• Pros
  • Jordanian hospitality (notably Bedouins).
  • Amazing natural diversity (wooded hills, terrace cultivation and the fertile valley of the Jordan in the northwest, the Aqaba seaside resort on the Red Sea, desert in the east, turbulent relief in the south...)
  • The rich cultural heritage (ancient cities, biblical sites, Oemyyade castles, Crusaders' fortresses...)
• Cons
  • Lodging: the hotel classification is not easily determined and quality varies. Petra and Aqada face lodging problems in peak seasons, spring and beginning autumn.
  • Handicraft: buying souvenirs won't ruin you but most articles are imported from Syria (marquetry), Jerusalem (Hebron glassworks and coloured earthenware from the West Bank), Egypt (perfumes, copper), Iran (miniatures) or Afghanistan (jewels).
