Hello all, I did the Jordan trip in November and must recommend it.
Highlights? - well, obviously is had to be Petra but take each day as it comes and every day has a highlight, from being covered in mud and floating (you can't sink if you try - just try standing up again) in the Dead Sea; the magnificence of the Roman Citadel high above Amman; the Wadi Rum experience and finally the relaxing last day in Aqaba.
If you have the energy, and I suggest you try, then do the walk to the high Monastery at Petra. It's a bit of a climb but well worth the effort. If I remember it's over 800 steps but with 3 "best views" at the top there's no denying the slog is worth it.
One thing! The price of alcohol is extortionate due to 216% tax. I paid about £6.00 for a small can of beer at the Dead Sea resort. The same price at hotels but a larger volume. Prices were slightly lower at Aqaba.
If you've booked enjoy it - if not, then hit the button.
John
