We passed up the group optional trip to Jeresh, an old Roman town, and the taxi ride to the downtown bazaar area and opted instead for a walk in the area around the hotel which we thought would be strictly residential.When we asked the woman at the desk the best way to go, she directed us to turn right to the bottom of the hill and then turn left. We shortly arrived at the university neighborhood that we hadn't known was there. After shopping a a large indoor mall/bazaar, we decided to get an...

"Out beyond the idea of right thinking and wrong thinking there is a field. I will meet you there." Rumi Rie spotted this quote on the front of a coffee shop in Amman. I sometimes wonder how an old guy like me, who has spent years studying the thousands of ways humans mistreat one another, can remain a hopeful optimist. I know how naive it seems. But everywhere we have traveled we have met decent, friendly people. Here, in this very troubled part of the world, there is so much evidence of "my...

The alarm clock woke us at ten past one. Yup, ten past one. The early start has been at the back of our minds for, well, if not our whole time in India, then certainly the few days in Mumbai. While not exactly our preferred time to travel, the 5.15am Royal Jordanian flight was the only direct one from Mumbai to Amman. Thankfully, Cameron was an absolute poppet on the drive to the airport and chatted, almost chirped, all the way. Vernee and Rob, on the other hand .... For once, the obligatory ...

To be honest, we didn't know much about Jordan before we arrived so we were completely unprepared for our visit to Jerash, some 30km north of Amman. As we learnt, Jerash contains one of the largest and best preserved Roman sites in the world. At the hippodrome, which seated 15 000 in its heyday, there's a daily show in which members of the Jordanian Army and Police Force dress up as Roman soldiers, gladiators and charioteers. Jamileh lives in Jerash and knows absolutely everybody - her brothe...

... record for this back home). The house was large and in charge with an interior that was very nice although not American style at all. We might call it gaudy but here it is more normal style for middle class families as far as I understand. Let me say, this gathering began at 9:30 pm-ish and I think Adib dropped me off at 2:00 am PLUS he was going to hang out with other people! They all told me that Arab style is to stay up super late hanging out and then somehow ...

I got to Amman late morning, arived in some bus station god knows where and then went past all the ******** of there is no bus to the centre, there is no shared taxi blah blah blah. I got in a shared taxi to the centre, found the hostel without too much trouble and spent day one socialising with a cool new bunch of people including a whole load of peace core whatever the hell that is! They are hear for a big party for independance day (today) and we allwent ...

... today. We had a look in the couple of museums to the sides of the theaters which had clothes that they use to wear back in the day with jewelery and also mosaics. Yep this must be the centre of the world for Mosaics. Next we went up to the old castle which is all ruins on the top of a hill however they have a cool museum up there. It has artifacts way back to the stone age but the coolest thing there was the Dead Sea Scrolls. It had some of the leather ...

... to the one we had arrived at. It ended up these busses were a bit seedier, but were 10 EGP less (50 EGP) and some were even cheaper than that. We took the 8:00 pm bus, which would get us into Cairo around 2 or 3 in the morning. The trip back on the bus was much less eventful. We went through all of the police/military checkpoints much more easily, and were never even questioned for our passports by the police/military (compared to the ...

... a tip. Additionally, he said he could organize our trip to Wadi Rum, where we wanted to go jeep riding around to cool spots in the desert and sleep in a Bedouin camp, and he could arrange a taxi to take us there at noon the next day giving us a morning in Petra. I wasn't sure every price was the best, but it seemed pretty consistent with my research and there was no hassle. He also told me that I should go down to El Arabi restaurant and mention his name and we'd a ...

... two DVDs at 1 Jordanian Dinar each and after watching one of their movies, I would have to agree that the quality was top notch.<br><br>I wasn’t sure of what to do the next day so I asked the hostel staff for some advice. I let them know that I was traveling on a budget and they came up with the most economical plan. It turns out that there is a bus that the locals take that takes you straight to the Dead Sea for 3 Jordanian Dinars which is only ...
