The "Dream Destinations" list cited the
spectacular rock-carved ancient city of Petra and said that despite the fallout
of the pandemic, "visitors will surely return to this gem". Stressing
that there are opportunities to explore Jordan more sustainably, the authors
said other archaeological treasures, like the ruins of
Jerash and
Umm Qais
deserve to be seen.
The list also highlighted the vast expanse of the Wadi
Rum desert, which it said "best enjoyed with Bedouin guides who can share
their knowledge of working in harmony with the epic landscape".
Also, the list called on travelers to pay a trip for a
salty float in the Dead Sea.
Jordan was named alongside Antigua and Barbuda;
Bissagos Islands, Guinea-Bissau; Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; Chile; Colombo;
Dijon, France; Disko Bay, Greenland; Gabon National Parks; Lahti, Finland; and
Australia's Munga-Thirri-Simpson Desert.
Others in the list included Naples, Italy;
Ollantaytambo, Peru; Orkney Island, the United Kingdom; Oslo Beach, South
Africa; St Eustatius, the Netherlands; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Valencia, Spain; and
the US' Yellowstone National Park.
