to fi nd lost treasure, if Jesus

of Nazareth came here to be

baptised, if TE Lawrence became

The Lawrence of Arabia here,

there was little reason to doubt

that our time in Jordan would be

anything less than an adventure.

AMMAN The capital of Jordan

is a city of two faces. One,

an old-fashioned side with

open-air souks, Roman-era

buildings, and crowded falafel

joints. The other, a trendy

side with charming Parisian cafes,

modern art galleries, and fi ne

dining restaurants.

JORDAN

ABSOLUTE

BARGAIN

Visa is available

on arrival for

Indian Citizens

at a cost of

40 Jordanian

Dinars (`3,612).

We recommend

you buy the

Jordan Pass

online as it not

only gives you

access to all of

Jordan’s heritage

sites, but also

completely

waives off your

visa fee.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

This is the preface to your trip to Jordan—must-see attractions that

will be your introduction to the country.
