Top Winter Destinations In The World

Winter is coming! Make these upcoming winter vacations filled with experiences of a lifetime. Here are a few of the top winter destinations in the world!

Petra, Jordan

“The red-rose city half as old as time”, described in the poem by John William Burgon is a city rising out of a cliff between the Red and Dead Sea. The lost city of Petra, one of the top winter destinations in the world, still has secrets to reveal. Tombs and carved structures dot its sandy landscape. Agatha Christie wrote her famous “Appointment with death” based on Petra. Several scenes from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were filmed here. Visiting Petra during the winter gives the sandstone a much more distinct colour variation. (India is also rich in sandstone and beautiful architecture, read here) Walking through the narrow canyon of the Siq, its towering water-cut, pink rock walls cut off all but a sliver of sky, enclosing you in utter silence and beauty. Extraordinary!
