Jordan Is One of the Most Underrated Places on Earth

Jordan is one of those rare destinations that steals your heart.

It hasn’t always been on the mainstream radar, which is exactly what makes it so special. While it’s finally gaining popularity, we’ve been traveling here for years and every time we return, we’re reminded why it remains one of our favorite places on the planet.

What makes Jordan so unique is how much variety exists in such a small region of land.
In most places, seeing this many landscapes would require trains, flights, or long road trips.

Here?
With thoughtful planning and seamless logistics, you can experience ancient cities, sacred history, desert adventures, and beachside luxury… all in one beautifully curated journey.

And that’s what makes it magic.

Let us show you why.

A Wonder of the World — Petra

Of course, there’s Petra , an official Wonder of the World and the icon everyone recognizes.

But here’s the truth most travelers miss: Jordan is not just Petra.

Many people rush in for a quick one or two day visit, often including Jordan as an “add on” to other tours in the region such as Egypt. When you do that, you miss the soul of the country.

Petra is extraordinary — but it’s just one chapter of the story.

City Energy — Amman

Amman surprises people.

It’s modern, youthful, and creative - filled with rooftop lounges, stylish cafés, incredible dining, and a nightlife scene that feels both relaxed and sophisticated. Yet just steps away, you’ll find ancient ruins, the Citadel, the Roman Amphitheater, and winding streets that still hold the charm of old-world Jordan.

It’s the perfect welcome — a place where past and present live side by side.

Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the baptism site of Jesus Christ

Bethany Beyond the Jordan

Here is where history feels deeply personal.

Believed to be the place where Jesus was baptized, this quiet riverside setting carries a powerful stillness. It’s one of those places that makes you slow down, breathe, and simply feel where you are.

Jordan is filled with moments like this — sacred, timeless, unforgettable.

Then there’s Wadi Rum.

Yes, glamping is trendy around the world now.

But no one does it like Jordan.

Luxury bubble tents under the stars. Camels moving across golden dunes. A world all its own.

When done the VIVE way, this becomes the most magical part of the journey — the kind of unique travel you talk about for the rest of your life.

Aqaba / Beaches

Most people don’t think of Jordan for beaches and that’s exactly why it feels like a hidden gem.

Welcome to Aqaba.

Luxury Beach clubs. Boutique shopping. Incredible restaurants. Spas, yoga, golf, nightlife. World-class diving and yacht days on the Red Sea.

It’s equal parts relaxed and lively, making it the perfect place to celebrate during your adventure.

Lowest Point on Earth — The Dead Sea

And finally — one of the most surreal experiences on Earth: The Dead Sea.

The lowest point on the planet.

Floating effortlessly in mineral-rich water. Covering yourself in mineral rich mud. Watching the desert cliffs glow at sunset.

It feels otherworldly restorative, quiet, almost dreamlike.

When done right, it’s not just a stop. It’s a healing experience.
