Jordan What to Expect

ITS AMAZING!!!!! Make sure you see the Temple of Artimus. A tour guide really helps get you to the places you should see, but some people in the ruins will begin to give you a tour expecting money at the end. Many times these "tour guides" are children, and the tours are illegal because they aren't certified tour guides and the tourist police will kick them out.

If you visit the Dead Sea, bring water shoes with as the beach is quite rocky. Your feet will thank you!

Jordan is a predominantly Muslim country so conservative dress is a must. For the city days, I opted for jeans, comfortable shoes, and long-sleeve shirts. Once we were in places like Petra and Wadi Rum, I opted for workout clothing and athletic shoes.

Amman is a surprisingly hilly city! Expect to climb some serious staircases to get between places. My Cole Haan ballet flats did the job. Style and comfort!

If you are super hungry at a meal, opt for the mezze (salad, bread, and assorted dips) course as well as an entree. If you’re looking for lighter fare, you can easily make a meal out of the mezze!

If you are looking for a change in meals, check out the "China" restaurant in Aqaba for delicious Chinese food. It is a little hard to find but use the post office as a reference and then look for a large blue awning across the street called "Aqaba Gallery". Immediately to the left of it is a small red awning with the China restaurant logo. Take the staircase up a few flights to the restaurant. Great meat and vegetarian options and full bar.
