    Planning a trip to Jordan is both exciting and exhausting. If you've never been to Jordan, or the Middle East, you probably have a myriad of questions about what it will be like – and if you're up to handling the culture shock you experience (at whatever level that might be). Luckily, Jordan is one of the easiest countries in the Middle East to visit; people are incredibly hospitable, many signs and services are offered in both Arabic and English, and you can easily explore the top sights and big cities without knowing more than a few helpful phrases...

    The Nabatean city of Petra has been drawing visitors since long before Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, UNESCO protection, or even achieving “New World Wonder” status.
