Jordan - Frances Linzee Gordon

Insight Guide Jordan is a comprehensive full-colour travel guide to the
culture, history, people and sights in this peaceful and prosperous
Middle Eastern country. Our inspirational Best Of section selects
Jordan's top attractions, from the iconic rose-red city of Petra and the
desert landscape of Wadi Rum, associated with Lawrence of Arabia, to
the Dead Sea, Roman ruins, desert castles, Biblical sites and
first-class diving in the Red Sea.

Our unrivalled coverage of
history, landscape and culture provides an essential introduction to
Jordan's heritage and contemporary life, to complement the in-depth look
at crafts, outdoor activities and Jordanians' love affair with the
Arabian horse. The informative text, written by regional experts, is a
pleasure to read and accompanied by stunning photography.

Lavish,
magazine-style features offer an insight into Jordanian architecture,
the Bedouin, caf society in the capital, Amman, and the Red Sea.

All
major sights are cross-referenced with the maps, and the travel tips
section provides a wealth of practical information on how to plan your
trip, as well as carefully selected hotel and restaurant listings.
