DH was in Amman recently and he was surprised by how Western it has become. People smoking and drinking in public; women wearing 1/2 shirts with bellies pierced etc. He stayed in a really nice hotel and ate magnificent food.

Oh, dissappointed as I lived in oman (just outside of muscat)for several years,but for Jordan/Amman, I'm afraid I can't help.

Petra (ancient stone city) is brilliant, Wadi Rum (TE Lawrence desert hangout) is brilliant. Aqaba (Red Sea resort) has probably changed a lot since I was there, but used to be wacky with great snorkelling and restaurants. I was in Amman on Christmas Eve some years ago when I'd just come out after a month in Baghdad. I remember coming down to breakfast in the Meridien, looking at the buffet and nearly going into clinical shock at the sight of all the pastries and decorations.
