Lonely Planet Jordan
I bought this book after my trip to Jordan. I usually buy my Lonely Books before I make the trip. Even after the trip, the book was very useful. I was able to better understand and appreciate the sights I saw while in Jordan. I have had very good impressions with all the Londly Planet books I have used.

A great tourist guide book
As with other Lonely Planet country guidebooks, this book is detailed, well written and up-to-date. It has a couple of pages of pictures from around Jordan. Lonely Planet sets the standard for country guide books. My only reservation is that Lonely Planet has the nerve to charge $22.99 for a 304 page book!

very helpful!
This travel guide was perfect for my trip. It was small enough to fit in my purse and had all kinds of useful information. The section about country customs was particularly helpful in preparing me for travel. My driver and host were even impressed with the quality of information it provided. The only other thing I really needed was a good map.
