Not far from Amman you have the Dead Sea which is well worth a visit. After a day of sightseeing in the region (Madaba or Mt Nebo in the South, Salt to the West or Jerash and Ajloun in the North, the lowest place on earth is a good place to relax. Experience the bisarre feeling of floating, but don't drink the water... ;)

It is possible to cross the border between Israel and Jordan in AQABAH. From there it is possible to go by bus to PETRA.

One of the molst beautiful site I've ever seen. Don't hesitate to go of track and climb. You could easily spend several days in the site, and come back as new items are found regularly.

Een stad in het Midden-oost: bruisend, lawaaierig, vreemde geuren. Hier en daar wat Romeinse overblijfselen. Amman is eigenlijk te groot, om Jordanië echt te ontdekken moet je het binnenland in of enkele kleinere stadjes bezoeken. Passeer dan ook eens langs de Rode Zee. Grote Westerse Hotels genoeg in aanbieding.

Jordanian people are so friendly and welcoming. We spent hours walking around seeing the ancient ruins. We left here and moved on to Petra.

A rather crowded and messy city by itself but a very convenient base for attractions not just in Jordan but also in nearby Syria, Lebanon and Israel... and a major air hub for Middle East... a swim in the Dead Sea is possible from the Jordanian side too (the Israeli side is more famous) if you take a cab from Amman and ask the driver to take you to it...shared cabs are a good option in Amman for heading to Lebanon or Syria...

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.

Just see it twice: day and sunset! The view will impress you!

The landscape is extraordinary! Make sure to hike in Dana reserved region. People are very friendly. Wear modest and remember ... in Rome do as Romans do.

Wadi Rum is a fabulous place to travel through. It has huge rock formations that look prehistoric. If you are into unusual landscapes, then this place is for you. You can drive around it in a 4X4 for a great experience.
