Review

From the top of Mount Nebo (where God showed Moses the Holy Land), to the depths of the Dead Sea, there's much to see in this beautiful, richly historic land. Over the centuries, empires have come and gone. This information-packed yet compact guide sorts out Jordan's many-layered past, then provides a bounty of travel destinations. Perhaps you'll visit the ancient desert city of Petra, with its extraordinary coloured rocks and carved facades. Or take the scenic King's Highway to Madaba where, beneath the present-day town, Byzantine churches and mosaics abound. With this handy source-book, you're on your way before you can say "wahad, ithnain, thalatha" (one, two, three).
