where to go :

aqaba :very good for scuba diving and other water activity. Not hawaii or miami but corals underwater are amazing. they don't call it red sea for nothing. Besides that it is dead unless ur going with other ppl.

wadi rum : beautiful pink desert.

petra : enough said

the falls of ma'an : hot spring water

Dead sea : enough said

Amman :
I love the old souk or what some refer to as al balad ( downtown) . I love the traditional stores with the mountains in back . Also don't forget the roman theatre which is there and right in front of it the castle on teh mountain ( I did not see it)

Jarash: roman city with a good amount of ruins : homes, 2 roman theatres, streets and pillars, and other.


This is all I know considering that I have been there only once in the last 12 years .

that was useful you guys.....thanks alot...............i am off to Jordan in 10 days.........looking forward to it

[ahmad.oustwani]

Guys I would really appreciate a fast response on this………….moving from Amman...is it possible to do dead sea and Petra at the same day………if so how and how far is Petra from the dead sea….and what to do first……I think Petra would be better to do first as you get wet and really lazy at the dead sea…….......merci kteeeeeerrrrrrrr

only if you plan to pass by the dead sea quickly on your way to petra as it takes around 2-3 hours to reach from Amman and it may take the rest of the day to explore. Distance to Dead sea ~50km, Amman to Petra ~250 km (approximate) enjoy your time

[ahmad.oustwani]

hmmmmmm.........quickly pass by the dead see........i dont think this would work..........okay.mmmmmmmm........damn it..........i dont have time...thats the main problem wo haram to go all the way to Jordan and not the dead see..........i'll figure this out....thanks anyways........any more advices maybe anyone....?

[metal gear]

actually the dead sea is so near to amman its practicaly amman's beach.............but petra is another story..........u need a day to enjoy it.....and as i said ,add nearby dhana and wadi rum, spend night time there and u will never forget the experience...........all it takes is prior preparing of the trip. see tourist agents near u first..............btw all those places are at thier best during spring time ,and the climate would be just beatifull

[ahmad.oustwani]

in fact i al already planning to visit dhana and wadi rum as i am attending the distant heat event you are are hosting on the 26th till the 28th.........however, i am considering Petra and the dead sea.....so, if the dead sea is near by Amman....then i think i got my plan on track.........i would post pics of my first Jordanian trip on this forum when i get back and yeah will tell you guys all about it...........thanks yo guys....you've been helpful....be well
