Cheap Flights To Jordan From Australia

There are few more enduring sights of the Middle East than the image of rock-carved Petra – the 2,500-year-old erstwhile capital of the Nabataeans – emerging from the ochre-tinted canyons of Jabal Al-Madbah. But there's also much more to this amazing country than it's star attraction. From the camel-stalked sand hills of the Wadi Rum where Lawrence of Arabia once traveled to the scuba-diving centers and beaches on the Gulf of Aqaba, there's loads to get through. Getting great deals on cheap flights to Jordan from Australia usually means making a stopover along the way, with the most likely arrival point being the bustling capital of Amman, where Roman temples sit in harmony with modern mezze cafes.
