What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

for my kinds it was their first time experiencing the cable car and they enjoyed a lot, but up in the mountain due to the rain the surface of the stars were sleepy and my kid fall from one step, she thought that she would fall from the mountain and were scared, so keep an eye on your children while at the mountain side of the cable car (tele cabin) and enjoy the cool weather and the nature and take photos of your visit to recreate the scene on photos

You've probably pictured a desert as a vast expanse of empty land, a mirage that forever remains out of reach. This is the common perception, but let's be honest, this description sounds more like the hustle and bustle of city life than an accurate portrayal of a desert. If this is how you see deserts, then you're in for a big surprise. Maranjab Desert is one of those places that will completely change your mind about what a desert is and what desert adventures are all about. If you ask me, the best way to reconnect with nature isn't through forests, mountains, seas, or plains; it's by venturing into the heart of Iran's deserts, like Maranjab. The desert's tranquility and grandeur rival those of any mountain range, and its vastness dwarfs any ocean or lake. And under its starlit sky, you'll feel lost in a way you never could in an endless forest. In short, Maranjab Desert welcomes you with open arms and a warm embrace. At first glance, vast deserts and sandy plains might not seem very appealing. You might even feel a sense of thirst and heat just by looking at pictures of sand dunes and barren landscapes. But it's never too late to change a misconception. Deserts are like old friends who might seem a bit rough around the edges at first. If you've never gone on a desert adventure, Maranjab is a great place to start. Maranjab Desert is more accessible than other deserts in Iran and offers more to its visitors. Its convenient location and ample facilities make it easy to get there. In short, Maranjab is not overwhelmed by tourism and is happy to welcome visitors. Several factors contribute to Maranjab Desert's popularity. For example, it offers excellent accommodations for tourists, ensuring a comfortable stay. Its vast and pristine landscape is perfect for exploring and enjoying the feel of sand between your toes. Beyond its sand dunes and endless horizon, Maranjab Desert offers much more. It's a place where you can discover the traces of ancient civilizations and admire the unique geological formations. You won't get bored, and you won't be stranded in the desert without water. However, it's important to remember that a desert is a powerful and awe-inspiring place. So, it's best to avoid venturing into Maranjab alone or without proper equipment. To know what to pack for your trip to Maranjab Desert, you need to understand its climate. Deserts are known for their dry conditions, but temperatures can vary depending on the season. For example, the average daytime temperature in winter is about 20 degrees Celsius lower than in the summer. If you ask me, the best time to visit Maranjab Desert depends on your personal preference. However, the second half of the year is generally a better choice, especially autumn when temperatures are mild. Imagine spending your days in about 20 degrees Celsius and your nights in about 5 degrees Celsius. Plus, you might even catch a glimpse of rain. As for winter, it depends on how well you can tolerate freezing nights.

Visiting the Hazrat Fatima Masumeh Shrine was a deeply spiritual and peaceful experience. The stunning architecture, intricate tile work, and serene atmosphere create a sense of awe and reverence. The hospitality of the people and the well-maintained surroundings added to the experience. A truly sacred and unforgettable place to visit.

We passed this place and village in 1975 on our way back home from Nepal. The Dome of Soltaniyeh of the early 14th century was very impressive by that time and only being visited by a few tourists.

A Timeless Tribute to a Genius – Tomb of Abu Ali Sina (Avicenna) The Tomb of Abu Ali Sina, also known as Avicenna, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Hamadan—and for good reason. This beautifully designed mausoleum honors one of the greatest minds in history: a philosopher, physician, and polymath whose influence shaped both Eastern and Western thought for centuries. The monument blends traditional Iranian design with modern architectural elements, symbolizing the enduring legacy of science and wisdom. Inside the small museum, you’ll find manuscripts, scientific tools, and exhibits that showcase Avicenna’s life and contributions to medicine, astronomy, and philosophy. 🕰 Best time to visit: Early morning or late afternoon, when it’s less crowded and the light is great for photos. 📍Located in the heart of Hamadan, easily accessible by foot or taxi. 🎟️ Entry is inexpensive and worth every rial for the cultural value it offers. 📸 Don’t miss the inscriptions and the large statue of Avicenna near the entrance. It’s a place that inspires reflection—not only on the brilliance of one man, but on the rich intellectual history of Iran. Whether you’re a history lover, a student, or just a curious traveler, this site is an absolute must-visit in Hamadan.

Alisadr cave is one of the longest water caves in the world. I was so impressed with the beauty of this cave, once again. it was my second visit to this water cave. Don't miss it if you travel to Hamedan.

A must visit if you are nearby don’t miss the opportunity. You can park quite close to the main attraction, the entrance is cheap and worth the visit. Quite peaceful and rich historic place surrounded by the mountains and water, if it’s the Spring time it’ll be greenish and the water ways will be filled, enjoy it if you can! Love the memories of many years visiting this place with my family n friends !

Very awesome castle to visit, very historical, you can walk around the ruins and check out the various artifacts they have in the castle. The ruins are fairly well preserved, there isn’t to much to see but I really enjoyed my time here and would recommend checking it out if your into history.

Too visit The Umayyad Mosque was in my wish list for very long time felt great the memories to remember rest of my life experience.

This place is a hidden gem in the desert. It is located in the middle of the highway between south Amman and Al-Azraq. Upon arrival, tickets are bought at the counter. Then, you walk a few 100 meters until you arrive the mini-castle. Inside, there are some lovely mosaics and drawings. The place is relatively small. There is a water well right outside. Expect to spend no more than 30 minutes here. They have ample parking outside, and have a small store for souvenirs and snacks.

Very beautiful castle closer to main road. Very much preserved and can spend about a hour there. Best to avoid summer due to hit weather. it is a two story castle with multiple halls and rooms. It is about 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from Amman city through the desert area (road to Soudi Arabia and Iraq). No tickets needed (as I heard need to buy tickets on peak season/ days). There is ample parking.

A very beautiful historical place, the views around the site are breathtaking, and it is relatively very poorly preserved. The place itself is well maintained and has many secret corners to explore and discover. If you arrive on a sunny day, take a bottle of water with you

It's such a great spot to visit. Tucked away in a tiny valley is a huge rushing river with falls! The trail along the river from the falls is a must-see as well.make sure you continue past the falls and follow the river downstream for some amazing sights.

What better way to enter Roman Ruins than thru this great entrance. The Adrian Gate. There are parts that are clearly restored but it's massive and impressive.

It doesn't happen on purpose, but 3 out of 5 bottles of wine that my wife and I order when we go somewhere are of this type of wine. And most often is Gamla. Well, at last we were able to visit the source of the wine we loved so much. There are small excursions here, but we didn’t get there at the right time, so we took another entertainment: a very sociable pretty girl in English told us about several of the wines we chose that they make here and let us try each one. It was a wonderful experience...both the wine and the conversation. We decided to buy 3 different bottles at once for ourselves and 1 for my mother as a present. Be sure to visit this place, with a tour or not - it's definitely worth it. This is magical wine.

Excellently preserves Roman theatre. Entry cost is cheap and includes the very interesting Folk Museum. Climb to the top of the theatre and get a feeling of what it must have been like to see a play almost 2,000 years ago. It’s also very lively with families

The Amman Citadel is a truly remarkable site that combines layers of history and culture. Walking through the ruins, you can feel the connection between ancient civilizations — from the local traditions to the legacy of the Roman Empire. The location itself is breathtaking, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of Amman that makes it a very special place to visit. In addition to the ruins and the view, there is also a well-organized museum on site. The museum is filled with fascinating artifacts and very important historical pieces that reflect Jordan’s rich cultural heritage. It adds great value to the visit, as you not only see the structures but also understand the history behind them. I highly recommend visiting the Amman Citadel — it is a place where history, culture, and stunning views come together, and it should be on everyone’s list when exploring Jordan The Amman Citadel is a truly remarkable site that combines layers of history and culture.

A nice street in Amman full of old shops and restaurants. We went there for a walk and spent almost 2 hours jumping from one store to the other. Lots of shops who sell authentic stuff and many restaurants also serving all kinds of food

Very clean organized cool museum, 5 stars all the way. Cars are rare, each car has a story that involves the late king Hussein Bin Talal (طيب الله ثراه). Some cars I lived old enough to see it in person when we lived in Dabouq close to Hashemiya palace. He had good taste in cars.

Beautiful castle with interesting history. During walking there I was thinking how clever people were at that time , how they kept and filtered water and stored food. Interesting experience.

Umm er-Rasas (Kastrom Mefa’a) This site is located approximately 30 km south of Madaba. Its a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an ancient Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic period archaeological site. The site is still partially unexcavated which means that there is still a lot to be discovered, however, the Church of Stephanos is amazing. This site is probably not a stand-alone site to be visited but it should be seen on a stop during a chain of stops. What you should Expect Stunning mosaics depicting various ancient cities and their names, and geometric patterns. A Hermit Tower Tips and Insights Budget at least 1-2 hours for your visit, depending on your level of interest and pace. Visitors are free to explore the site independently. Be prepared for uneven terrain and potential dust or debris from ongoing excavations. The site is open during summer hours (8 AM - 6 PM), but winter hours may vary. Food is available at the site

Such a special place. There is a lot to see here. I love the beautiful chapel that has a direct view of the Sea of Galilee. The ruins are stunning, and the views of the sea are so beautiful! We would spend lots of time dipping our feet in the water and taking in the beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

Visiting Mount Nebo was an unforgettable experience. This historical and spiritual site offers stunning panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem on a clear day. You truly feel the significance of the place where it’s believed Prophet Moses stood and viewed the Promised Land before he passed away. The site is well-preserved and peaceful, with beautiful mosaics inside the memorial church and friendly staff who are happy to explain the history. There’s a small museum as well, and the surrounding gardens are very calming. It’s best to go in the early morning or late afternoon for better weather and lighting. Don’t forget your camera — the scenery is breathtaking! Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, religion, or just a peaceful place to reflect. 🇯🇴✨

Spectacular place to visit. Spent a good afternoon exploring in the heat and the shade. It was exciting to see the excavation. I visited the bathhouse and public latrines area. The main street was exciting as well. I didn't climb the hill and focused my time in the town.

Great place for swimming. Lots of fun to be had here as the water is comfortable year round. The day was comfortable warm and the water had the right temperature. And the colour of the water I found spectacular. Fantastic mountain retreat with crystal clear freshwater and an amazing back massaging waterfall. The place has a large pool suitable for swimming. It has numerous colored fishes. The open space is of grassland and a suitable place to spend time. The reflection of trees in the water is breathtaking. They have facilities like water supply, place to make BBQ, sitting benches, parking and washroom with dress changing space. Wow huge place lots of parking and space. The water is amazing. This is a must to go place in Israel🥰🥰🥰🇮🇱
