Jordan is the place to go if you want to see complete grecco roman towns, walk in the foot steps of Moses, see where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, or just eat the lettuce without getting amoebic dysentery. It has incredible sights crammed into a small area, modern facilities and excellent guides. I had gone there to see Petra, but there was so much more. At one small museum in Amman was the oldest statue made by man, early wall paintings and fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls. And that was just the first afternoon. The next day was Jerash, a town that was part of Rome’s Decapolis, ten trading towns established through out the empire. Its mile long streets are lined with columns and temples.
