That's right, the media mogul herself, Oprah Winfrey, recently made a trip to the ancient city of Petra. She took to her Instagram to post a series of photos showcasing her adventure. From cool selfies with camels to Farwa photos, she showed us all the cool things she has been up to. Jordan is a land of ancient history and breathtaking natural beauty, and Oprah wanted to experience it all.
Jordan’s rich history dates back to ancient times, with historical sites such as Petra, Jerash, and the Dead Sea, to name a few. Oprah was excited to explore all of these iconic places and learn more about the country's culture. Flanked by her long-time bestie, Gayle joined her on the trip as well.
Another destination that Oprah and Gayle visited was the Dead Sea, a salt lake located on the Jordan Rift Valley. The Dead Sea is famous for being the lowest point on earth, and it is renowned for its therapeutic properties. Gayle indulged in a mud bath and enjoyed floating in the sea's salty waters, while Oprah watched from afar under an umbrella!
Throughout their journey, Oprah and Gayle immersed themselves in Jordan's rich culture, visiting local markets and sampling traditional cuisine. Oprah was impressed by the hospitality of the Jordanian people and their warmth and kindness.
The pairs also made a stop at the Jabal Al-Qalaa fortress, an ancient castle that sits atop a hill overlooking Amman, the capital of Jordan. The castle dates back to the Roman period, and it has been restored and preserved as a historical landmark. Oprah and Gayle marveled at the castle's impressive architecture and enjoyed the stunning views of the city below.
In her own words, Oprah marveled at the beauty of the country while making a bid for everyone to visit, “Visited Jordan this week and there was so much to see and experience! It takes 3 days to really see it all we only spent 3 hours. Put it on your must see list if you haven’t already!”
Who’s booking their tickets to Jordan ASAP?
