This review is from: Jordan Handbook (Footprint - Travel Guides) (Paperback)
The "Footprint Jordan Handbook" would be a good guide for someone who is thinking of making an extended stay in Jordan, but there is far too much detail for the average traveler. Given that guidebooks about Jordan are few and far between, I would have preferred something more manageable for our six-day visit.
