Amman Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

So, the last day...

Stopped by a church in Madaba with some 5th century mosaics of the middle east and a 45 minute history lesson...zzzz....and then drove 30 minutes north for a quick city tour of Amman, the capital and business center of Jordan. Surprisingly modern and westernized city, very hilly, great views of the cityscape in some ar...

Well, there is one more day of school left before the Eid break!  The government did call the holiday early so that means NO school on Sunday.  Yipppeeeeeeee!  I am not sure who is more excited-me or the kids. :-)  That also means that the MS dance has been "postponed" till the end of January which makes me a happy camper. Today has been windy a...

So far our new relationship with Jordan had followed the usual pattern - at first it's all new experiences (Wadi Rum) and crazy sex (Petra), but eventually things slow down and you have to meet the friends (Dana, Shobak), then the parents (Amman, the Dead Sea), then the novelty wears off and you realize the sex isn't so much crazy as strange and...

My day started off on a very very bad foot. I found a cockroach in my bathroom. Yes, it was disgusting...I had never seen one before and didn't even know what kind of a bug it was, I just knew it was big and scary and ugly. Neither of my roommates took action and I sure as hell wasn't going to do anything, so I went looking for Lutfi, our guard ...

The first thing I did when I got into Amman was switch hotels; this wound up involving a walk through the entire downtown area, which gave me a nice view of the area -- a frenzy of shops and souks, mostly, with no building over around 7 stories, much like Damascus. Amman is built on and between a patch of steep hills, which makes navigaton diffi...

Hello all. So I get to Jordan and Im exhausted so I pretty much spent the first couple of days kicking back, writing emails and sleeping. I had a bit of a look around\d the city. Up to the citidal and around the archeological museum. So Im walking around this relatively small museum and what do I see. The dead sea scrolls. Was kind of cool and v...

Travelblog 5 - Where am I? - 3/29/05 I am finally free in the city. I've escaped the confines of the lovely but limiting Amman Sheraton for an excursion on the streets. We, the 89 participants and the dozen or so staff and volunteers are loaded into buses and driven into the city at night for shopping - major girlie time. One bus heads to the Me...

Mother Al Hadid's family are owners of the college here. Her son, Mohammed, is the director. This was our first visit to their home. What a home! I would say, more of a palace. We parked to the side of the house and crossed under a set of stone arches to get to the main walkway. Then we climbed several stone steps to the solid glass entrance doo...

No news so far today, but here are soem apartment pics.

Hi my name is Justin Cormack, I am 25 years old and I am an amphitheartecholic. I have been sitting and sleeping in ancient ruined amphitheatres for 3 days straight now and I just cannot stay away. It began with Petra, then Amman and now Jerash. I just sit there for hours doing nothing, but reading, updating my journal and watching and talking t...
