Here is an overview of the best places to visit in Jordan
The King's Way
The King's Way is a journey through time and terrain, a
route that traces its origins back to biblical times. In Numbers 20, Moses
sought permission from the King of Edom to traverse what is now known as the
King's Way, requesting that they pass through without deviation. Today, this
ancient thoroughfare weaves through the heart of Jordan, offering travelers a
chance to explore some of the country's most awe-inspiring landscapes.
Unlike modern highways, the King's Way is not a straight
shot from point A to point B. Instead, it meanders and twists, revealing
breathtaking scenery at every turn. It's a route that invites exploration and
beckons travelers to immerse themselves in Jordan's natural beauty.
Along this historic path, you'll encounter Jordan's three
major east-west canyons: Wadi Walla, located south of Madaba; Wadi Mujib, often
dubbed "Our Grand Canyon," just north of Karak; and Wadi Hasa, situated
north of Tafilah. These canyons are geological wonders in their own right, each
with its unique charm and character.
Navigating these canyons on switchback roads can be
time-consuming, but it's a journey worth savoring. To truly appreciate the
splendor of the King's Way, we recommend against attempting to complete the
route in a single day. The road alone demands around six hours of driving, but
the true magic lies in the stops and detours along the way.
The King's Way is adorned with remarkable sites that
provide a deeper understanding of Jordan's history and culture. Ancient ruins,
historical landmarks, and cultural treasures await those who take the time to
explore. Whether it's the timeless beauty of Madaba, the historical
significance of Karak Castle, or the rich heritage of Tafilah, the King's Way
is a tapestry of experiences waiting to be woven.
As you wind your way through this scenic route, remember
that the true essence of the King's Way lies not just in reaching your
destination but in savoring the journey itself. Each bend in the road reveals a
new facet of Jordan's natural beauty and cultural richness, inviting you to
slow down, take in the sights, and create lasting memories along the way.
