22 Affordable Destinations That Feel Like Luxury Without the Price Tag
17. Amman, Jordan
Jordan is often seen as a gateway to Petra, but Amman itself offers a refined and affordable Middle Eastern escape. Stay in a high-end hotel in Abdoun or Jabal Amman, where rooftop lounges overlook sandstone hills and the call to prayer echoes at sunset. The city blends ancient ruins with chic cafes, art galleries, and hammams. Visit the Roman amphitheater, dine in gourmet Levantine restaurants, or take a luxury day trip to the Dead Sea, where upscale spa resorts offer mud treatments and infinity pools. It’s one of the most culturally rich and luxurious destinations in the region—without Dubai’s price tag.
