EGYPT & JORDAN | Ep2: Solo Backpacking Jordan

Solo backpacking through Jordan in the second leg of my month long trip as I travel through Egypt & Jordan. I’ll be visiting Amman, the Dead Sea, Jerash, the Kings Highway, Karak, Petra and Wadi Rum. Egypt & Jordan are undoubtedly on most people's travel bucket lists, but I've always had the impression that the majority of people travel there on an organised tour. So I wanted to give it a go by myself and see what it was like treating it like a normal backpacking trip, staying at hostel and booking everything on the go. This second episode sees my journey continue as I head into Jordan for 10 days. Starting out in Amman, I did day trips to the Dead Sea, Mt Nebo, Madaba, Umm Qays, Aljoun and Jerash. Then I travelled south along the Kings Highway passed Karak, Dana Reserve and Shobak before arriving in Wadi Musa to see the ancient ruins of Petra, featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Finally I head to Wadi Rum, the stunningly beautiful desert that’s been used in countless movies from Lawrence of Arabia to the Martian, and even Star Wars Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker.
