Jordan

We spent just under a week in Jordan in 2007, flying in to the capital Amman (see map). A local travel agent helped arrange all accommodation and provided a car and a driver/guide - a lovely way to see this small country. We visited the great Roman city of Jerash# in the North, before travelling to the Dead Sea for the obligatory dip. Then to Mount Nebo and Madaba and along the King's Highway via the Crusader fortresses of Kerak and Montreal# (Shaubak). Of course the Nabataean city of Petra* was the highlight and it certainly didn't disappoint. Please excuse the photos - taken on a very basic compact digital camera! A beautiful and historic country with lovely people! (* = UNESCO World Heritage Site, # = tentative)
