Overview
Take a trip to Petra on your Jordan Vacation
Petra is an ancient city in southern Jordan. It was carved out of red sandstone by the Nabateans some 2,000 years ago, the reason it is also called the "Red Rose City." Petra is renowned for its rock-cut architecture and intricate conduit system. It is an important symbol of Jordan and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting over a million visitors each year.
A walk through a narrow gorge called the Siq leads you into Petra and culminates at the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) ruin, one of the city's most elaborate tombs. Explore the High Palace of Sacrifice, an excellent place for hiking and enjoying a view of the surrounding area. Visit the monastery (Ad Deir) and take a trip to the royal tombs. Also spend time at the Petra Archeological Museum to see the display of artifacts discovered in the city.

What do the experts say?
You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
