Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can visit the Greco-Roman city of Jerash, the crusader castle of Karak, and the beautiful nature reserve of Dana. If you have less time, prioritize the sites you want to visit and choose a day tour instead of driving on your own. Keep in mind the weather condition; it can get very hot and sunny during the day, especially in the summer months. Pack comfortable and loose attire and wear sunscreen and hats. May we recommend staying at high-end hotels and resorts that are coupled with stellar views, sumptuous spas and gourmet restaurants!
