Pros
- Rounding of the trip: two days in Amman (Pics #14-17) with a half-day trip to Jerash (Pic #18). I can recommend both cities and am still dreaming about Mansaf (Pic #16), the Jordanian national dish with the most delicious lamb you will t...
- the majority of good restaurants are in Amman.
- It’s a really nice city with some great sights of its own, particularly the Citadel and Amphitheater.
- Next time, I’m flying into Amman and crossing the Allenby Bridge from Jordan. It’s a longer way, but I'd rather deal with the desert than the dehumanizations.
- You can book a walking tour, a cooking class, attend a concert, etc. It also helps give you understand the country before you start exploring purely touristy sites.
Cons
- Driving in Amman seemed very stressful, but otherwise Jordan is wide open and doable.
