Irbid is a pleasant college town in northern Jordan. It's the country's second largest city and, as it's close to Syria, Irbid is a good place to visit for a few days before crossing the border. Due to poor relations between the US and Syria it's not always easy for Americans to secure a visa for Syria. On the internet are reports of American travelers waiting 8 hours or more at the border while the immigration officials fax Damascus for permission to issue the visa. On the other hand, supposedly it's rare for the border officials to deny the visa, so it seems if you're patient you will eventually be on the road to Damascus ...
