3.0 out of 5 stars
For the tourist, not the traveller, December 11, 2006
This review is from: Blue Guide Jordan, Third Edition (Blue Guides) (Paperback)
Blue Guide Jordan provides the reader with an extensive breakdown of all the sites to see in Jordan, but provides little in the way of practical advice on how to travel through this fantastic country. One would be wise to take a copy of the latest Rough Guide to Jordan for in-depth information on hotels, restaurants, and transportation, and carry this along if you plan to visit one of the many archaeological sites that Jordan has to offer. The Blue Guide is well-researched and provides accurate data about most of Jordan's attractions, which is far more reliable than many local tour guides who tend to be a bit creative when guiding unsuspecting tourists. Bottom line: If you want practical travellers advice on where to go, eat, and sleep, buy the Rough Guide to Jordan; if all of this is prearranged for you, then the Blue Guide is a good book to rely on.
