its stunning Red Sea resorts and Blue Flag beaches, world famous heritage sites,
deserts and sophisticated capital, Jordan is an increasingly popular holiday
destination. Bringing this fabulous country to life through words, Carole French
discusses Jordan's history and culture, eco projects, wildlife and marine life,
desert treks, markets and malls. She takes you through the main cities and
regions, from the capital Amman ? an exotic mix of old-fashioned bazaars, tiny
streets, swish five-star hotels and glitzy new shopping malls ? to the UNESCO
city of Petra, the hauntingly beautiful Wadi Rum desert, religious sites,
castles, diving sites and the healing waters of the Dead Sea. This insightful
guide is perfect for anyone planning their first trip to this magnificent
country.
