Book Description

Country Guide April 1, 2006
Ancient cities, desert landscapes and the most intriguing sea in the world: Lonely Planet’s Jordan covers them all. But venture beyond Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea for activities coverage you won’t find in any other guidebook. Hiking, scrambling, rock climbing, camel trekking, 4WD excursions – there’s more adventure here than Lawrence of Arabia had time for.

Petra In Depth – highlights, hiking routes and how to get off the beaten path

Ecotourism Options – extensive coverage of the flagship Dana Nature Reserve, plus hints on how to spend your money to make a difference

Relax like Cleopatra and Herod the Great, who knew a great Dead Sea spa treatment when they saw it.

Sleep Under The Stars and experience legendary Bedouin hospitality, or opt for roofed comfort: every accommodation review packed with opinion

Get Organized – tips on border crossings, Internet access, digital photography and transport routes

More About the Author

Bradley Mayhew was born in Sevenoaks, Kent in 1970 and currently lives in Yellowstone County, Montana. A degree in Oriental Studies (Chinese) at Oxford University kickstarted 20 years of independent travel in the remoter corners of Asia and a career writing guidebooks. With his classmate, he wrote the Odyssey Guide to Uzbekistan, the first guidebook to the country, in 1995. He has since written over 25 guides for Lonely Planet, specialising in Central Asia, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, China and Yellowstone National Park.

In the course of his research trips he's been arrested in the Tajikistan Pamirs, forced to make a self-criticism in Tibet, slept in a cupboard in Nicaragua and spent way too much time eating mutton kebabs across inner Asia. Bradley has also written for Insight guides and Rough Guides and has lectured on Central Asia to the Royal Geographical Society. He was recently seen retracing the route of Marco Polo for a five-hour German TV documentary (Arte/SWR), airing in 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet Jordan, July 4, 2006

This review is from: Lonely Planet Jordan (Country Guide) (Paperback)
I bought this book after my trip to Jordan. I usually buy my Lonely Books before I make the trip. Even after the trip, the book was very useful. I was able to better understand and appreciate the sights I saw while in Jordan. I have had very good impressions with all the Londly Planet books I have used.

Anne (West Lafayette, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Jordan (Country Guide) (Paperback)
This travel guide was perfect for my trip. It was small enough to fit in my purse and had all kinds of useful information. The section about country customs was particularly helpful in preparing me for travel. My driver and host were even impressed with the quality of information it provided. The only other thing I really needed was a good map.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great tourist guide book, February 12, 2009
By 
This review is from: Lonely Planet Jordan (Country Guide) (Paperback)
As with other Lonely Planet country guidebooks, this book is detailed, well written and up-to-date. It has a couple of pages of pictures from around Jordan. Lonely Planet sets the standard for country guide books. My only reservation is that Lonely Planet has the nerve to charge $22.99 for a 304 page book!
