King’s Highway

King’s Highway is one of the oldest continuous routes in the world, stretching from the northern city of Amman to Aqaba on the Red Sea. This ancient road, once a vital trade route through the biblical lands, showcases stunning landscapes ranging from rocky hills to lush valleys, punctuated with archaeological sites and charming villages. Driving the highway offers a unique glimpse into Jordan's history and diverse geography. Stop at places like Madaba for its famous mosaics and Mount Nebo for its panoramic views. Plan for a leisurely day to fully appreciate the scenery and the cultural richness along the route. The quiet beauty of the Transjordan plateau is striking, especially in early morning light.
