Unbeatable outdoor adventures, urban thrills, soulsatisfying food and dreamatic landscapes: just a few of the surprises you can expect from Indiana’s playground
TO DO LIST
PETRA
Exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site is a no-brainer, with a day at the 7,000 yearold archaeological city and world wonder at the top of most keen travellers’ must-see lists. The twists and turns of the Siq gorge and the grand reveal of the towering AlKhazneh treasury at the end of the kilometre-long rock tunnel makes for a breathtaking moment. Excavation work is still on-going at the ancient site, with a rediscovered buried monument the size of an Olympic swimming pool next in line to be uncovered.
TOP TIP: While it’s a bit of a hike, it’s well worth taking the time to climb the 800 steps up the pink cliffside to take in the tranquil monastery, an equally impressive monument minus the crowds found below.

DESERT TREK
Board a camel for a traditional trek or pile into a vintage open-top Jeep for a ride through Wadi Rum’s striking landscape – all 720 square kilometres of it. There’s plenty of history to be uncovered in the secret caves, with clearly visible engravings dating back thousands of years capturing an ancient nomadic culture.
The more adventurous can glide down the red sands, with a dedicated dune known for its impressive slope.
TOP TIP: Consider hiring a guide from the official visitor’s centre. They know all the best spots for striking photo opps, and will save the suspension on your rental car.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
