Straddling some of the most strife-ridden countries in the Middle East, Jordan is one of the world's friendliest countries. From a history that goes back to Moses who stood at Mt Nebo and surveyed the promised land, to the lost city of Petra, one of the new seven wonders of the world, Jordan offers the Dead Sea, the starkness of Wadi Rum, the bustle of modern Amman and the coral-filled wonders of the Gulf of Aqaba, besides several Roman cities, Crusader castles, citadels and Biblical sites. To get under the skin of Jordon, read, 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', by TE Lawrence, watch, 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' and listen to hit album 'Khaliji', featuring Naser Musa.
Best time to visit: April to May and September to October. The average temperature in Jordan is 17.5°C. The highest monthly average temperature is 33°C in August, while the lowest average temperature is 4°C in January.

Jordan is very well connected to the outside world. Queen Alia International airport is the busiest and biggest airport and a major gateway for foreign tourists.
The most common way of getting between cities is by bus most of which are fifteen or eighteen seater. Some larger buses and air conditioned coaches also serve as public transport. Bus fares are very low.
Royal Jordanian operates the only domestic flight. It isn’t expensive and means you can travel from city centre to city centre in very less time. In addition the airborne views over the dessert, the dead sea and the Petra mountains are exceptional.
There are several car rental companies like Europcar, Avis.
