It is still very rich in history, though a lot of it aside from Petra and Wadi Rum is Roman vs. what you'd get in Egypt. You certainly don't have to worry about every single person related to the tourist industry trying to rip you off either that you experience in Egypt, very different culture in that regard. You won't go wrong with either choice but Egypt can be hard core if you're not used to it.

That's an interesting question about the mileage on a DGLOB34 in the case of an involuntary re-route. I have no idea, we have had so few people in this forum talking about that ticket there aren't any data points I'm aware of. I guess try it and see what happens. The only times I've had major invols on RTWs so far on a QF ticket and they were generally pretty good about dealing with it, but just be conscious that while they may end up ticketing something that exceeds your mileage it could (likely) cause problems in subsequent changes later.

I do get what you meant by manual transit now, sometimes the OW tool does require inputting it that way, but it's still a connection on the ticket and as far as the ticketing carrier is concerned. I had to do the same thing on my ex-CAI since I wanted to go from STL to DOH via the west cost, but the tool won't offer those routings, so I entered STL-SEA to get the AS flight, then SEA-DOH for the QR flight, it was happy to ticket it that way, but it's definitely ticketed as a connection. I've done that a few times now, unless you're breaking a married segment availability limitation then it seems to be fine with it.
