Welcome to Jordan, a land where history, culture, and nature intertwine.

Your Maestro for the Jrny is Ankita Kumar, better known by her Instagram handle monkey.inc. As a full-time traveller, Ankita has been on wild adventures all over the world—from riding an open iron ore train across the Sahara desert to diving in a shipwreck.

Begin your Jordanian adventure at the Dead Sea, a serene and unique landscape 410 metres below sea level. Float effortlessly in the mineral-rich waters, indulge in therapeutic black mud treatments, and experience the natural healing properties that have drawn visitors to these shores for millennia.

Watch as the setting sun transforms the rose-coloured mountains into deep crimson, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that will leave you spellbound.

Discover Aqaba, Jordan's window to the sea, where history meets modern coastal life. Dive into the warm waters of the Red Sea to explore pristine coral reefs, wander through bustling souks, and immerse yourself in the renowned Jordanian hospitality that makes every visitor feel like an honoured guest.

Step into the past at Petra, the awe-inspiring rose-red city carved into the very mountains themselves. Walk the narrow Siq until you stand before the magnificent Treasury, its intricate façade a testament to the architectural genius of the ancient Nabataean civilisation. Explore countless tombs, temples, and a vast archaeological wonderland that stretches beyond the main trail.

Complete your journey in Amman, where past and present coexist harmoniously. Climb to the ancient Citadel for panoramic views, descend to the Roman Amphitheatre in the heart of downtown, and lose yourself in the contrast of contemporary art galleries and traditional markets.
