Dead Tourist and the Dead Sea
This is a top pick! Amman, Jordan. Yesterday I went to the Roman amphitheatre where one tourist was killed, and six others wounded about a week and a half ago. There was no indication of what had happened there. I suppose it would not be a huge help to tourism to have a ...

Amman All Over Again
This is a top pick! ... family who owns the Arab Bank. To me, King's Academy and Darat al-Funun are the prime evidence proving the level of development Jordan has achieved. Rush hour traffic was quite dense, but the tunnels work quite well. If you take the tunnels, you go below ...
