Salam!
After arriving in Amman Jordan we shared a taxi down to Petra with some new friends. One of the Seven wonders of the world really proved to be a real wonder, Petra was breath-taking! The ancient city was much bigger than expected and quite well preserved with many adventurous hikes and caves.
After a day of Indiana Jones action in Petra we decided to change setting and moved to Wadi Rum where Lawrence of Arabia took place (the real guy as well as the movie). Here, in the middle of the desert, we drove around in a 4×4 in the sanddunes and looked at amazing rock formations in the scolding sun. We spent the night sleeping in a bedouine tent camp under stars, fantastic experience. Jordan has so far lived far beyond our expectations with all the fun adventurous stuff to do.
After the desert experience we decided that some cooling water was badly needed so we continued south to the beach town of Aqaba, just a couple of hundred meters from Israel’s Eilat. We spent a couple of days snorkeling in the amazingly clear water and saw and ate really nice fishes =)
Right now we are back in Amman where we are relaxing for a few days before we set off to Israel and Jerusalem. So far Jordan has been fantastic and we really recommend anyone going here if you want to have an awesome experience in the Middle East.
