PLACE INFO
Jerash Looks interesting, but skipped as Palmyra was fantasic.
Dead Sea Nowhere to camp around here. Militarised area, and very barren. Visit beach for 1hr and leave!
Amman Nice enough city, but could skip. Stayed at Sydney Hostel (JD18 double). Parking in front. GPS:N31° 57.071 / E035° 55.710
Dana Village Unexpected find: Stayed at wonderful Dana Hotel (JD12 double). Be there for sunset!! Spent a day walking in Nature Reserve. Highly recc!!
GPS: N30°40.500 / E035°36.610 (?)
Petra Day visit only between Dana and Wadi Rum. No more time needed.
Wadi Rum Impressive desert scenery. Cheap enough as a "free camp" alone. (JD2pp + JD10car). Others used an "alternative exit" at the SW restricted corner of their printed map. Don't get bogged.
