2025 Shobak Qasabah District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Shawbak in Jordan is a hidden gem, offering both history and natural beauty. The highlight is its famous castle, standing proudly with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The castle itself is a must-see, with its ancient walls and rich history. 🏰🌄 What’s even more unique about Shawbak is its quirky car—an old Volkswagen Beetle, recognized as the smallest hotel in the world! While I didn’t stay there, I opted for another iconic place to rest: a hotel where the rooms are curved, offering a fascinating design that faces the castle. The combination of history, stunning views, and unique accommodations makes Shawbak a truly unforgettable destination in Jordan. ✨🗻 If you’re in Jordan, Shawbak is an essential stop! #celebrateit

📍Bubble Luxotel Petra: Little Petra, Al-Baydha Petra, Jordan ▫️The entrance has double doors. You need to close the first door properly before opening the second one to prevent the bubble from collapsing. ▫️The best part of this accommodation is that you can lie in bed and gaze at the stars in the desert. ▫️Jordan's autumn and winter can be quite cold, making it a unique experience to enjoy a jacuzzi in the desert during these seasons. ▫️During the day, the strong sunlight is blocked by shades, and at night, the shades are removed so you can look outside from anywhere in the room. All rooms face the same direction, and the back of the rooms is opaque for privacy. ▫️The bathroom is located behind the sink area, and it seems there was no separate door. ▫️You might encounter some cats along the way. ▫️It's also recommended to visit Little Petra nearby. It's less crowded than Petra and has a lot to see. Thinking now... Did I really take so few photos of such a beautiful place? 🤭

Bubble Hotel, sleep on Mars tonight💫 This is Petra Bubble Luxotel, Jordan One of Omnat's Bucket list accommodations With a view of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World And there is probably no other place where you can lie down and look up at the sky See millions of stars and enjoy yourself until you fall asleep No need to take a spaceship to go anywhere The unusual landscape, mountains shaped like imagination on Mars And the sunset that Om thinks is the most beautiful in my life Believe me..you have to come once, it's really beautiful! 8,000-10,000 per night (depending on the period) 🧡Things I like and am impressed with •Worth the view and atmosphere, breakfast, dinner, complete amenities in the room •There is a small secret camp, a surprise for those who like Shi-sha (baraku) with live Arabian music, haha •The jacuzzi is very good (the temperature is set and ready to soak in the cold weather) •Clean, considered the cleanest, the most luxurious in this area •For those who like to watch stars, I give it a 10 out of 10. At night, get ready to be excited because millions of stars are ready to be served to your bed. •The manager took such good care of me. He kept asking if I liked it, what I didn't like, and if I was happy. Very good. 🧐 Things I don't like (I'm trying to find the disadvantages) •The water is a bit light (but I understand that it's on a mountain). •Breakfast has few options / Dinner is okay, but if I don't eat meat, it might not be to my liking (bring instant noodles, porridge, Maggi, and chili paste to add to it). •That's all the disadvantages I can squeeze out. Haha #hotelreview #bubblehotel #travel

Petra Jordan , a very unique destination. I grew up watching it in many movies… Indiana Jones , transformer … But seeing it with ur own very eyes is totally different. What’s can I say it’s worth just to travel thousand of miles just to be there to withness this amazing ancient architecture. Well going tru the whole place really need 2-3 days and lots of physical fitness and stamina though. ( nothing more than 3-4 days ) I choose Petra bubble as my accommodation , is not the nearest to the historical entrance actually is abit far approximately 10mins drive distance but I simply love the photo opportunity and the feeling of soaking in the horizon after a long walking day at the site . #Petra #Jordan

Located along the famous King’s Highway, perched atop a mountain, the Shobak Castle is a testament to Jordan's rich history. Built in 1115 under the rule of King Baldwin I, this castle is a striking monument in the desert, making visitors feel a world away from home The castle was built as a form of defense and withstood many battles until it was defeated in 1189 by the first sultan of Egypt and Syria. In the 14th Century, the castle was taken over by the Mamluks, Muslim soldiers. The castle grounds are home to churches, historic ruins, and a secret passageway that leads to a charming spring. The castle also boasts a watchtower, catacombs, and a number of Christian carvings and Islamic tablets. Despite being in ruins, Shobak Castle has been well preserved and visitors will find some interesting artifacts. #christmastrip
