My barbers are all Jordanian and it's recently made my list. Seems like a fun place. How easy would it be to go to some of the other countries in the region? I'm pretty sure they don't have rail connecting them.

You'll have to fly, but flights are cheap and plentiful.

Like the other person said, not easily by road but flights are cheap in the area. Israel is also incredible. I did a road trip to Jerusalem from Amman through the west bank and it's one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The Jordanian people are lovely.

Jordan and Oman are my two favorite places in the Middle East.

There are some good flight inclusive tour packages where you can go to a few countries and they are relatively well priced. I used Gate 1 and it was a we’ll organized seamless trip and affordable

That sounds perfect. Yeah I want to go to 3-5 countries in 10 days. It’s easy in Europe with the trains.
