JordanNewest Review: ... twenty stone men up to the monastery - with the overweight men being held in place by young Jordanian males otherwise they would have fallen off the donkey. Shame they didn't let them! After one full day travelling and a full day at Petra we were exhausted so were delighted the have the next day free to relax by the hotel pool restoring ourselves for our evening walk to Petra by Night with ... more |

I Looked Over Jordan and What Did I See..? I wrote my review about Jordan yesterday the 9th November. We returned back to the UK from Jordan one week ago. The news this morning, the 10th November, informing us of the suicide terrorist bombing in Amman has saddened me enormously but I decided to publish my experiences of a wonderful week in a beautiful country in spite of this.

I agree with other opinions about Jordan, in that there is a lot more ot see than just Petra. "Just" Petra is a bit harsh, since it ranks alonside the most amazing places I have ever visited and warrants at least a full day. But Jordan in general makes a very good week to ten day trip. Staying longer might let you get to know the place much better, but for a purely tourist visit, a week to ten days is fine. Here's the itinerary I did and it was very easy, quite relaxing indeed. Day 1 Look around Amman - Roman remains etc and hire your car. Day 2 Drive to Jerash early. Touring the Roman city takes most of a day, but there's ...
