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

I'd schedule one full day

Why?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

10/18/21 4:43pm

Because Jordan = Gaza. Or something?

LiveCoug

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.

It is not worth the extra money.
