It's Ramadan and we are fasting. At 4:30 pm we eat. When the sun is no longer visible on the horizon. We start with dates, proceed with water, soup from lenses, lambmeat and rice wrapped in leaves. We top it off with a ciggarette and a cup of coffea. There is a comedy on TV. Two married men …

Jordan's capital city is the biggest city in the country, but Jordan's main objects of touristic enjoyment are not here. One is the Dead Sea, where the water is so dense with salt that it is virtually impossible to sink. It's a short drive out of the city. The other is Petra in the South of the cou…

The trip exceeded all expectations!

My wife Bek and I flew into Cairo on Xmas day to pick up a tour a few days later. On the tour we visited Aswan, Luxor, the Red sea, the Dead Sea, Aquaba, Wadi Rum, Petra and a few other places before flying out of Amman

What my eyes saw that day I will never forget. And to think that I never had planned to visit Jordan. I chose...wisely

So I had just about one whole day to check out Amman whilst awaiting my "wee hours of the morning" flight to Europe the following morning.  After getting settled into my hotel (the Le Royal)... i decided to take it easy for a bit and catch up on some sleep.  My decision to sleep (vice wan…
