Amman - Jordan

I am heading out to Jordan towards the end of July.... difficult to see if there are any bodies of water around or close Amman - even lakes...

Does anyone know the area?

Re: Amman - Jordan

Been only to the airport but from the plane this area looked pretty arid.
You can probably get to Aqaba which is on the red-sea in a few hours drive. Maybe they have flights, if so they are probably no longer than 1 hour.
A friend of mine who dove in Aqaba had only good things to say. Saw a picture of a really nice wreck which should be freedive-able (20-30m).
Petra is considered as a touristic destination (if you're into world-heritage old ruins), should be close to Aqaba.

Re: Amman - Jordan

Aqaba is only 3 1/2 hours drive from Amman so we will be taking down the kayaks when possible (and my diving gear, Paul doesnt dive any more).

i cant wait - and we also might be staying there for good, i will know next week
