Bible stories, lost cities, Lawrence of Arabia - Jordan has romantic associations up to its eyeballs. It's a country that ought to be awash with tourists, but the Middle East's bad reputation has kept them away in droves. Don't be fooled: Jordan is, on the whole, peaceful.
More than that, it's one of the most welcoming, hospitable countries in the world. Where else could you leave your belongings on the street for hours at a time, and find them there when you get back? Where else do total strangers with nothing to sell invite you into their homes?

After a wonderful time in Petra which was much nicer then I could even expect its time to leave Wadi Musa. My original plan was to go directly to Amman and have a chill out day, food and relax but in the hotel I noticed a way to take a bus to Kerak Castle ... Read more >

Rise and Shine at 6 in the morning. Only had a few hours of sleep because I slept extra during the day yesterday to recover from the travel or maybe it was just from being excited about what this day had to offer! I ordered breakfast the day before and ... Read more >

WE DIDN’T DAWDLE TODAY IN THE SIQ and quickly squeezed by a couple of tour groups. We have walked here, where Indiana Jones rode in The Last Crusade, half a dozen times and are almost immune to the views. Except for the first sighting ... Read more >
