King’s Highway
Amman, Jordan


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.
