Wadi Rum may be a desert, but it's far from ordinary. This incredible landscape carries centuries of history — once a vital trade route linking Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. With its dramatic red sands, towering rock formations, and wide-open silence, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression. Entry is free with the Jordan Pass, and once inside, a Jeep tour is a must. I highly recommend the 4-hour tour — it hits all the major highlights, gives you time to sip herbal tea in a local Bedouin village, and includes some adrenaline-pumping rides through the sand dunes. Our driver made the dune drifting part a blast — we couldn’t stop smiling! If you're planning to stay overnight (and you should!), book a tent inside the protected area. Watching the sunset fade into a night full of stars is a surreal experience. Don’t miss the stargazing tour — the desert sky here is unbelievably clear. Dinner is another highlight — a traditional meal slow-cooked underground in the sand for over three hours. The flavor and the experience both are unforgettable. Wadi Rum is more than just a desert — it’s an experience of nature, history, and Bedouin hospitality all in one. Absolutely worth the visit!

A magnificent, unforgettable view where the blue sky meets the orange dunes against the backdrop of majestic mountains. You can ride a jap or a camel, stroll through the dunes, sleep overnight in a tent or a cabin, or admire the starry night sky. I highly recommend it; it's an unforgettable experience.

Wadi Rum is where the Earth pretends to be Mars. It does a pretty convincing job: giant red cliffs, red sand, and silence so thick it hums .. its really, really quiet. Most people stay in one of the many bubble or dome camps, which look like space pods which are scattered all over the desert. These are great, but to really get a feel of the place you’ve got to explore. I hiked up to Burdah Rock Bridge (a 1.5 hour scramble worth every sweaty step) or wander the canyons. If you're staying overnight, one or two nights is perfect: long enough to feel lost in another world, short enough not to get bored.

Best desert experience ever. Amazing natural beauty. If you need to make a choice between Petra and Wadi Run. Best to do Wadi rum safari. Sleeping in a tent is ok. The tent we stayed in was a deluxe tent, more like 1 star. Dinner was good. Breakfast was a total dispointment. It's better to stay somewhere else

Absolutely mind-blowing. This is the desert where the Martian and Dune were filmed and we can see why! Definitely stay for the sunset!

This place can't be more magical! No one visiting Jordan should skip this. The atmosphere, the weather, the view, and everything. It is just magical! We had a couple of hours ride tour. I found it a bit short honestly, but still enough to make sure I am coming again to visit at some point in my life. Highly recommend!!

It was an amazing experience. I don’t know if we were just lucky, but the driver who took us on the jeep tour heard that we were hungry and gathered small dried wood pieces from the sand to make a fire. He baked bread for us, and we had tea. The sunset was incredible.

Our visit was on day 1 of Jordan pass, quite cumbersome. Rest of the experience was great, thanks to our guide giving in depth details of multiple era of transition this site has witnessed. There is a small museum having locally recovered treasure, and it’s one the best range of museums articles to experience right at the place of its recovery.

Panoramic Views and Ancient History at the Amman Citadel.. Perched on one of Amman's highest hills, the Citadel offers a captivating blend of history and breathtaking views that you won't want to miss. It's a must-visit when in the city, providing a magnificent panoramic outlook that includes the iconic Roman Theatre nestled in the valley below. The contrast between the ancient ruins on the hill and the bustling, modern city stretching out below is simply stunning. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with clear pathways and well-preserved structures that give you a true sense of walking through history. The most striking of these is the Temple of Hercules. While only parts of the colossal statue remain—most notably a giant stone hand—they give you a powerful insight into the scale and ambition of Roman architecture. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for an incredible vantage point, the Citadel is a rewarding experience. It provides deep insights into the history of Amman, and you can easily explore it with or without a guide. The informational signs are excellent, but a guide can also bring the stories to life with more detailed historical context.

The Amman Citadel is one of those places that takes your breath away not just because of the views, but because of the history that surrounds you. The ancient ruins are incredible to walk through, from the Temple of Hercules to the Umayyad Palace. It’s amazing to stand among structures that have been there for thousands of years and imagine all the civilizations that once called this place home. What I loved most was the mix of beauty and serenity. Stray cats wander the site, lounging in the sun or following visitors around like little guides. The view from the top is absolutely stunning you can see all of Amman spread out below, a blend of old and new. There’s also a small but fascinating museum at the Citadel that holds artifacts dating back to prehistoric times. If you love history, culture, or just a good sunset view, this place is a must-visit.

Amazing place with incredible history and beautiful views over Amman! 🏛️✨ The ruins, like the Temple of Hercules and Umayyad Palace, are fascinating and well-preserved. Peaceful, not too crowded, and a must-visit spot in the city! 💛

The Amman Citadel is such a beautiful and historic place to visit. The ancient ruins are truly impressive, and the views overlooking the city are breathtaking. The area is well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A must-see spot when visiting Amman!

Amman Citadel is an Archiological site which has ruins from various civilizations. The site has a long history and many historical landmarks, dating back from bronze age (1200 BCE), to Roman period, Byzantine period and Umayyaad period (661-750 CE) are there. The site was mostly abandoned afterwards until the late 19th century. The site is mostly in ruins now, but very interesting to visit it. Every important part is explained in boards in English and Arabic. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was on the Citadel hill has many beautiful collection of artifacts from all periods of history. Citadel is the most important part of Amman, must visit place.

Nice to walk around and have a look. The cafe was nice to sit down afterwards. But the people inside trying to sell things or try to trick you by insisting on guiding you or tell you «fun facts» then following you and asking for money ruins the mood abit.

Part of the Roman theater of Amman. I filmed here numerous times. I always enjoy the acoustics. The government needs to do more to boost this place and bring in more tourists.

this one is smaller and also used for events. the roman theatre is used for events as well

Loved the place! Such a magical historic location You can’t enter the theater unless their is a concert or an event Their is public area in front of the theater

The Odeon Theater or the Winter Theater is a small Roman amphitheater located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, where the Great Roman Amphitheater is also located. It was built in the second century AD, before the construction of the Great Amphitheater, to accommodate about 500 spectators. The Odeon Theater was mainly used for musical performances. Archaeologists believe it may have been roofed with a wooden roof or temporary tent to protect the audience and performers from the weather. It is believed that the severe earthquake that struck the city of Amman and the regions of the Levant in 1927 was the main reason for the demolition of a large part of it, especially its high facade. The amphitheater and the surrounding area in the Hashemite Square have recently been restored, where concerts and poetry seminars are held today.

The Odeon is a small 500-seat theatre. Not to be confused with the large Roman Theatre that stands right next to it, on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza, while the Odeon stands on the east side of the Plaza. Very nice, tidy and clean old ruins, that is kept in good shape.

Right next to the Roman theatre and a great deal smaller! Thought it wasn’t included in the Jordan Pass but the guard asked and we said we had it and got in for free. It’s a lot quieter than the Roman theatre - come here if you are avoiding the ruckus and keen on admiring the ancient Roman architecture.

This is like a compact version of the big Roman Theater next to it. But, it seems to be in better condition (restored?) and feels more welcoming. There are some funky acoustics if you stand at the center of the arena.

Most happening place in Amman... a street full of cafes, restaurants and art shops etc... a stroll around this street during the evenings are the best time pass while in Amman...

It may have been good. The old picture looked nice, it's nothing like it anymore, total waste of time, don't waste your time going to Rainbow Street.

A worthwhile destination if you’re looking for a little vibrancy in an otherwise monotone city. It’s not earth shattering, but has lots of little shops, bars, restaurants and liquor store. Time well spent.

Nice street with colorful basket hanging all around including trees. There are a lot of shops and restaurants around the street. Good place to spend time in Amman.

Spent an afternoon on Rainbow Street and it was such a fun experience! The street is full of unique shops, cozy cafés, and great restaurants, making it the perfect place to wander, eat, and soak in the atmosphere. Whether you’re browsing or just people-watching, it has a lively, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Amman.

The shops on this street are nice they have souvenirs, and I recommend checking them out!

Had heard a lot about it, but honestly found it a bit overrated. It’s a pleasant place for a walk, with a decent selection of shops and restaurants along the way. I did manage to pick up some nice souvenirs, which was a highlight. Overall, it’s a nicer and more relaxed experience compared to the busy city center, but not quite as impressive as I expected.

It is an amazing museum with lots of history behind each car/motorbike. The ticket is for (5 Jordanian Dinar) without audio presentation. It is definitely worth visiting.

Amazing collection of 2 and 4 wheelers. Well restored vintage collection. A must visit for car and bike enthusiasts

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman, Jordan, is a must-visit for anyone interested in cars, history, or Jordan’s royal heritage. Established in 2003 by King Abdullah II as a tribute to his father, King Hussein, the museum showcases over 80 vehicles, including rare classics, motorcycles, and modern sports cars, some dating back to 1909. Each car is impeccably maintained and accompanied by detailed historical context, photos, and multimedia that tie the vehicles to key moments in Jordan’s history, from royal processions to diplomatic gifts like a 1956 armored Cadillac from President Eisenhower. Highlights include the Mars Rover from The Martian, filmed in Wadi Rum, and iconic cars like the Ferrari F40 and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren “Stirling Moss.” The museum’s air-conditioned, well-lit space in Al Hussein Public Parks makes it a comfortable visit, even in summer. The layout is intuitive, and the staff is welcoming, often greeting visitors with warm smiles. It’s not just for car enthusiasts—even non-gearheads will enjoy the storytelling, which offers a unique lens on Jordan’s modernization and royal legacy. I spent over an hour captivated by the blend of automotive craftsmanship and historical narratives. Entry is affordable at 5 JOD for tourists (3 JOD for residents), though the Jordan Pass isn’t valid. It’s open daily except Tuesdays from 10 AM to 7 PM, with free parking available. My only critique is the slightly remote location, so plan for a taxi or car. Overall, it’s a fascinating, well-curated experience that’s worth fitting into your Amman itinerary, whether you’re a car lover or just curious about Jordan’s past.

Wonderful car collection from the Jordanian Royal Family! Old and new and everything in between! Highly recommend to visit if you’re into cars and automotive history!

Very nice place to visit, but the price for non-jordanian people not suitable, it should be less, there are a lot of rare and great cars that every car lovers should see👌

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman was a truly enjoyable experience for me as an automobile enthusiast and admirer. The collection is impressive—not just in terms of the variety of vintage and modern vehicles, but also in how it reflects Jordan’s royal history and connection to automotive culture. From classic Rolls-Royces and rare motorcycles to cutting-edge concept cars, every exhibit is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully curated. What made the visit even more captivating was the storytelling—each car is tied to moments from King Hussein’s life and Jordan’s journey, adding a unique historical dimension. Whether you’re passionate about automotive design, motorsport history, or just appreciate well-crafted machines, this museum is a must-visit in Amman. Ticket price-10JD /person

Amazing collection of classic and modern cars! A great mix of history, elegance, and culture. A must-visit in Amman — even if you're not a car lover!

One of the desert castles located outside of Amman on the way to Al-Azraq. The castle can get some additional care and renovation. The place involves climbing stairs to the upper floor, and requires some care. There is ample parking outside. Tickets can be bought at the entrance. There are restrooms. There is also a mini-shop for souvenirs and snacks. Expect to spend no more than 15 minutes here. Next stop could be the Amra Castle, which, is a sweet 10-15 minute drive.

Qasr al-Harrana, built around the early 8th century under the Umayyads, is among the most enigmatic of Jordan’s desert castles. With its square plan, corner towers, and two stories of vaulted rooms around a central courtyard, it appears fortress-like yet was likely not a military stronghold. Scholars suggest it served as a caravanserai, meeting lodge, or retreat, blending Roman, Byzantine, and Sassanian architectural traditions into an early Islamic expression of power and culture. Located along ancient desert routes, it reflects the Umayyad presence on the frontier and remains one of the best-preserved monuments of its kind.

Interesting Place, nice guide - fun. Worth a visite! Looking back at the history of this area to be able seeing a hotel like this - amazing. Not as spectacular as other places, maybe, its most worth place to see of the desert castles.

The architecture and structure of this castle is solid. It is about an hr from Amman but so worth the drive. There is a small shop located across from the visitor center, where you purchase tickets to enter. Drink the tea, it is delicious and yes, you can have more than just one cup.

Whilst you visit Quseir 'Amra, come here too. It is nearby and few minutes drive from the other beautiful unesco sight. Visit this castle, it takes you maybe half an hour to see but well worth it. Jordan pass is valid, there is a guy who tours you around and tells interesting facts about the "castle".

Anything less than 5 star is not understanding this site. It is extremely important as a desert palace & it alone can show the importance of desert palaces (which I believe are pre-Umayyad). Beautiful architecture, amazing decorations on the second floor, and thousands of graffiti to read. Badly neglected though. The authorities need to protect it better & probably restrict access to the first floor. Too many careless people jumping up & down & endangering themselves and the building. It’s 1400 years old folks, if it collapses, you will get buried under tons of heavy stones.

What an amazingly historic castle in the desert. I really enjoyed my time here. It’s still very well preserved and taken care of. It has lots to see, you can walk inside up and around the buildings. It has lovely artwork that decorates the interior in certain places. It was definitely worth checking out, if you’re into history. I would recommend visiting this lovely castle.

Nice place, impressive view. Can get there by cabin car, 80 Nis. Our taxi driver took us there for 100 Nis(4 people, 25 Nis each), or you can walk up there. Guess it can take 20-30min. Make shure yoh have apropriate dress. No shorts! We were not admited to enter...🤥

Just perfect! Great vibes, nice view. You can get there with the cable car. It is the best option. With the personal drivers it is so expensive. The cable car is a very nice experience, you have good views on the way, it does not take long time and it was not expensive.

One of the oldest churches in the world. You should come and visit it when you come to Jericho.

Worth the trek up the hill and steps to fully appreciate the magnificence of this monastery built into the cliff face.

Temptation mountain or deir Quruntal Quruntal in Latin means 40, refers to number of days that Jesus fasted and then Satan tested him. A monastery was founded in the 6th century. From there, very amazing view for the whole Jericho and Jordan. If you want to visit, contact Palestine tours on facebk

This mountain is on the way from Israel to Egypt. Nearby souvenir shops and supermarkets await visitors.

You can hike it but it will be extremely hard. The best is to park and see it from far away.

This is a special place. The historical significance is enough, but the landscape is also beautiful. The gift shop is rather extensive, with plenty of trinkets and T-shirts and an entire room of Dead Sea lotions and cosmetics. They also have drinks and chocolate.

If you're going in Spring/Summer get there early so the heat isn't that much and the tours aren't crowding the place. It's a very small museum with a small archeological site, but the hike (green trail) has very beautiful scenery and is not so difficult. Getting there on public transport is also quite easy, just take a bus from Jerusalem and you'll be there in 40-50 minutes. Although this is the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls where found, you will not see them here, you need to go to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem for that, where the exhibition is truly amazing.

Really cool and easy to get to on your way to the Dead Sea. The movie at the beginning is little cheesy and I was hoping there was more to learn about the Dead Sea Scrolls themselves, but you can find that at the Israel Museum. Nonetheless, the archeological site is quite amazing and the the whole area is breathtaking. Definitely worth seeing as nd should only be about 45 mins to an hour.

This is where the Dead Sea manuscripts were found, proving that the contents of today's Bible can be verified. Here are the ruins of houses and cities of the Essenes. We can explore this place both through short and long routes. There are also the famous Dead Sea caves. This place has a museum that explains the activities of the Essenes. Dan has a very complete shop, selling souvenirs and typical promised land products, deadsea minerals, cosmetics, spices, jewelry, etc.

Historical site, interesting, the place is very neat and clear. There is an option for voice assistance in different languages. The tour begins with a short video that explains life in the place at that time, and then goes out to the area. If the weather is comfortable, you can climb to the cliff and see the cave itself, as well as an amazing view.(Get plenty of water with you). Beware of the souvenir shop, prices are simply an outrage!!

Beautiful historical site where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered on the same day that Israel was recognized as a nation. Worth the visit. Be careful with the gift shop, watch the price’s because there are similar items for half the price if you look closely.

This place was breathtaking. The vastness was like no other place I've seen. Although there's not much to look at, it's still really cool to see where they found the dead sea scrolls. If you visit, remember to bring lots of water and sunscreen because it is hot! Due to it being the lowest point on earth, which is also pretty cool.

Fntastic experience. I strongly recoment going from the bottom to the top using, not the road, but the stairs. It will give you the opportunity to visit the valley of the kings. At the bottom of the valley, and then to duscover amzing views of old Jeruslem, the wall, the valley, and the miriad of tumbs, step by step. Better if you start your visit at 15:30 or 16:00 so that you can appreciate the sunset from the top.

Such an amazing spot to visit. The views over Jerusalem from the top are incredible. The hike up is steep and takes some time, but is definitely worth it. The views are especially amazing during sunset.

The Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem’s Old City, offers one of the most iconic views of the city. From its slopes, you can see the ancient walls, the Dome of the Rock, and the full sweep of Jerusalem’s layered past. Beyond the view, the Mount is rich in history and culture. It’s been a burial site for over 3,000 years and holds deep significance in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Landmarks like the ancient Jewish cemetery, the Garden of Gethsemane, and several historic churches reflect the area’s central role in the story of Jerusalem. Even for non-religious visitors, walking among the olive trees and centuries-old paths is a powerful experience. The mix of quiet, history, and panoramic beauty makes it one of the city’s most memorable spots. ***Visit early or late in the day for softer light and fewer crowds.

From here you can oversee the entire city of Jerusalem. It's a beautiful spot to be. This view is just incredible and to see the historic places from above is really special. You won't regret it to come to this Place. It has a lot to offer.

The best spot to see the old Jerusalem. The sunset view is amazing. The old jerusalem Panorama is breathtaking. It's a must place to visit. The Church of Ascension is also located here.

This is where you get the iconic photo of old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, just exit from lion gate and walk up the hill. Taxi will cost you about 10 usd but since it is about a half an hour walk I recommend walking. There is also a viewing area specifically for taking the photos

Amazing place to see the Old City from a high point of view. It is really wonderful to see the sunset as the lights start to come on, something which I could call magical. Getting here can be a bit confusing and tiring in the summer, but it's completely worth it.

It was a holyday eve and half of the floor was closed due to cleaning precess. Me and the kids were excited to see the western wall - the only real memorial of the 2,000 years destroyed temple

Visiting the Western Wall was a profoundly moving experience. Standing before its ancient stones, I felt a deep spiritual connection — a sense of holiness, history, and prayer that touched my soul. It was a moment of true inner peace and awe.

The most holy and special place I have ever been to, holy to Jews but also to anyone who wants to connect with our spirituality! It's something in the air that you feel is priceless!

This is the holiest site at which Jews are permitted to pray. In 1925 the Moslem Waqf published a pamphlet that explicitly acknowledged the Kotel as part of Solomon's Temple, declaring "Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute". After Israel's creation in 1948 the so called Palestinians deny any connection of Jews to the site.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me. That was over ten years ago. Last year I came back, now religious, and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to come here and daven on behalf of my friends and family.

The holiest place on Earth. The only remaining wall left standing after the Roman destruction of the second temple built by Herod. It has become the beacon for Judaism for the last 2000 years. Jews as well as all monothiests come here to beseech thier creator. One day soon it will be rebuilt to its proper grandeur

The Kotel is pure holiness — a spiritual place kept beautifully, with water, clean bathrooms, and everything maintained just as such a makom kadosh deserves.

Come here as early as possible: Before 8:00 in the morning. Avoid visiting during 10:00-1400 because this is the most popular time for guide tour. Otherwise, come here after late 18:00. In doing so, separate you Via Dodorosa walk into 2 parts. One part is station 1-7 which is outside church and another station 8-14 in the church. This is possible by 2 day's visit instead of 1. By doing so, you will be rewarded greatly. An empty, serene and sacred church is all for you. No queue, no smoke, no noisy. Reflection at a corner, what a kind of spiritual awakeness. Praise Lord!

Interesting site. Im Christian, not Catholic, so I dont love all the idols everywhere, but beautiful church and historic, no doubt. I also dont know how they know these sites are legit, but its a cool place to see.

Was lucky enough to go with a tour guide and get a full run down of the space - it’s obviously supremely important to many sects and denominations in Christianity and the reverence for that was evident - many people were over come with emotions. As well as pointing out various things to us, the guide pointed out some of the possible over zealous aspects too, saying people had fought over the privilege of clearing the area outside the church (including a fight to the death over whether the bottom step was to be cleaned by one group or another) and a bench occupied by a large man in religious robes who sits there all day, because that is his denominations bench and no others are allowed to sit there. It’s amazing to see the various places where Jesus’ body was placed and buried, but also to see the reaction of people to those things. It’s also one of the areas where you feel tourism hasn’t taken over - quiet reverence in full effect. Make the trip if you ever can

Absolutely beautiful and moving church it was an amazing experience to visit the site of Jesus christs crucifixion and resurrection. The church is vast and awe inspiring please note you will not be allowed to enter the sepulchre with shorts even if they cover you knees. Although this applied to me I was delighted to have visited

A Must-See Spiritual Odyssey at Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem If you’re planning a pilgrimage or simply seeking a profoundly moving historical site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is an absolute must-see. This sacred complex sits at the heart of Jerusalem’s Christian heritage, offering a poignant blend of faith, history, and sacred artistry that stays with you long after you depart. What makes it essential Spiritual significance: Beyond its centuries-old walls, the church holds a central place in Christian pilgrimage, believed to enshrine the sites of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. The aura of reverence and prayer is felt in every corner. Architectural and artistic richness: The church’s mosaics, domes, and iconography reflect a tapestry of artistic traditions from many eras and cultures, creating a living museum of devotion. Historic continuity and ritual: Despite centuries of change, the site remains a dynamic center of liturgy and devotion, with pilgrims and worshippers from around the world sharing in timeless ceremonies. Quiet reflection amid bustle: Amid the crowds, intimate chapels and sacred spaces invite personal prayer, contemplation, and a sense of connection to the continuity of faith. Cultural and historical tapestry: The site intersects with broader histories—Byzantine, Crusader, Ottoman—offering a vivid lens into Jerusalem’s layered past.

Guided and self-guided insights: Knowledgeable guides share historical context, archaeological highlights, and the significance of rituals observed by pilgrims and clergy. Sensory experience: The scent of incense, the glow of candlelight, the echo of whispers and prayers—this is a multi-sensory encounter with faith and history. Practical tips Dress modestly and respectfully in line with local customs for sacred spaces. Plan for crowds and lines: Early morning or late afternoon visits may offer a calmer experience. Carry a small prayer book or notes if you’d like to reflect or journal. Respect photography rules in various chapels and sacred sites. Bottom line The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is more than a landmark—it’s a spiritual pilgrimage, a work of art, and a window into centuries of faith. For believers and curious travelers alike, it’s an essential stop on any Jerusalem itinerary, offering profound moments of reverence, history, and shared humanity.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.

This is the most holy site in Jerusalem. This is the place where our Lord Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb after he was brought down from the cross. The place is usually very crowded. Better be there early in the morning to avoid the rush. The historical structure looks awesome. You can feel the peace and holiness as you enter in. A must visit place.

Save your time with other small museums and go for the biggest, most interesting, and best museum in Israel. Here you’ll see with your own eyes treasures you never imagined existed- incredibly ancient archaeological findings, breathtaking classical art, and beautiful contemporary works.

This is a must destination you can't afford to miss during your stay in Jerusalem. A detail visit will take a full day. You could check many antiquits out according to different history period of Jerusalem. The main difference between Tower of David and here is that many exclusive antitiquits are in display. The Tower of David, on the other hand, is mainly fous on history narrative.

This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

Lovely museum. Highly recommend. I would recommend the museum provide more details for the artifact descriptions and better directions on how to navigate the exhibits as we double backed and got lost a few times.

It was very educational. Raining outside and roof was leaking along the walls when you walk in. You can spend all day here if you’re really into archaeology and history.

This was a highlight of our trip. It's a huge museum with lots of various exhibits with various themes and overall, it's very well done. It is very big though, and directions to certain exhibits weren't as clear as we'd hope so we did waste some time looking around for things as it's not labeled well. With that said, there's a lot to see and learn about. The must see is the Shrine of the Book where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. There are a lot of archaeological artifacts all throughout this massive place and so getting here early in the day is advised so you can see as much as you want without having to rush. When we were there, they had replicas of various old synagogues from different corners of the world and it was very interesting. I could ramble on and on about everything there is to do there, but it's forever changing, so when you know you're going to the area, look up what they have showing and head to those exhibits first. Based on the fact that there's so much to take in and exhibits that change often, this is definitely a place you can come to several times. There's a beautiful gift shop at the exit (of course) and I can't really speak to parking much as we took a taxi there and back, but definitely be sure not to miss out on a visit here when you're in Jerusalem.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.

I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.

Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Absolutely fascinating place. You'll need a booking reservation. This can be completed on arrival, but entry could be delayed. Bags aren't permitted. Free lockers are available downstairs. There is more to the place than you may think. Be sure you have plenty of time. It's definitely worth the time.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

Very informative and attractive museum to understand the WWII and how Jew were killed by Nazi. It’s a sad history showing the loss of humanity in the era of wartime. We need to learn from the history. Need to go the Children Memorial as you will be impressed.

A highly emotional experience. The exhibition is finely thought-out and presented, fully encapsulating the reasons, results and outcome of the Holocaust. The complex also includes several memorials set around the park. Admittance is free, so there is no reason that precludes the curious visitor of visiting the museum. A must-visit when you’re in Jerusalem.

An important place to visit in Israel cause it makes u aware and always reminded of history’s horror during the most unforgettable tragedy in history the Holocaust! U cant take pics here in respect for those men women n children who perished... it was a sad visit n just quietly looking n reading thru stories of what seems like from horror movies of suffering n deaths but there was also stories of courage n strength of faith n hope... my unforgettable visit was short cuz i was alone n late coming ... i only took pics outside the bldg. i would like to visit again n even go to the library... im not a jew but forever loves Israel n the Jewish people!.. much respect n prayers to all victims of this horrific crime n the their families.. may their memories forever be a blessing!.. 🙏

One of the best places to visit in Jordan if not the best, beautiful scenery and very fun, needs a light swimming but there is life jackets. It’s a light hike not very hard the entry fee is around 30 dinars they provide shoes there and a waterproof bags, clean toilets are available and changing rooms but no showers, they sell some snacks too there. A MUST for anyone visiting Jordan

Loved the Siq trail. Not difficult to get through. Definitely recommended. If you plan in advance, i recommend buying water shoes and waterproof bag, it will cost you the same as renting, and the shoes will come in handy for a swim in dead sea, as the salt rocks are really sharp.

Wadi Mujib is an amazing adventure! Beautiful views, fun climbing and swimming, and the canyon is just stunning. Be ready to get wet and wear good shoes. One of the best experiences in Jordan 🇯🇴

Absolutely phenomenal views. Temps were ideal. 65 to 80 F depending on the time of day. Prices were not too bad. 25 to get in and 10 for the watering rental. They do give you a life jacket (a bit stinky from use). There will be a guide at the first waterfall to help you thru till the end. Atleast for me there was a guy. Super helpful. The waterproof bags they give you are good but I would recommend having ziplock bags or a second layer within the bag just incase. I had my own water shoes but little rocks will still get into them. Difficulty is 3/10 to get to the final waterfall. Always use the 3 points of contact system and soft step surfaces before you put your weigh on it. There were places with sharp and about 2 to 3 feet deep points where you foot might get stuck. Definitely will visit again.

Beautiful valley where they let Mother Nature make the route. The Sig trail costs 23JD for foreigners. A bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it! You get a life jacket and you can rent a waterproof bag for 10 JD. Then you’re on your own. We took picture breaks, strolled around and floated with the stream. It took us a little under 2 hours. Just perfect

It was one of the most amazing experiences I had in Jordan! I highly recommend everyone to do this as their 2nd priority in Jordan, after Petra. It's a fairly easy canyoning journey, even for a beginner like me. If you don't have adequate shoes, you can buy them for 10 jod at the entrance and rent a waterproof bag for yourself for another 10 jod. For those not familiar with canyoning, just know that you will get entirely wet at some point so don't come under the assumption that you'll only be partly wet, there are waterfalls and too many amazing swimming opportunities to miss out on. People said it would take 3 hours, but even with many photo stops, it only took us 2 hours. Make sure to try to float on you way back cause it's so fun! 100/10 recommend!

The canyon was closed because it was under maintenance. But the authorities opened it for us to go the ramp and click pictures. It would have been nice if the canyon was accessible as we wanted to do a hike and enjoy the waters. But we look forward to do the hike in our next trip.

In 73 or 74 CE, 960 Jewish zealots – men, women and children – ended there lives on top of the mountain of Masada by the Dead Sea in Israel rather than be captured by the Romans.Masada has been described as "a lozenge-shaped table-mountain" that is "lofty, isolated, and to all appearance impregnable".Historically, the fortress could be reached only by a single pathway that was too narrow for men to walk abreast. This pathway was named "the Snake" for the way it twists and zig-zags to the summit.Masada was named as the place where David rested after fleeing from his father-in-law, King Saul. Flavius Josephus, a Jew born and raised in Jerusalem, is the only historian to provide a detailed account of the First Jewish–Roman War and the only person who recorded what happened on Masada. After being captured during the Siege of Yodfat and then freed by Vespasian, Josephus chronicled the Roman campaign. Josephus presumably based his narration on the field commentaries of the Roman commanders. According to Josephus, Masada was first constructed by the Hasmoneans. Between 37 and 31 BC Herod the Great fortified it as a refuge for himself in the event of a revolt. In 66 AD, at the beginning of the First Jewish–Roman War, a group of Jewish extremists called the Sicarii overcame the Roman garrison of Masada and settled there. The Sicarii were commanded by Eleazar ben Ya'ir, and in 70 AD they were joined by additional Sicarii and their families expelled from Jerusalem by the Jewish population with whom the Sicarii were in conflict. Shortly thereafter, following the Roman siege of Jerusalem and subsequent destruction of the Second Temple, additional members of the Sicarii and many Jewish families fled Jerusalem and settled on the mountaintop, with the Sicarii using it as a refuge and base for raiding the surrounding countryside.[9] According to Josephus, on Passover, the Sicarii raided Ein Gedi, a nearby Jewish settlement, and killed 700 of its inhabitants. Archaeology indicates that the Sicarii modified some of the structures they found at Masada. These include a building that was modified to function as a synagogue. It may in fact have been a synagogue to begin with, although it did not contain a mikvah or the benches found in other early synagogues.[13] It is one of the oldest synagogues in Israel.

Visiting Masada National Park was an awe-inspiring experience that left me deeply moved by the rich history and breathtaking views. One of the highlights was witnessing the awe-inspiring sunrise from the fortress walls. The vibrant colors dancing across the Dead Sea, coupled with the peaceful silence of the desert, created a truly magical atmosphere. It was a moment that will forever be etched in my memory. Exploring the site, we marveled at the well-preserved structures, including the ancient synagogue, bathhouses, and the imposing palaces. The views from the summit were simply breathtaking, offering a breathtaking panorama of the desert landscape and the Dead Sea in the distance. Masada National Park’s commitment to preservation and conservation is evident throughout. The efforts to protect and restore this historical gem are commendable, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate the remarkable heritage that unfolds within these ancient walls. I highly recommend visiting Masada National Park to anyone with an interest in history, nature, or simply seeking a unique and memorable experience. The combination of historical significance, stunning landscapes, and a well-organized visitor experience make it a must-see destination. A trip to Masada National Park is an unforgettable journey that will leave you with a profound appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the natural beauty of the Israeli desert. Don’t miss this gem on your travels!

Wonderful place full of history. It's worth getting an audio guide to enhance the visit and understand what you are looking at. Incredible views. Could not take the footpath to go up because it was closed due to heavy rain fall, but that didn't spoil the visit.

How is it possible that in a UNESCO World Heritage site, there is not even a leaflet or a minimal map in English (in the ticket price + cable car ticket)? Only in Hebrew, obviously for a fee, or some brochures in English at an extra cost... Total disappointment and shame!

One of my favorite National Park in Israel. No trip to Israel is complete without visiting this place. It is filled with so much history with a breathtaking view of the Dead Sea. The best time to visit is sunrise. This is a place that is usually very busy on weekends so it is advisable to schedule your arrival during the week. There are a few ways to get up: 1. Snake path - This is the long path up to the mountain. •Length: The route climbs to a height of 350 meters, and is 2.7 Km long. •Opens for ascent every day one hour before Sunrise and closes for descent one hour before closing time. •On very hot days the Snake Path ascent closes at 09:00AM and the descent closes at 10:00AM. When heat is extreme, the Snake Path ascent closes at 08:00 and the decent closes at 09:00. The descent via the Roman Ramp is open as usual. 2. The Roman ramp path - This is the short path. Starting point: West entrance. •Length: 0.7 Kilometers 3. Cable car - A round trip by cable car will cost 23$. • You need to make a reservation! •Starts working at 8AM!

Great national park to learn about the history of Masada! You can either hike up or take the cable car to the top from the visitor center. Signed placards around the area tell you about the history. There’s also a museum on the premises to learn even more. Also a gift shop and food in the visitor center. Very cool visit!

A visit to the Masada National Park is a must for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a deeper understanding of Jewish history. The combination of its historical significance, archaeological wonders, and stunning natural beauty make it a truly unique destination. Just make sure to plan your visit well, wear comfortable shoes, and bring plenty of water, especially during the hot summer months.

It was my first time riding a camel, but the workers there made me feel really comfortable they were very professional and nice. the camels was well taken care off, and they actually didnt smill wich was impressive😅. we went to a one hour tour it was nice I think one hour is more than enough because after riding the camels fore more then 30 min you will start feealing some pain. the tour guide explaiend to us about the anciet city... how they take care of the camels etc. I went at 17.00 pm the weather was great, the sun not hot but worm and cozy. pleanty of free parking. they have sleaping options but it was expensive.

We had such an incredible time at Negev Camel Ranch in Dimona. We were welcomed with tea and coffee upon arriving. We enjoyed a 1hour private tour with our sweet tour guide Naama. She was so knowledgeable and explained all about the surroundings and the biology of the camels. Out tour was filled with stunning views of the Negev and the friendliest well tempered camels. A once in a lifetime experience. Definitely worth the trip!!!

So special place and very worth to be visiting. At the begining had doubts, bet we had one day (with dinner and breakfast) and 1 hour camel ride: enjoyed every minute of our visit. Camels are taken really good care, it is good to to see how people look after them. And small houses are very cozy. Overal place has really good atmosphere, tasty food and really interesting experience.

We absolutely enjoyed our trip to the Negev Camel Ranch! The trainer who took us out to the desert was very kind and attentive. They take great care of their camels. They educated us on how intelligent and sensitive the camels are. We learned a lot from that 1.5 hour ride into the desert. It was so peaceful. We also enjoyed their delicious tea and had ice cream while waiting for them to prepare the camels. One of the best experiences we had while in Israel. I would recommend it to you as well! My kids were only 5 and 4 at the time. They loved it!

There are many beautiful camels in the south of Israel. But if you didn't reserve time, you can't ride even around ranch.

Cool place. Great for kid. The cabins, restrooms and shower are very clean. You can pet the camels and even get a ride (additional fee)

We only stopped here because Dana wanted to pet some camels. It seems like a great place though to take a camel ride. Prices seem fair, and they also have small rooms for rent. We simply had the camel ice cream and camel milk - this was my first time and I must say the dairy from these animals is under utilized and under appreciated.

Amongst the must-see areas of Israel! Absolutely stunning views, many hiking, 4 by 4 vehicle, and biking trails everywhere! Just be aware of the firing zones of the military.

A stunning spot for stargazing. Even in summer, nights are very cold because it’s in the desert hot during the day but chilly at night, so bring sweaters. Totally worth visiting to watch the shooting stars in August

8.28.17 - We only drove through the crater and that alone was pretty cool. However, the views from the road heading down into the crater from the Israeli side is inspiring. The nature center is very informative and the rangers are relatively nice, but it might take a little bit of effort to warm them up. There are nature trails you can take, but make sure you arrive early enough otherwise it can be a dangerous path where you can fall off the edge or run into a family of goats/rams (something we saw).

Looking like a surreal place from a Science Fiction movie, the Makhtesh Ramon is an extraordinary nature sight in an otherwise quite boring surrounding. You can eather take a stroll along the crater's edge or take a hike through the Makhtesh. Make sure to visit the Infocenter before in order to get hints regarding hiking routes. Also be sure to start early in the morning as it tends to get very hot already before noon.

Beautifu dessert view of Makhtesh Ramon in the Negev, Israel. Very nice colors of nature.A great place for hikers.You can climb the mountains and enjoy the clear air and a fabulous landscape.

Ramon Crater - is a real wonder and one of the most amazing places in Israel. If you like stunning landscapes, silence of the desert, enjoy hiking or biking, starry nights or ... luxury hotels :) - this is it!

As Israel Private Tour Guide this is my favorite 👀 for the Dessert lover's. This is what I shall name as window to Geology. There are many opportunities for hikes long or short ones. Nabatian ruenes. Springs. You also might enjoy over 🌙 camp. Love it.

Small visitors center that has a dual focus. Half the tour is about Ilan Ramon and half about Ramon Crater. It took an hour. Has a gorgeous view and came free with my Israeli Parks membership. It is right at the entrance of the crater. Need to pay for parking.

A short and sweet review of the Ramon crater, how it was created, the darkness it inhabits, which enables stars to shine in the sky, and a tribute to Ilan Ramon, Israel's departed astronaut. Very enjoyable, informative and kids will find it interesting. In addition, there's a restaurant nearby, and parking is rather abundant. Highly recommended.

A very emotional experience to remember the history and to hear Ilan Ramon's last words in the space with his family. And when the video was over and the curtain opened slowly, the entire view of Ramon Crater was unfolded in front of us. What a strong emotional moment! A very unique experience of visiting the Ramon Crater. It's also part of the Matmon network of Israeli Parks Authority. So if you have Matmon, don't miss this place.

Very interesting and cute park Although the staff were rude to me hopefully they will become nicer to tourist when visiting such an interesting place

One of the most beautiful places in earth! However..one of the ropes that are using as a "fence" before the cliff is torn so don't leave the kids by themselves even for a second specially the youngest among them!

Amazing 'Machtesh" views and great exhibits. Loved learning about the crater and Ilan Ramon. Worth a visit! 🌟

An absolutely breathtaking taking setting with spectacular multimedia presentations in multiple venues. We'll worth the effort to get there. Good public makes getting there trivial. We had good accommodations an easy walk from the center.

Amazing landscape, many things to see and trails to hike. Very well kept park. But be ware that you need to manage your own food (have with you there). Many places around close early, especially on Friday.

World oldest copper mine, in the middle of the desert. Plentiful to see, from natural wonders, rock formations, natural arches, to historical sights, such as rock carving, Egyptian temple of Athor and Egyptian underground mines, some of which you can enter and crawl in. You must come by car, there is no public transportation inside the park, but there is a well defined, well kept and made cycling route. The fee covers you for 7 days of entries, and you get a dial in code to enter the park anytime, even during tourist center closing. Do not miss the visit center, spend at keaat 40mns there, the exhibitions are well worth it, and check with the Ranger on site for guidance based on your interests and stamina. Haza was in charge that day, and outstanding guide. Thanks to his pointers we could define a trip easy for our 7 years old, with a lot of small exciting climbs and go to a massive sand dune. Near the lake / restaurant, , there is a coloured sand bottle filling station, great gifts to all visitors. From all around you have wonderful views on Israel, and over the border toward "Palestine" (aka Jordan) Do not forget, this is the desert, closed shoes are mandatory, and bring water, the only refilling station is at the very end, at the lake.

Beautiful nature and cool things to look at. It's just crazy what some rain in a desert can do. The park is well preserved and you can go through by car. You then have to walk just a little bit to get close to the thing. You can also do a bit longer walkings, where you get to see interesting nature. Sometimes, offroad offers you more. Unfortunately, the tabernacle was closed. I don't know if it is always closed or just when we've been there in November. If you can, buy your ticket online. There you get a combination ticket with the Underwater Marine Observatory. We didn't succeed in buying the ticket. And we don't know if it is available for people with a non Israeli credit card or phone number.

The visit made sence, in a weird way. You think you have seen the mountains, and the park seems like a boring extend to the same mountains, but its not! Friendly people, visualization of the ancient story of the place, and much more makes it worth the visit. Much of the park is accessible by car, which makes it possible to visit, even on the hottest days. There is animals if you look in the shade of the lonely trees. I recommend it!☺️

A fantastic experience! our guide, Shay Cohen, was very engaging, and the scenery was breathtaking. Don't miss out on the guided tour by lantern light!

Amazing experience starting at the visitors centre and throughout the park. Well organised, lots to do, lots of interesting places to see with interestinghistory. Great walks short and long. Incredible views and landscapes. Don't miss.

It’s a breathtaking place, a must-have for hiking lovers. Plenty trails at different length and difficulties, it gives a good variety selection. A choice for bike rental is also a good addition if you would like to boost the experience.

Beautiful view of the desert after you scrambled up the mountain! Wear good grip shoes/sandals, take water with you. First stop of the jeep tour from the village so pretty crowded at the base. On the way back to the village, we stopped here again to take a 1/2h camel ride (5jd/per) back to the village. Highly recommend the camel ride, super fun experience and just a right amount of time. The camels are cute and seem to be well-looked after!

Nice views from the spring which itself is just unattractive small water hole. The climb is not easy and descent even more difficult due to big rocks. Take it easy and slow!

The way up and down to the spring is not done trough a single path. You can start from any point and make your way up to the top as you see fit. It is under the sun at all time so plan to take water. It is a rather short climb though steep of about 15 mins. We could easily manage the climb with an 11, 13 and 15 years old. On the top you’ll find a very small spring that resembles a pond and that the Bedouin have tap into to bring water down the valley for the animals.

Make sure you do a multi day visit to wadi rum because this site and the other ocuple ones close to the village are innundated with tourists and not all that much fun. If you can get to the back of the desert you can have similar places all to yourself.

Check the rock with the ancient writings, climb up the mountain (take water). The view is insanely beautiful! Then enjoy Bedouin tea when you get down. This is a regular stop for all tours - Jeep or camel, so later in the morning can become pretty crowded. Highly recommend doing it though! One of the highlights of our tour!

Most jeep tours end here. I didn't think it was worth climbing up and I'm glad I didn't. If you do, I suggest you do so very early.

Beautiful views, short hike up from the foot of the hill over rocky terrain (avoiding the piping!). There's also a rock at the base with petroglyphs for extra perusal.

Wadi Rum may be a desert, but it's far from ordinary. This incredible landscape carries centuries of history — once a vital trade route linking Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. With its dramatic red sands, towering rock formations, and wide-open silence, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression. Entry is free with the Jordan Pass, and once inside, a Jeep tour is a must. I highly recommend the 4-hour tour — it hits all the major highlights, gives you time to sip herbal tea in a local Bedouin village, and includes some adrenaline-pumping rides through the sand dunes. Our driver made the dune drifting part a blast — we couldn’t stop smiling! If you're planning to stay overnight (and you should!), book a tent inside the protected area. Watching the sunset fade into a night full of stars is a surreal experience. Don’t miss the stargazing tour — the desert sky here is unbelievably clear. Dinner is another highlight — a traditional meal slow-cooked underground in the sand for over three hours. The flavor and the experience both are unforgettable. Wadi Rum is more than just a desert — it’s an experience of nature, history, and Bedouin hospitality all in one. Absolutely worth the visit!

A magnificent, unforgettable view where the blue sky meets the orange dunes against the backdrop of majestic mountains. You can ride a jap or a camel, stroll through the dunes, sleep overnight in a tent or a cabin, or admire the starry night sky. I highly recommend it; it's an unforgettable experience.

Wadi Rum is where the Earth pretends to be Mars. It does a pretty convincing job: giant red cliffs, red sand, and silence so thick it hums .. its really, really quiet. Most people stay in one of the many bubble or dome camps, which look like space pods which are scattered all over the desert. These are great, but to really get a feel of the place you’ve got to explore. I hiked up to Burdah Rock Bridge (a 1.5 hour scramble worth every sweaty step) or wander the canyons. If you're staying overnight, one or two nights is perfect: long enough to feel lost in another world, short enough not to get bored.

Best desert experience ever. Amazing natural beauty. If you need to make a choice between Petra and Wadi Run. Best to do Wadi rum safari. Sleeping in a tent is ok. The tent we stayed in was a deluxe tent, more like 1 star. Dinner was good. Breakfast was a total dispointment. It's better to stay somewhere else

Absolutely mind-blowing. This is the desert where the Martian and Dune were filmed and we can see why! Definitely stay for the sunset!

This place can't be more magical! No one visiting Jordan should skip this. The atmosphere, the weather, the view, and everything. It is just magical! We had a couple of hours ride tour. I found it a bit short honestly, but still enough to make sure I am coming again to visit at some point in my life. Highly recommend!!

It was an amazing experience. I don’t know if we were just lucky, but the driver who took us on the jeep tour heard that we were hungry and gathered small dried wood pieces from the sand to make a fire. He baked bread for us, and we had tea. The sunset was incredible.

Pretty good beach but bit of a scam because it says on the website that you can swim with the dolphins but actually you can just put your feet in and not actually swim but it was a pretty beach nonetheless

Excellent spot to come in the morning and spend all day here. Really enjoyed it! The dolphins can be a quest to see but with some patience and luck- you will!

Suchhh a beautifull place to watch dolphinsss, the dolphins are free to wander in the ocean which beautifully symbolized how free they are and just how they love their care takers enough to come back all the time to hang around us! Beuaitufl resort right next to a very aesthethic looking wooden structure with a sight and a bar and places to sit every where on, on the wooden water floating structure u also get great and beautiful ocean views and can see the dolphins in the big circle! Before the wooden structures there's of course a beach u can chill in and just wander around shops and soveniers 💕✨

Very beautiful tourist attraction! We saw 3 dolphins here! It’s about a luck to see them comming from the open sea! Student discount on the entry. Very delicious food in restaurant!

I have very mixed feelings about this place. We do end up here every time we come to Eilat and I like that the dolphins are free to come and go as they please BUT it’s very expensive and crowded. You just catch short glimpses of the dolphins (true it’s because they aren’t penned in which is a good thing). All of the activities cost extra and the prices are extremely high. I dunno, it’s only a so/so experience. We’ve had a much better time at some of the free beaches. The food is typical beach food with typical beach prices although I will say the Greek salad I had for lunch was quite tasty. I guess I would say, this doesn’t need to go on your Must Do list but if you’re out of activities and you need a few hours to kill, this isn’t terrible.

Very nice beach that combines everything. The price a bit high for family but its worth it if you didn't visit there. The food in the restaurant is great and the service is good. The relaxing place inside requires extra price and very expensive I should mention.. The dolphins are amazing and there is explanation in Hebrew and English. Most of the place is shaded and even if it full there's enough chairs and place for everyone:)

Great place, similar to an oasis. I would recommend to come early in the morning if you want to choose a good spot to spend the rest of the day. It gets crowded but there are still a lot of places under the trees to hide from the sun.

Beautiful beach. Very clean. Tidy + with all facilities to enjoy the amazing Red Sea. It is considered a national park. Not for nothing. Once you enter the water, you can swim with some of the most exotic fish +. Once you put your head into the water you see the Wonder of nature underwater. It is very friendly for kids and for families and we could find ourselves spending the whole day from morning till night over there

Although its one of the best places to see corals and fish in Eilat. The site could be a bit more developed. There are not many showers and only one dock to enter the water and relatively small place for swimming. With limited hours of operation and mediocre services this beautiful natural reserve should get an upgrade and the site could invest some of the entrance fee in improvments.

The world northernmost coral reef, really! Right at your foot steps in eilat, Jordan has none. This beach has the advantage of not being overcrowded and all facilities are here, showers, toilets, bar, and a small nature reserve shop and rental services if you forgot your snorkeling equipment. Note, there are no lifeguard, only park rangers, but there is a space by the beach, in shallow water for poor swimmers Plant to bring some water shoes for the beach side. The reef is accessible via a long pier, and a large staircase leading easily to the water. Then it is the wonders of the red sea!

One of the good beaches in Eilat Clean, had toilet, shop, walk route, bridge directly to Red see with excitement view of corals, different fish types It's needed some payment, check possible options before coming there It's better come with your own equipment Pay attention - NO SAFE GUARDS

Our preferred place in Eilat! Every time we are in Eilat we go to this place, the best still and ever. Actually we were there every day, not a problem as we slept at the Yam Suf Hotel, only a 5 minute walk to there. 1. the beach is incredibly looked after 2. The Reserve guards are watching all the time for trespassers so very little chance something bad could happen to you while swimming 3. and of course the corals and the fish. Yes the coral are less beautiful than in the previous years, the mini tsunami a few years ago did damage the reef, but still they are interesting and the fish are till there and still super beautiful. Don't "FOMO" it, would you?

Snorkelling is ok. Nice fish and a bit of coral. If you've been in good reef places, you won't be impressed. But if in Eilat, it's worth a visit but a bit expensive for what it offers.

Great place. Amazing biodiversity, the beach is nice and convenient. The corals are very close, and you can almost touch them (but you shouldn't). If you don't swim it is still nice to look on the fish and corals from the pier. There are lockers with USB charging stations, and the place is very relaxing.

What a great chance to sit and watch fish for hours! Between the underwater observatory and the aquarium we were really pleased with the experience. Go early for quieter viewing without crowds. There was plenty of parking when they first opened.

Good for little kids, probably less for older ones. The place is trying hard to remain relevant. The underwater observetory is a little old and not really that impressive anymore. However you also get an impressive shark pool and some stingray and sea turtles exhibits. The 3d movie was impressive (but short. 18 min total). I've certainly been to better aquariums, but this is decent and good for kids.

A real fun place for kids, but also for the sea animal lovers. We had a guided tour and it was perfect and well explained. I enjoyed every bit of it. I would have enjoyed more if the glasses were a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, it was fun. PS: The 3D movie was cherry on the top

Wonderful. From walking through the lively coral reef to the 3D cinema which is unlike any other I have witnessed. The screen goes above the head so that it can be protected from any point in the room and looks like the whole is above you. This place is a must see for young and old. It is a beautifully maintained park, with a big variety of coral. The underwater observatory is absolutely amazing. The water of the red see is also accommodating the coral beautifully. The aqua dome is also an experience like none other. The whole is turned into a 3D video and it literally feels like you are under the ocean and touching the sea life yourself. Great place to visit, both educational and fun. its really impressive to see all the unique creatures that live in the ocean. dedicate at least several hours to the visit.

This place gets it! It's all about the service and people. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Very clean place. Food was good and fair priced. The exhibits were all well maintained. Especially with children, this is a very nice all day activity.

Fabulous experience! I love that they put effort into the smallest details like trash cans shaped as sharks. The cruise )15 minutes long) is also totally worth it.

We’ve been to aquariums all over the world and this isn’t the glossiest or the most high tech. But my kids love it and beg to come back every time we are in Eilat. There’s lots of different things to do that keep everyone entertained and you cannot beat seeing fish in their actual habitat. We love this charming little place. The 3-D movie was a huge hit!

Nice views and very nice atmosphere. The Staff were very pleasant and we did all activitys during the day and of course we enjoyed karaoke night. Animation team are incredable positive and full of energy. A very nice place to visit. We recommend it do much.

We came with our family. The staff was always attentive to us. The entertainment team, in particular, is fantastic. You won't have a moment to spare. They're all so friendly, respectful, fun, and do their jobs with the utmost quality. There's no chance of boredom here. They also take exceptional care of the kids. You'll regret not coming here when you visit Aqaba.

Definitely a 10/10 experience. The receptionist, Yara I presume, welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know in a respectful and informative way. The resort has a great atmosphere with a lively vibe. The staff are respectful and helpful, the food tasted great, and the whole place is very clean, even the beach. The lifeguard, Rashed I think his name is, was extremely patient and helpful with us. The Discovery Ride is a must. It starts with a nice ride to a sunken ship, then to corals with plenty of visible fish, followed by a sunken C-130 plane, and ends with an hour of snorkeling. Overall, this is a must-try experience for 23 JOD per person.

It was our first experience in this place and we loved it so much. All stuff so friendly and they are so kind. Girls from the bar are so nice, they do really good job. We enjoyed our boat trip with animators . They did our day, from now on we will be here every our vacations and we will recommend this place for sure. Thank you all

Beautiful place with crystal clear water and amazing views of the sea! The staff are super friendly, everything is clean and well organized, and the atmosphere is really relaxing. Great place for swimming, snorkeling, or just chilling by the water. Big thanks for animation team, they rlly made our days here ❤️ We will come back for sure!

From the moment we arrived, Berenice Beach Club offered a flawless blend of relaxation, fun, and warm Jordanian hospitality. The entry fee—around JOD 13 (~US $23)—felt like excellent value for a full day at this expansive seaside retreat    . The beach itself is beautifully maintained, with clear, calm water, pristine sand, and vibrant coral reefs that make snorkeling and diving a must, There are also three lovely pools (one designated for adults), plus comfortable sun beds, towels, and clean changing facilities  . Service here truly stands out. Staff are not only professional, but genuinely friendly and attentive—often going above and beyond to assist with everything from rescuing lost items to ensuring your comfort  . The amenities impressed us as well. You’ll find on-site restaurants, water sports, diving, boat excursions, live music, themed evenings (like bonfires and karaoke), and a lively animation team for games and activities   . Overall, Berenice Beach Club is a standout in Aqaba—clean, well-designed, and brimming with variety. Whether you’re looking to unwind quietly or dive into adventure, it caters to families, couples, and mixed groups with a balanced mix of tranquility and activity. Highly recommended!

We had two fantastic days in Berenice. We found both locals and tourists during our stay, which is a good mix. The resort offers changing rooms, showers, towels, loads of sun beds, and a clean beach. We had drinks and both days lunch and dinner - we liked everything but it is definitely with tourist prices. There is 2x1 drinks from 7pm onwards which is great. Staff is friendly and attentive. We did not try the snoerkeling/diving school, but definitely the corals are better on the South Beach - worth to have a couple of hours there.

Great place in Nuweiba. We took the lamb shoulder, its delicious! Strict rules but the place is so worth visiting! There's an amazing artificial pond for relaxation. Music is nice. The views are breathtaking. It is really recommended if you are in the area. The Margeritas are highly recommended!

Beautiful unique location, amazing staff, and perfect experience. Keep in mind, portions are huge so be sure you are super hungry before you go. We ordered the veal and the salmon. The veal was epic and the salmon was really good.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, the staff were friendly specially Lucy ,and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality and details. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great meal and a relaxing vibe. Will definitely be coming back!

The best experience ever for dining and having a great time in the pond with wonderful view and sauna for healing your muscles and delicious drinks made by Suzy shout out for Suzy she is lovely host with great hospitality I had a great day

A Magical Hidden Gem in Sinai Castle Zaman is truly a breathtaking experience. The scenery is out of this world. Perched above the Red Sea with panoramic views of the mountains and water, it feels like stepping into a serene dream. The atmosphere and ambiance are peaceful, relaxed, and so unique. Soft, calming music plays in the background, adding to the tranquil, magical vibe of the whole place. Every corner is designed with intention. One of my favorite parts was exploring the “dungeon”. It felt like a treasure adventure. Hidden below the castle, it is filled with beautifully handcrafted glasses, plates, bowls, and other unique pieces all for sale. I ordered a slow-cooked veal leg dish. It was served with veggies, molokhya, and roz. Absolutely delicious, and one of the most satisfying meals I have had in Sinai. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and the welcome drink was a lovely touch that made the experience even more special. Even the bathrooms were spotless and beautifully done, with natural materials and no cold metal anywhere in sight. Every detail reflects care, artistry, and harmony with nature. A special thank you to Lucy for her professionalism, kindness, and for making my time there so joyful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique escape with incredible views, authentic food, and peaceful energy. Thank you, Castle Zaman, for an unforgettable day. ✨

It was more then wonderful and the place is mesmerizing. Very clean, very authentic and absolutely professional in their service

A hidden marvel. The monastery opens only for one hour per day and limits the access to the Burning Bush, the church and the well. There's also a collection of old icons but it was closed on the day of our visit. There is also a small shop with icons, candles and so on. We could take pictures everywhere except for the church. Combined with climbing Sinai mountain, the monastery is a one the rare and unique experiences worth doing.

The trip from Sharm el-Sheikh to the monastery was wonderful. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the museum with the icons, which is the most interesting part of the site, was closed, and there was no advance notice. Penso che non sia una cosa corretta, pullman di persone che arrivano e poi trovano il museo con le icone chiuso. We ended up wasting our time there. The monastery and church are beautiful, however.

Amazing experience for mountain hike lovers, we took the camels till the stairs & took 750 stairs up to watch the sine & sunrise while sleeping right under the stars! Mount Sainai Mosses mountain is magical & sacred experience 🤍

A truly spiritual and historic experience." The site of the Burning Bush is incredibly moving. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history or religion

The monastery has its own hotel, restaurant and cafeteria with reasonable prices. The food was OK, sleeping beds were clean. This isn't a 5 star hotel, more of a relaxing experience, try to visit it during summer times as in winter it would be soo cold.

The oldest Christian orthodox monastery in the world. With beautiful history and amazing library. The Bedouins and the monks live with harmony

Visited this Monastery after we completed Moses Mountain hike. The building is truly unique and historical. Located at foothill of Moses Mountain. Amaze upon seeing the burning bush 3000 years old tree. Also the Moses well, you can drink the water too. There is a mosque inside too but not in use. Many old manuscript too. Plenty olive trees surrounding the compound.

A Beautiful and Vibrant Experience This mosque is absolutely breathtaking, a must visit! I had the pleasure of meeting some truly lovely people there, which made the experience even more memorable. There’s also a waterfall like feature nearby that’s perfect for photography lovers! The local market is visually stunning and definitely worth strolling through. However, I’d advise against buying anything at the asking price, many items seemed quite overpriced, so be prepared to negotiate or just browse. At night, the area comes alive with energy. It’s vibrant, full of people, and there are plenty of great spots to eat and enjoy the atmosphere.

Old Market & Al Sahaba Mosque – The heart and soul of Sharm 🕌🌙 I travel to Sharm El Sheikh several times a year with my sister, and every time I come here, it feels magical all over again. Egypt is a country that divides opinions — people either love it or they don’t — but to truly enjoy it, you have to understand that it’s a different culture, with its own rhythm, manners, and traditions. Egyptian people are incredibly warm-hearted, always joking, smiling, and helping with genuine kindness. Bargaining is part of the fun — it’s a cultural game, not a trick. If you don’t play along and end up overpaying, it’s not their fault; it’s just part of the experience. The Old Market, with the Al Sahaba Mosque shining at its center, is absolutely breathtaking. Every time I stop there, it feels like the world stands still for a few moments. The lights, the sounds, the energy — all create a sense of timeless beauty. I love it deeply, and it never stops enchanting me. 💛 — Krisztina 🌊 Sharm Local Guide

A good tourist spot. Amazing pictures and videos with a lot of stores to grab many souvenirs for home. You should negotiate prices as they do make them slightly higher but an enjoyable experience. Best time to go is after 4pm. It does get extremely busy and crowded so please be patient. If you do not like crowded small spaces maybe stay away. There are narrow walkways with a lot to see.

I visited Old Market in Sharm El Sheikh during my vacation and it was an amazing experience. The place is full of life, colors, and authentic local atmosphere. You can find a wide variety of shops, souvenirs, spices, traditional items, and friendly local vendors always ready to help. The restaurants and cafés offer delicious food and a real taste of Egypt. The architecture and the atmosphere in the evening, with lights and music, make it even more special. It’s the perfect spot for shopping, walking, and enjoying the local culture. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sharm El Sheikh! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a nice evening, though we felt quite exhausted by the end as the store owners are very persistent. I understand they're making a living, but would be nicer to be able to pick and choose shops without feeling nagged. It was lovely and clean and you can find a shop for everything. Would return again.

Really enjoyed our evening trip here. Tastefully done, lots of shops, felt completely safe and at ease. Mosque open to visit - closes 10pm

Very touristic place with crowds of foreigners as well as locals. They have all kinds of souvenirs and Arabic stuff with very affordable price. Especially the snorkeling gear, only for 400 or 300. It’s definitely worth it buying here considering even the rental costs 150. The view is also great you can lie down in a cafe on the hill and chill, watching the crowd and enjoy the scenery.

Ras Mohamed Natural Reserve in Egypt is an absolutely fantastic place, filled with an incredible and powerful energy. We were lucky enough to spend the night there in a tent, just a few steps from the sea — truly one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. Falling asleep under a breathtaking starry sky and waking up already surrounded by the wonders of a pristine natural reserve is something magical. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone: it offers deep emotions, a true connection with nature, and memories that will stay with you forever.

Ras Mohamed Natural Reserve was outstanding! Trip organized very well, the guide very helpful to explain everything you asked. There was also the photographer who took unforgettable moments and a specialized guide for the snorkeling moment who helped those who could not swim, as well as pointing out and explaining the various fish. Super recommended!!

Incredible spot for snorkeling and diving. There are tons of corals and marine life. Our guide took us to a spot where there were Nemos hiding among the corals. The sea can be a bit rough, so you a good stamina and breath control. I wouldn’t recommend it for people who are out of shape or not a good swimmer.

For me, this ranks as one of the best places in the world to scubs dive. Beautiful reefs, amazing wrecks and so much sea life.

We left before 8 AM and returned after 6 PM, a very long day, but an amazing experience overall. We stopped at three beautiful islands, each offering stunning scenery. I love snorkeling, so this was the perfect trip for me. We also went scuba diving, which was incredibly exciting and a definite highlight. The only downside was that the excursion took up the entire day, so be prepared for a full-day commitment.

Definitely worth a visit, it's a big area and you will need a car to go around and see the different places, the food was also good.

I have been visiting Ras Mohammed National Park regularly every year since 2023, and it remains one of the most impressive snorkeling sites in the entire Red Sea. During one of my recent trip I joined a boat tour with multiple stops along the reef, and every location offered something different: shallow coral gardens, vibrant walls full of orange anthias and dramatic drop-offs that fall straight into the deep blue. The water clarity is exceptional, and as soon as you enter you can clearly see colourful fish moving right above the corals. Marine life is always abundant here. Even without diving deep I regularly encounter butterflyfish, parrotfish, pufferfish, sergeant majors and many other species swimming very close to the surface. I also enjoy doing short apnea dives along the wall, and visibility remains perfectly clear even at depth, making the area ideal for underwater photography and short videos. Facilities inside the protected area are intentionally minimal, so it’s essential to bring plenty of water, sun protection and especially a rash guard. The sun is extremely strong and you can burn quickly, even during short sessions in the water. Mobile signal is weak, but the natural beauty fully compensates. Ras Mohammed remains a must-visit every time I return to Sharm — a genuinely pristine Red Sea experience that never disappoints.
