I really did not know what to expect visiting Mount Nebo, the area where Moses went to look down on the Promised Land.  I am not a religious person but at the same time find fascination with religions.  Whatever gets you through life as long as you are not hurting anyone else is fine by me.  I think that Moses had a clearer day when looked down on the Promised Land than when i visited, but while being a little hazy the sky was still blue.  The view was incredible even with...

After leaving the Dead Sea, we told our driver that we wanted to go to Jebel Nebo (Mount Nebo is Arabic), and he seemed to understand perfectly!  He even repeated it...Jebel Nebo!  Praise Jesus, we knew where we were going at last...or so we thought.  We ended up driving back and forth over the countryside, stopping every 2 minutes to ask for directions.  I am sure you think I am exaggerating, but I promise you I am not.  He would ask someone, drive until he saw someo...

From Amsterdam to Amman and by bus to the south to Aqaba. Back my national plain from Aqaba to Amman and a flight to Amsterdam. Most beautifull sights are for me Wadi Rum desert and Petra. Stunning ! (in Progress!)

Long weekend away, visiting Mount Nebo, Dead Sea, City of Petra and Amman.

Visit my travel in Jordan 2007 photo's. A complete view of Jordan in Arabia!!

10 days with 45 archeology enthusiasts and two nice guides (a bedouin and a syrian) riding a bus across the two countries. Fascinating places, ruins, people and nature. Good food, but a quarter of our group caught the usual gastroenteric problems. Very nice weather except a sandstorm in Palmyra. We admired the signs of ancient civilizations and Roman Empire, and we were able to experience a Turkish Bath (same as Roman Thermae...) great! highly recommened!
