I went to Jordan for a holiday and I found that it was very friendly, nice, and interesting. I went all over Jordan and my Dad took part in the Jordan super marathon. I have to admit that the best place that we wnert to along with Aqaba has got to be Petra. Petra means ROCK and this is literaly what it is. It is a city carved out of the rock. As you walk down this sort of promenade with cliffs towering over you it is nice and cool and is a good break from the heat of the day. As you walk out of the promenade you come to the Treasury. This feature took my breath away and I am sure it has done the same thing to everyone else that has gone to Petra. The Treasury is a large building that is carved out of the cliff side. It is a sort of pink rock that has been used for carving. I loved this but it wasn't just it. There was a monastery which you can rent donkeys to climb up the mountain to the monastery. It is also breath taking but not as much as the treasury because it is so amazing.
There are also other archaelogical digs such as temples and other things like that which are also very interesting. I recommend that you see this when you ever go to Jordan because it should be one of the seven wonders of the world. I could possibly compare it to the pyramids of giza and the temples of Luxor in Egypt. One complaint is how they allow horses to ride down the promenade. This disrupts the walking and the quietness and also there is horse excretion as you walk along which smells and isn't very pleasant to look at. This is a mild complaint and it shouldn't rally affect your choice of going to Jordan because that would jsut be stupid.
So if you are wondering if you should go to Jordan then I definately recommend that you go because it is an amazing country.
