The Dead Sea Beach
If you want to enjoy your stay in Jordan, but you only have a short time to visit, then you can visit theses two places which are located only one hour from Amman, the capital city.
Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is one of the best vacation spots in the world. There are many luxury beach resorts along the Dead Sea. It will be a great experience to stay at an exquisite resort and have fun at its private beach. You can not swim in the Dead Sea because of the high salt content in water, but you can float on the surface of water instead. You can even see people reading a book or a magazine while floating in the Dead Sea water. There is also a public beach you can use for free which is full of local people as well as tourists. The salt and mud in the Dead Sea are known to have abundant minerals which are beneficial to the skin. If you visit Jordan, you can buy Dead Sea products as souvenirs including mud mask, mineral soap, salt scrub and so on.

Jerash
Are you interested in historical sites? Would you like to visit Ancient Roman cities? Then I recommend you to visit Jerash no matter what. The ancient city Jerash, located in Northern Jordan, is famous for its Roman ruins. It is called “The Pompeii of the Middle East” as it is one of the most well preserved Ancient Roman cities outside of Rome. If you visit Jordan between the end of July and beginning of August, you can go to Jerash Festival which is held in Jerash.
