"While Jordan may not be the first place that comes to mind when planning an outdoor adventure, this tiny spec of a country is incredibly underrated. One of the world's great travel secrets, Jordan is more accessible than Amazon, warmer than Nepal, cheaper than USA, and less touristy than Morocco. And while much of the Middle East is embroiled in conflict and strife, Jordan remains an oasis of relative peace and tranquility." (The lonely Planet. 7th edition)
