Instead of Petra, where do you recommend?

If u like historical place, I recommend "Kerak Castle".

Kerak Castle is a typical example of Crusader architecture with Romanesque-style stone vaults, numerous corridors, and strong doorways. The Crusader parts of the ruins are mostly on the upper level and can be identified by their dark volcanic tufa; later Arab additions are in white limestone.

Walk through a massive door (ask at the ticket office), steps down to vast, dimly-lit, vaulted rooms and corridors underground.

The upper courtyard includes the remains of a Crusader chapel and provides excellent views over the Jordanian landscape to the Dead Sea.

The west wing of the complex is home to the small Kerak Archaeological Museum, which displays artifacts excavated at the site.

Location: El-Mujamma St., Kerak, Jordan
Hours: Daily 8.00am - 5.00pm
Cost: JD 1 ($1.40)

Jordan is a very interesting destination in a Middle East. The ancient and modern capital of Jordan capital - Amman is a fascinating city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new. Visit the “hidden city” of Petra built 2000 years ago. Drive to Ajloun to see Saladin’s magnificent Mountaintop castle. Visit Jerash, known as the “Pompeii of the East,” one of the world’s best-preserved Greco-Roman cities. Take a ride to Wadi Mujib, a precipitous canyon, to Kerak Castle, with its maze of stone vaulted halls and endless passageways, from the time of the Crusaders. Cross the desert to the Dead Sea where you can relax for a couple of days at the luxury spas. For the upscale and comfortable tour of Jordan check Isram World of Travel. That company offers a variety tours to the Middle East, including Jordan.
