Drifting above Wadi Rum’s vermilion red desertscapes is one of our favorite Jordan experiences. But this was just the beginning of our trip. One that took us hiking through crisp evergreen forests in Ajloun, floating down the Mujib canyon and diving beneath sapphire seas in Aqaba where we were met with fish and coral in a rainbow of hues. From the lowest point on earth to the highest peak—we realized this is a place full of color and life.

It’s time to look beyond Jordan’s red plains and discover the lush and wildlife-rich landscapes that you don’t know about—because they’re just as exhilarating. Just as beautiful. And just as mesmerising as its timeless red sands.
