Where were you going to in Jordan that you drove past Petra without realizing it? There isn't much in the way of tourist attractions in that area of Jordan except for Petra.

And it's not a city, just a small town in the middle of the Swiss Alps, but the Lauterbrunnen Valley is absolutely gorgeous. If you Google it and look at the images you'll see what I mean.

Mexico City is utterly amazing, the rival of any European city, and much more affordable and accessible for those of us in the USA.
Honorable mention to La Paz, Bolivia, one of the most interesting places I've ever been.
Collioure, France is one my favorite places in Europe. Also Atrani, Italy.
Not much into big European places like London, Paris, etc. YMMV.
Oakland is actually pretty awesome unless you happen to be racist, and my spider sense is tingling based on the tone of your post. The locals would smell that out in a hurry.
Surprised haven’t seen more mention of Sydney. Has a lot to offer.
