When thinking about your next holiday destination, star gazing isn’t necessarily part of the activity list. However, nowadays you would be surprised to find out that more and more tour operators put together packages with star gazing at the heart of the trip.
In our region, Jordan is THE country to visit when it comes to enjoying the night sky. So think about it for your next trip, and make sure to make it a key “thing to do” on your list. To make it easier for you, here are a few of the top addresses to enjoy star gazing in beautiful Jordan.
The largest wadi in Jordan, Wadi Rum is also Jordan’s 4th UNESCO World Heritage site. It is reputed for being home to some very high-end luxury camping retreats. For the ultimate glamping experience check out the Full of Stars Hotel (http://www.wadirumnight.com/room/full-of-stars/), sleep in a giant bubble room to have the perfect view of the starlit sky.
Set way out in the middle of the desert in the Dana reserve, this eco-hotel stands out by its dedication to creating a high-quality retreat while respecting the environment (the whole lodge is lit by candles, the food served is vegetarian, the lodge’s decorations were handcrafted by local artisans and the list of eco-friendly initiatives goes on). At night, the lodge’s guides are available to teach visitors about the stars they are gazing at while enjoying dinner under a canopy.
The Ma’in Hot Springs are a series of hot mineral springs and waterfalls located between Madaba and the Dead Sea in Madaba Governorate. The waterfalls are lit and accessible at night. Stargazing while enjoying the natural hot water source, need I say more?
DANA is Jordan’s largest & most diverse nature reserve. In the past 20 years, the reserve received several awards for its success is preserving the biodiversity on site. A couple of hotels are available in the village with impressive views over of the canyon, making it another amazing stargazing spot.
