The Vibrant waters of the Dead Sea in Jordan
The Dead Sea in Jordan does not disappoint. From its vibrant blue waters to its high salt content it is unlike any other body of water in the world. This photo from high above gives you an idea of the contrasting landscape that Jordan has to offer.
Great Places to Celebrate Earth Hour
Tonight at 8:30 pm nations around the world will be taking part in Earth Hour to take a stand against climate change. Started by the WWF in Australia, it has grown immensely since 2007 to become a global initiative.
Seven Super Travel Photos
Hostel Bookers is running a game of photo tag and were kind enough to include us in their inaugural post. I love going back through photographs that I haven’t looked at recently. Each one tells a story and reminds me of a precious moment in time.
Our Favourite Photos of 2011 by Destination
This past year was an interesting one. We got to re-visit some places we had already been but more importantly we got to take in some of our dream destinations for the first time. We thought the best way to show you why we loved all the places we visited was through our favourite photos from each country. So sit back with a cup of coffee and come travel with us for a few moments.
Featured Destination: Jordan
The magnificent Petra and The Blue Mosque of Amaan, The Arabian Desert and Wadi Rum, the stomping grounds of T.E. Lawrence. The mysterious Dead Sea and Red Sea Coast. These are just some of the images that spring to mind when envisioning the Kingdom of Jordan.
Adventure Travel Wrap Up – A Look Back on 2011
As I sit down to write this 2011 Adventure Travel Round up, I am in shock and awe that we really did all these things in a span of 365 days. We just lived a year of adventure travel that I never thought I would have the opportunity to ever do in my life
Amazing Ruins of the World: A Visual Memory
As I go through the list of amazing ruins we have visited on our travels, I see that we have barely scratched the surface of all there is to see in the world. We have yet to see Easter Island, Stonehenge, The Acropolis in Athens or the Roman Colosseum. We may never see any of [...]
Getting Down with Nature at Dana Nature Reserve
The 15th century stone village of Dana in Jordan is a quiet almost deserted place located in the heart of the Dana Biosphere Nature Reserve.
Wadi Rum, Bedouin Camping and Camels at Sunset
In Wadi Rum, Jordan, we had our chance to sleep in a Bedouin Camp. We arrived at Captains Desert Camp after our jeep safari where we took a sunset camel trek.
Petra Jordan, The Lost City by Day
It wasn’t voted one of the New 7 Wonders of the world for nothing! Petra in Jordan is one of those places that really does live up to the hype. With cliffs reaching up to 200 metres high it is absolutely one of the most phenomenal gorges on earth.
The Jerash Amphitheatre
Jerash is considered the most well preserved Roman Ruins outside of Italy. It is also one of the busiest tourist sites in Jordan.
The Ma’In Hot Springs Waterfall, Jordan
We were looking forward to spending the night at Evason Ma’in Hot Springs Hotel in Jordan. We had heard that it was a wonderful experience sitting under it’s thermal waterfall letting the stress of life melt away.
Walking Amman
It was an incredible 10 days in Jordan and it started off right with our stay at the luxurious Four Seasons Amman. Upon our return, we were eager to see how people lived in Jordan’s largest city.
A Jewel of Petra: The Monastery
You loved our Petra By Night photographs, now feast your eyes on the Monastery! Reaching 50 metres into the air, it is the largest building in all of Petra.
Wadi Rum a Bedouin Experience
Up until a short time ago, I had never heard of Wadi Rum. Wadi Rum sounded extremely remote and exotic and not knowing much about the Middle East, I knew I had to get there one day
Camels at Sunset in Wadi Rum
We had been on a camel safari before in India, but we didn’t feel that we had truly experienced our Lawrence of Arabia moment until we rode camels in the Arabian Desert. And what better place than Wadi Rum, Jordan; Lawrence of Arabia’s old stomping ground.
Canyoning Jordan, An Eco-Adventure Thrill Ride
The Wadi Mujib gorge in Jordan houses some of the most spectacular cliffs we have ever witnessed and we were going to hike, swim, slide and abseil right down the centre of them all.
A Bedouin Girl
The eyes of this bedouin girl in Jordan really pull you into the photograph. When she came running up to me outside the village of Feynan she posed happily for this photo.
Feynan Eco Lodge, A Quiet Retreat in Jordan
The Feynan Eco Lodge is a part of The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Jordan. Located in the Dana River Biosphere Reserve, it is a solar powered retreat offering peace and quiet while promoting conservation.
Dead Sea Fun in Jordan
It was very exciting when we went to the Dead Sea in Jordan. This is a place where anyone can float and I was determined to put this rumour to the test.
