Excellent Program!

I spent an incredible 5 months with this program, and experienced so much of Jordan that I never would have without their excellent, hardworking staff. They make sure to expose you to as much local culture as possible, and work within your Arabic abilities, whatever they are. I especially recommend staying with a homestay--they have a solid network of extremely friendly, hospitable families for you to stay with. Many people ask me if it's safe, and I always say: much safer than the U.S.! People in Jordan are more welcoming than you'd believe, and the CIEE staff will make sure you get out and experience that welcoming. Trips to Petra, Wadi Rum, Ajloun--it's all included, and anywhere else you want to visit, you'll have support.
