It's that time of the year when everyone is planning a vacation to beat the heat.

And there are some interesting packages like one from the Marriott Hotels to visit Jordan.

Jordan, apart from making its Hollywood debut in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, is literally bristling with sites of historical importance.

Apart from the ancient city of Petra that figured in the climax of the Indiana Jones movie, there is Jerash, which boasts of human occupation for more than 6,500 years, Aqaba for its preserved coral reefs, Desert and Crusade castles and the 5,000-year-old King's Highway, all waiting to be explored and experienced.

The offers are priced at Amman Marriot (JD 99 upwards), Jordan Valley Mariott Resort and Spa (JD 99 upwards), Petra Marriott (JD 59 upwards).

The offer is valid till September 3, 2006. Marriott also offers customers who pay with VISA "$100 to spend on the next stay at any Marriott hotel worldwide". Those who pay with the VISA will get a Bonus Bucks SM coupon.

For details, log on to www.ammanmarriott.com or www.jordanvalley marriottdeadsea.com
