Why Bangladeshis Visit Jordan
Jordan compresses an extraordinary range of experiences into a small country — the rock-cut city of Petra, floating in the Dead Sea, and camping under the stars in Wadi Rum's desert — all with a straightforward visa-on-arrival process.
জর্ডান একটি ছোট দেশের মধ্যে অসাধারণ বৈচিত্র্য ধারণ করে — পেট্রার পাথর-কাটা শহর, মৃত সাগরে ভাসা এবং ওয়াদি রামের মরুভূমিতে তাঁবুতে রাত কাটানো।
Petra deserves at least two full days — the site is vast, and rushing through in a single afternoon means missing the Monastery hike and Petra by Night experience.
পেট্রার জন্য কমপক্ষে দুই দিন প্রয়োজন — সাইটটি বিশাল।
