Reasons To
Visit Jordan

  • Ancient Ruins

    Petra is the most famous of Jordan's historic ruins, but it is by no means the only one. Ummayad palaces, Graeco-Roman cities, ancient churches and crusader castles are found throughout the country and are likely to form the backbone of your time in Jordan.

  • Classical History

    Jerash is the Classical jewel in Jordan's crown but the Greeks and Romans left their traces across the country, sometimes leaving behind entire cities, like Umm Qais, and sometimes modifying existing settlements, as with the colonnaded street in Petra.

    Classical History
  • Desert

    It was T.E. Lawrence who brought Wadi Rum to public attention, and his description of the desert region as "vast, echoing and godlike" sums it up perfectly. The red sand and towering sandstone mountains make this a deservedly popular destination.

  • Nature Reserves

    Jordan is right at the forefront of conservation in the Middle East, and her reserves don't just preserve rare wildlife, like the ibex, but also remarkable scenery and traditional ways of life. The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature runs five main reserves in Jordan, such as the Dana Nature Reserve.

  • UNESCO World Heritage Sites

    Petra is one of the most famous UNESCO world heritage sites and one of the places everyone wants to visit once in their life. The other heritage site you may visit in Jordan is Qasr Al-Amra, protected by UNESCO because of its rich and vivid frescoes dating to the Umayyad period (the eight century AD).

  • Wadis

    Carving down from the desert plateau to the depths of the Dead Sea and Rift Valley, Jordan's wadis are a haven for the more adventurous, whether you choose to hike down Wadi Feynan to spend time at the Ecolodge there, or to tackle the deep pools and boulder chokes of the wet descent of Wadi Mujib.

Accommodation in Jordan: Movenpick Tala Bay

One of the best family resorts in Aqaba, Movenpick Tala Bay offers excellent facilities, and plenty of bars, restaurants, pools and beaches to choose from.

Our Rating: Medium

Movenpick Tala Bay

Aqaba

Around 15 minutes by car from the centre of Aqaba, the Movenpick Tala Bay benefits from a great location right on the beach. Naturally, since it is some way outside Jordan's only beach resort, the Movenpick is pretty uncrowded and feels much more spacious than the hotels in the centre.

The rooms and public areas feel bright, modern and airy. With a number of pools, a decent beach and a wide range of restaurants and cafes to choose from, the Movenpick is an excellent choice for those seeking some relaxation after all the sightseeing that a trip to Jordan usually involves.
