Drama Travel Spots: Jinn

Jinn is a 2019 Netflix Jordanian drama with some very ancient travel spots. Probably the oldest I’ve ever written about here (and probably will write about too).

Petra

Petra was originally known as Raqmu by its inhabitants. It is located in southern Jordan and believed to be settled as early as 9,000 B.C. In the 4th century, it was established as the capital and reign by the Nabatean Kingdom. The city also has the nickname of Rose City because of the color of the sandstone rocks, which the city is carved. Petra is identified as UNESCO world Heritage Site since 1985 and is also one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. On top of all that Jordan’s most visited tourist attraction.

Siq

The Siq is a dim and narrow gorge that is the entrance to the city of Petra. The path is about .75 miles (1.2 km) and leads to next location.

Al-Khazneh

Al-Khazneh translates into “the treasury.” It is one of the most elaborate structures in Petra and is believed to be the Mausoleum of the Nabatean King Aretas IV. The structure has also been in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It is one of the most popular tourist attraction in Jordan and the region. For more information about visiting, click here.

This Skull Cave

Well I’m not entirely sure where in Petra this is located, but it is in the drama.

Here’s a documentary about the city

Amman

Amman is the capital and the most populous city in Jordan. It is located in North-central Jordan. It was initially built on 7 hills (which must be why the school in Jinn is called Seven Hills Academy), but now spans 27 hills.

The history of the city dates back to the stone age (about 9 millennia old). It also has one of the oldest neolithic settlements (6,500 B.C.) ever to be discovered in the middle east. Here’s 99 things you can do in the city.
