Jordan: Aqaba, As Salţ and Zarqa + 1 more

A road trip through Aqaba, As Salţ and Zarqa + 1 more, 4 stops in Jordan.

Aqaba is Jordan's only coastal city, sitting at the southern tip of the country where the Red Sea meets the land. As Salţ is a UNESCO World Heritage city in Jordan, positioned on a hilltop roughly 22 kilometres from the capital. Zarqa is Jordan's second-largest city, lying just under 19 kilometres from the capital. Irbid is Jordan's second-largest city, a regional hub in the north with a population of over half a million.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Aqaba, As Salţ and Zarqa and more into a single trip, so you see more of Jordan in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
