Creator's Key Takeaways

It's a beautiful one.

Jordan has some of the best food in the world. I'm not kidding.

It's a good experience. Just one thing I'll tell you. Uh do not shave your body the day before going in that thing.

This one you don't forget because the things that you see and do are so rich that uh they can't really be replicated elsewhere in the world.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Plan your itinerary before booking flights to avoid backtracking.
✓Visit Petra by night on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays.
✓Do not shave the day before floating in the Dead Sea.
✓Wear water shoes at the Dead Sea.
✓Dress conservatively in Jordan, especially in Amman.
