Thanks for the great series of Jordan posts. looking at going there next year and did not know about the visit jordan card. Following your petra post I will look at staying close to the entrance now rather than further out. I guess the dead sea is on the list now too. Thanks Enjoy your posts as they still have a little bit of el cheepo grit, reminding me of my firm rule in india and asia 30yrs ago that if the room cost more than $1USD find a cheaper room. Fast forward to now and up to a certian level a little bit more money gets a lot more pleasure.
neat. We were there earlier this year.
Did you get a chance to eat here at Hashem Restaurant?

Best hummus and falafel I’ve ever had.
Great write-up Ricky, appreciate you sharing what could have been better about your trip so that others can avoid doing the same.
"next time I think I’d very much be willing to pay a little more and get a little more in return. As it turned out, this kind of sentiment would become something of a recurring theme"
Couldn’t agree more! I went backpacking for most of 2018 and found that if you’re willing to spend just a bit more, your experience will be much better (i.e. don’t be cheap at very opportunity). As a "backpacker" I was trying to minimize my costs at certain times where if I bothered to spent a bit more money, I would’ve saved myself the headaches (sometimes it was just a few measly dollars in SE Asian countries!).
This idea goes back to the value vs. enjoyment post you did previously. There’s a fine line in maximizing your savings and going through hurdles and headaches in that marginal improvement.
Agreed. In fact, Jordan is where this lesson really clicked for me (as you’ll see in the other posts). I’ve learned this lesson now for future trips!
