs and the Treasury
• The Dead Sea
You have heard about it, read about it, how cool would it be actually to be in it! I can’t swim so it is very comforting to know I can practice my floating and never sink. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface. It is right on the border between Israel and Jordan, the mineral content of this body of water is 33%, which is about six times as salty as a normal ocean. It’s called the Dead Sea as nothing can live in it. There are no fish, seaweed or plants of any kind in or around the water. What you’ll see on the shores are clusters of white salt crystals. The reason why most people would get you sea salt from here is that they believe it has healing powers.
• I have sent you to the Dead Sea, now go to an actual beach, Aqaba.
This is Jordan’s only access to the sea and my what a gateway it is. Think beautiful clear blue water, palm trees, the works. You must visit! Aqaba is awesome for sun, fun, diving, snorkelling and swimming. It is also a great place for water sports such as waterskiing, parasailing, jet-skiing and fishing and ideal for a spot of relaxation.
• Nightlife
There are some cool spots to go to especially in Petra. Basically, in every city, there is a bubbly night scene that deserves exploring. I believe you should try the local scenery when you travel
• Shopping
Duh! How can you travel and not bring back any souvenirs?
Jordan is a fun sunspot, so it is okay to go all year round though the best times are in Spring when it is a bit cooler between March and May.
