My visit to Jordan in august 2008

I just decided to string this trip together at the last minute. I kind of like the feeling I get of flying by the seat of my pants.

The next morning we took off to Amman at 7am.  We landed and took a taxi directly to Madaba.  The city is only 10 kilometers from Amman, but it's closer to the sites we wanted to see.  Also, taxis aren't the cheapest option, but we didn't have the luxury of time.  Madaba is a ni…

Se puede decir que mi vieja se fue hace un tiempo ya, se siente. De todas maneras, aprovechando un cambio de días en el laburo, me llevé a mi hermana a Petra. Yo ya estube antes, pero ella no. Al viaje se prendió Luciana.Viajamos en auto hasta la frontera en Eilat, sin ningún incidente,  s…

reflecting back on my trip, I fell in love with the land and its people. Hardly ever have I met such good-natured and civilized people, who's hospitality shines so bright.

    We were in port for a day and having been to Petra twice we went to Wadi Rum. It is in the south of Jordan near the Arabian desert. When you get to the Nat Park you transfer to 4 wheel drives. They take you through the dunes. It is quite a beautiful and very quiet place.

i have been there about 10 times. Everytime was differnent! so unique

The reason why I went to Jordan, was to work at an archaeological fieldschool as part of my education. We lived in a compound in the Northern end of the site. We worked Saturday to Thursday, and then left Jerash Thursday night to experience the rest of Jordan on Friday. Memories from Jerash: * S…

After traveling all day from Beirut, getting a service taxi in Damascus and dealing with all the border hassles, I was finally packed  into a tiny car cruising at 130 kph through the desert darkness nearing Amman. As I was drifting into a hypnotic, fatigue induced daze the …

If you go to the city of Amman you HAVE to take the 3 hour drive to the ancient city of Petra. Leave early (7am) and arrive in Petra by 11am and you will be able to spend at least 4 hours to see the most amazing city in the world!! Make sure you have great walking shoes, lots of sun screen, a hat a…

In 2005 I was lucky enough to have our C-130 break in Amman Jordan. Jordan is an AMAZING place! Forget all the bad news from the middle east and get lost in history, amazement, wonder, and just a damn good time.

Just visited Jordan n' Egypt for this year Thai New Year (Apr. 12-17) and it was one of the incredibly amazing travel trip ever! We went to Petra City, one of the World's Amazing 7 Wonders back in year 2007, Dead Sea and Jeresh in Jordan. The cities and sights were amazing and people are quite friendly. Then Cairo, Egypt to visit the Mummy Museum in Cairo then to Giza for visiting Pyramid & Sphix, World's Most Remarkable 7 Wonders in the Middle East - Egypt.
