This.

We went 20+ years ago and spent probably 20 minutes in front of the treasury taking pictures and admiring it, then a lot more time exploring the rest. The amphitheater they have carved into the rock was really cool. Petra is a lot more than just the treasury - 100% agree.

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

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

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