Lonely Planet Jordan (Travel Guide)

I’ve used all types of guidebooks for decades. I usually prefer the ones with more site-specific pics, history, maps/ layout, and walking tours. I usually don’t love LPs — they have no photos and tend to focus way too much on nightclubs/restaurants than I care about. But THIS LP was surprisingly great. Compact, with a good number of maps and photos, then tons of site specific history. Delightfully perfect. Highly recommend!!

I bought this book before spending a summer based in Amman, and (in some cases) it was even more helpful than local advice. I loaned it out throughout the trip to various members in my group as they planned their weekend excursions. The maps alone and it's small, portable size make it a worthy purchase for anyone spending a few days to a few months in Jordan. The edition was printed in 2015 but as of August 2016 there were no inaccuracies.

So through, everything you need to know about the special sights, ancient city of Petra, crusader castle Karak, etc. also antiquities such as biblical sites, example Mt. Nebo, Moses. Places off the beaten path but not to be missed. What time of year to go,and very helpful maps to do walking tours for example Amman where to eat where to stay where to shop and sights not to miss.This has everything you need to know down to the exchange of currency.

Good information!

Very impressed with the amount of information compiled in this book. We found it very useful for our trip planning. Thank you.

Typical ---- well done Lonely Planet Guide

This is an invaluable book for anyone who wants to visit Jordan--or for anyone who once lived there long ago, as I did, and wants an armchair travel guide to the country. I was there when the 1962 movie LAWRENCE OF ARABIA was filmed in Jordan's Wadi Rum, but this guide includes information about the historical Lawrence of Arabia (T.E. Lawrence) in Wadi Rum! The Lonely Planet JORDAN is a beautifully illustrated and richly instructive travel guide, highly recommended!

LP at its best. Accurate, detailed, convenient, to the point.

Excellent boook, prices have gone up since books last update, jordon Is expensive, everything has plus, plus, a 10% service charge and a further 16% charge on booze, be aware, a bottle of Jordan wine will cost between £22 - £35 each, ouch

Needed a guide to Jordan at short notice and this one fitted the description perfectly. Very useful for trip planning and whilst out on the ground exploring. Contains all the important places you are most likely going to want to visit. Restaurant recommendations were also pretty accurate. Recommended.

Book arrived quickly and seems very informative as usual with Lonely Planet books. Will put it to the test on holiday but I know I won't be dissapointed.

Informative. Easy to use guide.

just the thing
