3 full days in Jordan - What should we do?

CB travel gurus!

I am traveling with my family to Jordan over Thanksgiving. We will be there for three full days, staying in Amman, but happy to venture outside (but can't go to Israel). We are definitely headed to Petra, does anybody have a guide and driver they would recommend?

Other thoughts on an itinerary? Thanks!

Jerash is really cool too if you have time and the Roman ruins in Amman. Petra

I second this. I thought the Roman ruins in Jerash were amazing and small crowds

A Wadi Rum tour is the other thing to consider doing

Was Wadi Rum a full day?

I'd schedule one full day

Why?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

10/18/21 4:43pm

Because Jordan = Gaza. Or something?

10/18/21 4:44pm

nah. it's not like that

Cougarclaw

10/18/21 4:53pm

Yeah, I'm not worried at all. Compared to places I've been in Africa and SW Asia

What's the best way to get around that won't break the bank?

I'd go rental car

If you do, make sure to take the insurance. It will be scraped up.

Did you get a car service from the airport to your hotel or something else?

Careem/Uber

something you may not know about petra, there's quite a bit to see once you get

As I dig into this, I am wishing I had more than three days.

It is not worth the extra money.

It's free to walk through if you accidentally stay too long

Go see the "Thieves' Market" in downtown. Underground market place. It is not
