One of my favorite things about traveling is that I suddenly have time to read. When I’m traveling around the world I often manage to read two or even three books a month or even a week. Over the last year, I have put together a list of the best travel books to read when traveling! Many of these travel books are best read when you’re actually in the country they are set in.

It’s one of the best things to do in Amman, and it’s only 10-minutes away from Sufra Restaurant. Amman to The Dead Sea by Car (Approx 1 h 30 min)Pack your bags and head to one of Jordan’s top attractions. The water temperature is perfect, and you’ll see plenty of marine life like sea turtles and beautiful coral reefs. Whether you’re swimming in the Dead Sea, visiting the ancient city of Petra or hiking the beautiful Wadi Rum landscape – there’s always something to discover.

The decay of the city continued, aided by earthquakes and the rise in importance of sea trade routes, and Petra reached its nadir near the close of the Byzantine Empire’s rule, around A.D. 700.Visitors today can see varying blends of Nabataean and Greco-Roman architectural styles in the city’s tombs, many of which were looted by thieves and their treasures thus lost. It’s an easy 15-minute walk downhill though so you might want to save the ride till the way back up as that final slog up a sandy path after a day’s walking is a bit of a killer. There’s a mixture of places to eat and drink inside Petra, from Bedouin tea stalls and simple kiosks to cafés, and there’s even a full restaurant near the museum called The Basin where you can have a buffet lunch and a bottle of wine (though you might need a camel to carry you back after! ). Every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday there’s magical light show at Petra, with 1500 candles lighting the route to along The Siq to The Treasury.
