4.0 out of 5 stars Good Guide Book...but..., March 2, 2003
By 
Rook Andalus (Venice, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Jordan (Lonely Planet Jordan, 4th ed) (Paperback)
Much more informative than LP's "Jordan & Syria" edition. There are a couple of beautiful pictures of Wadi Rum in here, and some decent background info on archeological sites around Jordan. Border crossing politics are made clear, and how to get around is succint. There is quite a bit of information packed into this book, covering everything from little-known facts about Bedouin life to opening/closing times at Karak Castle. The maps in this book are more useful than some other guides I've seen and I would have given this book 5 stars, but I know of another book superior to this one.... It's Matthew Teller's "Jordan-The Rough Guide"....

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money, July 4, 2011

This review is from: Lonely Planet Jordan (Paperback)
This was a much older version of the book.
The historic explanations and site instructions are indeed helpful.
However, the info on telephone numbers, accommodation is quite outdated.

Good value for money if you are looking for info on sites but not if you are using it as the only guide to Jordan in terms of PRACTICAL info.
