... on Gandhi Road! For those on a pilgrimage visit, it may be preferable to stay in Kanchi itself. A wide selection of hotels are available at budget to mid range. In festival seasons, these should be booked well in advance. Kanchipuram was the ...

... the driver says is a Palestinian area, then past the citadel and down into a main street in the old section. We see a number of hotels, but not ours. We see the Palace Hotel which looks substantial, and Dianne has read about it in the guide, so we tell ...

... a chain hotel and have a reasonable expectation of what to simply expect....not so in the Middle East. Stay only at the best hotels...and expect the worst. Live and learn... I am sure the manager of the Holiday Inn Amman is expecting my letter...as ...

... that the more upscale the hotel the more they want to 'nickel and dime' you to death. The Internet was free in all our hotels except for the Pyramsia in Cairo (another upscale place) but at the Le Meridien the cost was quite high thus the delay in ...

... a comprehensive peace so he can visit his family in the West Bank. But at the bar in the Four Seasons, one of Amman’s glitziest hotels, young Jordanians have other things on their minds. Two young women, dressed in tight black trousers and tops with ...

... there. West Amman, on the other hand, is the current economic hub. That’s where you find shopping centres, expensive hotels, bars, and international restaurants. Jordanians like to brag about it and point out at its existence as a mark of ...

... to taking a tour covering all the must-sees, I was visiting the sights separately as one day trips. Interesting about tours that hotels offer is the fact that they can squeeze sights like Petra, the Dead Sea, Madaba and some others into one long day. ...

... and do it. When we got dropped off in Amman in the evening I took a taxi with the 3 guys to an area where the cheap hotels were. We got a 3 bed room with an extra mattress on the floor for the night. This hotel, the Palace Hotel, was nicer than most I ...

... free into the beautiful clean and modern west side of town. Here things appear very European, with modern commercial buildings, first class hotels, malls, fast food joints. We had to find Michelle's school, and we knew it was near the King Hussein Park. ...

... plenty of camels, donkeys and horse drawn carts to take you back for a few dinars.  There is a restaurant and a couple of hotels at the bottom. I took a couple of neckershefs that I got at REI that swell up when you soak them in water.  These ...
