Dead Sea day trips
Float in the lowest point on Earth, cover yourself in mineral-rich mud, and wash it off. Day-trip resorts from Amman are common. Bring water shoes — the salt crystals are sharp.
☀️ Weekend culture in Jordan
Weekends in Jordan have their own rhythm. Markets, day trips, sport, religion or rest — what people in Jordan actually do on their days off says a lot about the culture.
In Jordan, weekend culture comes down to a few things: dead sea day trips, wadi adventures, and amman café culture.
Wadi adventures
Wadi Rum desert camping, Wadi Mujib canyoning, and Dana Nature Reserve hiking. Jordan's landscapes are dramatic and accessible for weekend trips.
Amman café culture
Rainbow Street and Jabal Al-Weibdeh neighborhoods have cafés, galleries, and hookah bars. Friday evening socializing over tea and arguileh (water pipe) is the weekly ritual.
