Last week, love was in the air, and many Jordanians spent their Valentine’s Day with their loved ones.
From enjoying a sunset dinner at the lowest point on earth to partaking in a Valentine’s-themed yoga event, many Jordanians enjoyed an array of love-filled celebrations with those they cherish most.
Here is a roundup of some the activities that took place in Jordan for the holiday of love.
Celebrating Love by the Red Sea
Mama Gaia, Jordan’s port city of Aqaba’s newest and coolest beach club, hosted a Sardinian-inspired fine dining dinner experience where each dish was paired with wines and cocktails, right by the waters of the Red Sea. Throughout the year, Aqaba boasts clear skies and abundant sunshine, making it a top destination to visit, especially during the cooler months.

Sunset Dinners at the Dead Sea
While February is usually a cold and rainy month in Jordan, the Dead Sea, located at the lowest point on earth and only a 40-minute drive from Amman, remains warm year-round, and this year was without exception. Many Jordanians spent the weekend at one of the Dead Sea hotels such as the Kempinski Hotel, and enjoyed a sunset dinner overlooking the beautiful view.
