Intercontinental, Aqaba

Advantages: Wonderful country, with fantastic scenery and history
Disadvantages: Dangerous at present time (Jan '06)

...Arabic dance music pumping out of the cassette player - it was truly awesome and an experience I can't really truly put into words. I didn't even want our driver to change the music; it just fitted so well and was part of the whole enjoyment of the experience. ~~~~~~ AQABA ~~~~~~ Our final stop was the port of Aqaba on the southern tip of Jordan ... the only outlet to the sea! The climate in Aqaba is described as tropical and the Red Sea is one of the richest for marine life in the whole world, with many people descending here to do literally just that in the depths of the Red Sea. It is a very popular world site for divers; also because of it's famed coral reefs.

Advantages: A very nice dive site
Disadvantages: NONE

...On my trip to Jordan I went around all of the tourist attractions and I belive that this place was very good. They have amazing coral rocks for snorkelling and they have very good animal life down below. I enjoyed my stay and I liked the atmosphere of the place. The poeple were very friendly and I enoyed the shopping. There is a lot to do and I have a memory of buying bottle with different coloured sands with art work with words and camels and things like that. I definately recommend that you go to Jordan and if you do then definately go to Aqaba because it is so fun and it is definately in the SUN!!!... Read review

Advantages: A good capital but I didn't find it very interesting
Disadvantages: Nothing much to do.

...I went to Jordan for my family holiday and we went and stayed with some of our friends. I liked it a lot because I had so much fun. However there wasn't a lot to do because there the city didn't offer a lot. There weren't many things to do but if I stayed there for longer then I probably would have explored around and found something to do. I stayed for 4 days and I think that this time was OK but it wasn't as special as the days we had at aqaba and Wadi Rum. So if you have any ideas on going to places in the middle East then I strongly recommend that you go to Jordan but don't really spend that long in Amman because their aint that much to see!! If you want to learn more on Jordan then see all my other reviews on Jordan.... Read review
