Jordan is a really interesting country, one that I hope to come back to and spend more time in. It has a very "Middle Eastern" feel to it, while also being a modern and livable place. The clear centerpiece of Jordanian tourism is Petra, the famous ancient city. It is a huge archaeological site, housing magnificent stone architecture and artifacts.
Budget (2015): A decent subsistence budget for Jordan (dorm beds, food, transport) would be $30 per day. However, you are going to want to set aside some extra money for tourist fees. Entry to Petra is not cheap, at roughly $70, and many of the other activities (Wadi Rum, scuba diving, etc.) are expensive as well. Decide what you want to see before you visit Jordan, and budget accordingly.
