JordanKat found a posh hotel having a soft opening. It's the Al Manara and so far it's perfect.
JordanWe went back into Petra to check out the Royal Tombs and the Great Temple.
JordanIt's a tough climb to the Monastery in Petra, but it's really worth it!
Jordan"Discovered" by Europeans in 1812, this site is listed among the seven new wonders of the ancient world. Actually the whole site is incredible (and a triumph of plumbing). The most famous part is surely the Treasury (actually a tomb), made famous in Indiana Jones.
JordanThe mosaics on Mount Nebo have been a bit of a highlight for me. There are some at Madaba too but they're not quite as impressive.
JordanI've always wondered what's really special about this. "Oh, Jos, it's weird, it's water but you float in it". But that's just like all water. Anyway we went here and can confirm: it's weird.
JordanWe visited Jerash, aka Antioch. It's pretty big, very impressive columns and a great theatre.
JordanWe started in Amman with brunch at Shams El Balad, then climbed the hill to the Citadel, before retiring to the Amman Pasha hotel (next to the Amphitheatre) for shandy. There was a torotoise running about the place.
