<p>You could easily lose yourself—both literally and figuratively—in the endless red sand and towering rock skyscrapers of Wadi Rum. This majestic place, known to even the Greeks and the Romans, has been inhabited for thousands of years and is unlike any other place on Earth. The unique landscape has been featured in a handful of Hollywood movies, for example <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_of_Arabia_(film)"><em>Lawrence of Arabia</em></a> and <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martian_(film)"><em>The Martian</em></a>.</p>

<p>Jordan’s Dead Sea coast is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Amman. If you’re looking for something a little more wholesome and minimalistic—not to mention cheaper—than an elegant five-star resort, look no further than <ahref="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan’s</a> chalets at Wadi Mujib.</p>

<p><ahref="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> has an ingenious day trip where you pay <em>them</em> to take <em>you</em> to pick olives on a farm in Ajloun—the family who owns the farm even comes out to watch you and give you tips!Like I said: genius. Jokes aside, it was actually a lot of fun, and the point is to educate you about the olive harvest and its importance to people in the region.</p>
