The Rough Guide to Jordan
"I recently spent two weeks travelling through Jordan - my first trip to the Middle East - and took with me all the guidebooks I could find. This one was, by far, the best. Not only was it consistently accurate and useful, it also provided a lot of very interesting background information on the country's history, culture, and social life."
