The Rough Guide to Jordan: Travel Guide with eBook - (Rough Guides Main) 8th Edition by Rough Guides & Owen Morton (Paperback)

About the Book

"Beyond the unmissable sites at Petra, Jordan has much to offer the intrepid traveler, from its buzzy capital Amman to majestic Wadi Rum and dirt desert roads that lead to small villages with castles, churches and ancient forts. The northern hills teeter over the rift of the Jordan Valley, which runs down to the Dead Sea, while the center is carpeted with fields of wheat, cut through by expansive canyons. At its southernmost tip, beaches fringe the waters of the Red Sea with its spectacular coral reefs."-- Back cover.
