Where else did you go? We went to Amman....very nice...and Jerash.....VERY Ancient and very nice also! We went from Jerusalem.
My ship pulled into Aquaba, and our time off the Navy base there was strictly limited. I went out into Aquaba for shopping and to relax at a couple hotels in addition to the Petra tour and that was it. There was a trip to the Dead Sea, but I skipped it.
