What our travelers think about their stay

The departure point for a journey to Jordan: Amman.

My suggestion

Be careful with the opening hours of the sights that you visit: they often close very early.

My suggestion

As capital cities go, Amman is pretty pleasant, but I would still prefer staying near the sights, rather than in the city itself. I recommend Jerash for visits to the north, and Madaba for the south.

Jerash's archaeological wonders

Would you like to explore the superb archaeological site at Jerash? Here is some information about it.

Kerak, the crusaders' stronghold

On the Road of the King, between Madaba and Petra, the imposing castle of Kerak stands proudly. Whether you're a history buff or just have a tourist's curiosity, you will no doubt be impressed by the feeling of power that the castle exudes; it's clear that this was once the stronghold of the 12th Century crusaders.
