Petra by Night: A New Era with Holograms and 3D Magic

Petra, Jordan’s ancient rose-red city, has unveiled an exciting addition to its famed "Petra by Night" experience. The new program now incorporates cutting-edge hologram and 3D projection technology, transforming the façade of the iconic Treasury into a breathtaking canvas of light, history, and storytelling.
 
Visitors are treated to a sensory journey that blends the mystique of Petra's Nabataean heritage with modern digital artistry.

This immersive experience is designed not only to entertain but also to educate, highlighting the rich legacy of Petra while respecting its UNESCO World Heritage status. It’s a must-see fusion of ancient wonder and future-forward creativity.

Mansaf

Mansaf is a dish of rice, lamb, and jameed -a tangy dried yogurt sauce, with nuts and shrak (a type of bread) also commonly present. It’s not only one of the most beloved Jordanian foods, but it’s also considered the national dish of Jordan. Deeply rooted into Jordanian culture, Mansaf is more than just a meal! Mansaf is so important to Jordanians that it’s been known to resolve conflicts and restore peace within tribes in Jordan. It is often shared at celebrations, parties, family get-togethers, and festivals. So, if there was only one dish you must try when you visit Jordan it is definitely Mansaf!

Wadi Rum Named a Top Destination for Dreamy Desert Escapes -The Week Magazine

From Petra, it takes just over two hours along the Desert Highway to reach Wadi Rum. "Fringed by granite mesas" and dusted with "ochre sand", it's the perfect place to spend an adventure-packed few days, said National Geographic. The desert is dotted with camps, ranging from "traditional black goat's skin tents" to "luxe geodesic domes". Start at Rum village and spend a day on Jeep safari "rolling through the dunes" to Lawrence's House, where, legend has it, T.E. Lawrence stayed during the Arab Revolt. It's also well worth spending a morning rock climbing before taking a hot-air balloon ride at sunrise to gasp at the "contours and colours" of the desert from the sky.

Amman-Site of the month

Amman is a fascinating city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new, situated on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.

Expanded from its original seven hills to around 20, steadily progressing westward since the 1950s, and developing a split personality along the way.

Amman is the city of contrasts. For every chaotic souk, there’s a plush multi-storey shopping mall. For every hole-in-the-wall knafeh (sweet cheese dessert) joint, there’s also a fit-for-royalty fine-dining spot. The commercial heart of the city, ultra-modern buildings, hotels, restaurants, art galleries and boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and tiny artisan workshops. In Jabal al-Lweibdeh, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, ancient and modern are synchronous.

The soundtrack -a cacophony of traffic and car horns honking from the streets below, soothed by the echoes of the call to prayer.
