quote I lived in Jordan for two years. It's a desert climate, hot in the day and windy and chilly at night. Jordan is always entertaining, the most exciting place to be is the outdoor markets. If you want to feel more at home, try visiting West Amman, where you can find all the north american stores and franchises. You should drink bottled water, pack a lot of sandals and foot files because heels get cracked! Most importantly, be friendly and modest then people will really respect you, like anywhere else in the world. Jordanians love to celebrate even the smallest things and weddings are big and festive. Accomodation, travelling, and clothes can be expensive.
