Safety in Jordan

[Gillovski]

Never worry about coming to Middle East.. do not believe what you read in newspaper or see in TV/Media etc. Jordan is safer than Europe and USA... so come on over...
Diving is great too.. Aqaba - the best kept diving secret.. no mass market crowds in the water as in Egypt. Superb u/w photo opportinities great macro shots. Contact Seastar watersports - PADI 5* IDC and Above and Below Adventures for all your activities.

Hey Gillovski:

Are you just visiting or living over there now? I was there in 1994 and went to Aqaba and Petra, and it was awesome (of course diving only in Aqaba)! My home was Al Jafar Airfield working with Jordanian Special Forces. The are very humble but so professional, I often think about them and their situation these past few years. You could not find more personable military people than in Jordan.

I wish I had more time to spend over there but our Uncle had different plans for me. Anyway, if there is one Mid East place I'd voluntarily go back to, it would be Jordan. Anywhere else, well, I will not get ugly or political.

Keep us posted and +1 recommendation for Jordan.

With kind regards from North Carolina,
Thomas
