A seven star view

Wadi Rum, Jordan

A modern Arabic country with amazing sites

Having lived a year in Jordan I can only recomend that people visit this amazing country. It has tourist sites, hiking, trekking and water adventures and lots more. Amman is a modern city with bars and restaurants and lots of nightclubs were locals and expats spend their nights out.
There is one thing to remember..there is no souq, no Arab feel to the city and 1001 night feeling is fare away.
One of the beautiful deserts in Jordan is Wadi Rum in south Jordan. Here you are not allowed to drive and local beduins will drop you off at a camp from where you can hike further into the desert. Amazing nature! Maybe water sports are more your thing and then Aqaba is where you want to go. Five star hotels with different facilities and offers - including dolphin watch.
A place that is well suited for a longer stay or even settling down.

Dana - an eco-resort

Another of Jordans beautiful sights is Dana Nature Reserve with its Feynan Eco-lodge which is a small hotel in environment-friendly design(no eletricity) and lit by candles.
Here there are many hiking trails and some archaeological sites. There are three options for staying in Dana; Rumana Campsite, Dana Guesthouse and Feynan Lodge.
