Press Release: May 07, 2020
From the moment we decided to visit Jordan, we knew it was going to be a difficult task. We had less than 48 hours to explore what we thought were the most famous and best Instagrammable spots & sights in Jordan. This beautiful Arab country is home to many amazing ancient historical views, to a broad red magical desert called Wadi Rum and to Petra, one of the most iconic landmarks in the whole wide world. On this blog post – Instagrammable spots in Jordan -, we will share our experiences and tips on how to spend your time efficiently in Jordan if you only have two days.
Firstly, after we booked our flight with Ryanair, we had to ask ourselves how we were going to get around Jordan and which was the most value for money. As we wanted to feel independent and visit as many sights as possible in this short time, we decided to rent a car from the airport. Even though we were advised to hire a personal driver due to the difficult roads and driving style in Jordan (which eventually was not the case), we went ahead and took the risk anyway.

Secondly, since we had an adventurous journey ahead of us, we were looking to book a hotel that was going to offer comfort, good quality and quantity of restaurants and in general, a pampering experience. We looked no further than the well-known Accor hotels group. Through their website, we chose to stay at the 5-star Fairmont Hotel, which is located in the heart of Amman, the capital of Jordan. We also took advantage of the 15% discount given to their members.
Arriving at the incredibly modern Queen Alia International Airport, we issued our visas within 10 minutes and cost us about 50 Euro per person. Exiting the airport, we also bought our sim card, which cost around 40 Euro, in order to have internet coverage everywhere (chose the 60GB data plan with tethering available to share with your partner). After we picked our car straight outside from the airport, we drove for about 30 minutes to arrive at our stunningly beautiful Hotel.
We had a few hours to spend in downtown Amman, so we decided to visit the famous Rainbow street. The road was lively and colourful, full of small jewellery shops, street food restaurants and argeela spots (shisha). Definitely an Instagrammable spot in Jordan. There, we bought our turbans from a lovely souvenir shop which was located exactly opposite the famous Jordanian restaurant Sufra. We finished our night with a lovely authentic Jordanian dinner and a flavoured shisha at the Nassim Restaurant located in our Hotel.
Jordan is a must and safe trip. While some people are afraid, we are strongly recommend to rent a car and drive. If we could turn back time, we will stay for an extra day, in order to have the opportunity to also book one night at the beautiful camp Hotels of Wadi Rum.
