Got Ranier on the brain for the queen and never could quite get the correct name.

Is hummus officially from Jordan then? I think they have some competition in this respect, namely every other country in the Middle East.

I swear, every time I see that temple I'm thinking that's where they keep the Holy Grail.

Tourist tips for those going to Jordan: Petra is indeed impressive but the price is exorbitant and you might end up feeling it's not worth it. CouchSurf or make friends with some of the bedouin in the area and they can bring you in the back way where you don't have to pay. If you take a day trip in from Israel it's even more expensive than if you are staying in Jordan.

Jerash is one of the best-preserved Roman cities I've ever seen. Umm Qais up north is nice, too. Both are *way* cheaper than visiting Petra, and in my opinion Jerash is better.

Wadi Rum does indeed look surreal and extraterrestrial. Very similar to the landscape in Northeast Saudi Arabia.

The Dead Sea can be visited from both the Jordanian and Israeli sides. The Jordanian side is cheaper and less crowded. The Israeli side is nicer.

Aqaba is beautiful, too.

As with all of these tourist attractions, you pay for the restoration, the upkeep, the security guards, etc.

Nah. With this one you are paying for the international celebrity of the place and they are price-gouging. I mean, I'm sure that upkeep and security costs of Petra is not literally 8x as much as Jerash. But that's how much more the ticket price is.

where would you recommend to travel; Jordan or Oman?

I've never been to Oman. I have friends who visited or even lived there; they all said it was great. But I can't make a comparison from personal experience. To me Jordan seemed more interesting, and it was also on the way since I was coming from Saudi Arabia and headed to Egypt (2010) and Israel (2014). In 2014 I stayed in Jordan for a few weeks before moving on.

I disagree a bit. I thought Petra was soo worth it!! Good advice in general though.

I see that the ticket price has indeed rocketed since I was there in 2004 but even at today's prices it has to be worth it. If you are visiting Jordan, you surely have to go to Petra. Wadi Rum is also stunning
