With a great variety of fun activities in the sand and mud under the sun, this land is a perfect spot for Jordan family holidays. Let us check out few things that you and your kids can enjoy while on a family outing in Jordan. W Wa ad di i R Rum um E Exp xplo lor ra ati tio on n Wadi Rum which means Valley of the Moon lies in the south of Jordan and is set on a high plateau at the western edge of the Arabian Desert. Rippled sand dunes, gigantic rock formations and clear skies at night make it an ultimate fairy tale setting across a deserted area. Wadi Rum is considered the reddest part of Jordan due to the colors formed by iron oxide and hence is the most dramatic in terms of landscape. Popping massive rock formations straight up from the sand sea due to the primordial tectonic movements create a great view to enjoy. The valleys and gorges leveled by the blowing sand and winter floods formed the sandstone into natural towers and curving arches. The substrate of Wadi Rum formed by the harder and older granite that is visible among the base strata of the higher mountains creates a spectacular setting that make the place even more enjoyable. F Fl lo oa ati tin ng g in in the the D De ea ad d Se Sea a Floating in the Dead Sea is one of the most unique experiences Jordan has to offer! Just lay back, relax and enjoy the natural wonder. Why do people love to float in the Dead Sea? There are many answers to this question. Firstly, the water of the Dead Sea is saltier than that of any other water body on the earth. The concentration of the salt is about 34%. And this high concentration of dissolved mineral salts in the water makes the water denser than that of plain fresh water. And since our body weight is lighter than the density of the water our body is more buoyant in it and we float easily whereas in case of fresh plain water our body sinks. Isn’t that a great experience for you and your kids to enjoy!
