Lonely Planet Jordan Travel Guide by Lonely Planet 20150801 Books Reviews

• I bought this book before spending a summer based in Amman, and (in some cases) it was even more helpful than local advice. I loaned it out throughout the trip to various members in my group as they planned their weekend excursions. The maps alone and it's small, portable size make it a worthy purchase for anyone spending a few days to a few months in Jordan. The edition was printed in 2015 but as of August 2016 there were no inaccuracies.
• So through, everything you need to know about the special sights, ancient city of Petra, crusader castle Karak, etc. also antiquities such as biblical sites, example Mt. Nebo, Moses. Places off the beaten path but not to be missed. What time of year to go,and very helpful maps to do walking tours for example Amman where to eat where to stay where to shop and sights not to miss.
  This has everything you need to know down to the exchange of currency.
• Good information!
• Very impressed with the amount of information compiled in this book. We found it very useful for our trip planning. Thank you.
• LP at its best. Accurate, detailed, convenient, to the point.
• This is an invaluable book for anyone who wants to visit Jordan--or for anyone who once lived there long ago, as I did, and wants an armchair travel guide to the country. I was there when the 1962 movie LAWRENCE OF ARABIA was filmed in Jordan's Wadi Rum, but this guide includes information about the historical Lawrence of Arabia (T.E. Lawrence) in Wadi Rum! The Lonely Planet JORDAN is a beautifully illustrated and richly instructive travel guide, highly recommended!
• First, I have been to the Middle East many times, various countries. That being said I found this book highly judgmental towards how westerners try to adapt or be thoughtful while traveling "covering ones head as a woman is seen as offensive" what a pretentious line for a travel book. Covering my head in a hijab or scarf not only shows the respect for those cultures it also protected me from many unwanted looks and cat calls. This joke of advice is just one of many that made me cringe.
  Otherwise the book itself is not that great, the detail in exploration and sites could be more in depth.
  I wish Rick Steve's had done a book on Jordan. This book is not worth the price, does not even have laminated pages which is a plus for a good traveler who actually uses the book. I am buying the Rough Guide to Jordan, i have always had good luck with their books!
• Well written , good history info and easy to find places, activities etc
