Must Have Book....
If you're planning on touring Jordan independently, then this is the book for you. It also is very helpful in identifying activities and tours of interest (especially activities off the beaten trail), and it guides you to reputable local tour companies.

My Jordan tour is not until December, 2008. However, I feel very confident that I have chosen the best hotels and activities within my budget.

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.

Book not received
After one month i didn't received the book.
Problem is that my departure to Jordan is tomorrow so the book will not be necessary.
