Street Food Heaven in Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴 (so cheap)
YO GUYS, WELCOME TO AMMAN - THE CAPITAL OF JORDAN! On my second day in Amman, I tried some of the best & cheapest street food places in Amman. The first one is Salaheddine Bakery.

Wadi Arab Dam & Umm Qays | Northmost Part of Jordan | EcoHikersJO | Irbid, Jordan
Hello Folks,
This video is about a trip I took with an adventure travel group present in Jordan known by the name of Eco Hikers.
This trip was a one-day itinerary to the Northmost part of Jordan, with a hike to the Wadi Arab Dam and exploring the historical site of Umm Qays, ending up at a local house trying traditional cuisine.
This group came up with a pretty good concept of cleaning alongside hikes, making this world a better place. Kudos to that.
The Overall Trip Cost was around 18 JD (inclusive of everything)

JordanالأردنAmmanعَمّانVisit-1
this informative video is shared for public,trave Jordan الأردن Amman visit-1.Amman Arabic: عَمّان amman pronounced is the capital and largest city of Jordan and the country's economic, political and cultural center With a population of 4,007,526, Amman is the largest city in the Levant region and the fifth-largest city in the Arab world.it is considered to be among the most modernized Arab cities and a major tourist destination.amman, the capital of Jordan, is a modern city with numerous ancient ruins. Atop Jabal al-Qala’a hill, the historic Citadel includes the pillars of the Roman Temple of Hercules and the 8th-century Umayyad Palace complex, known for its grand dome. Built into a different downtown hillside, the Roman Theater is a 6,000-capacity, 2nd-century stone amphitheater offering occasional events.
The earliest evidence of settlement in Amman is in a Neolithic site known as 'Ain Ghazal, where some of the oldest human statues ever found dating to 7250 BC were uncovered. During the Iron Age, the city was known as Ammon, home to the Kingdom of the Ammonites. It was named Philadelphia during its Greek and Roman periods, and was finally called Amman during the Islamic period. For much of the early and middle Islamic periods (7th–14th centuries) it served as a center for the Balqa district of Syria. Afterward Amman was a largely abandoned site until the late 19th century when Circassian immigrants were settled there by the Ottoman Empire in 1878. The first municipal council was established in 1909.[9] Amman witnessed rapid growth after its designation as trans jordan's capital in 1921, and after several successive waves of refugees: Palestinians in 1948 and 1967; Iraqis in 1990 and 2003; and Syrians since 2011. It was initially built on seven hills but now spans over 19 hills combining 27 districts, which are administered by the Greater Amman Municipality headed by its mayor Yousef Shawarbeh. Areas of Amman have gained their names from either the hills (Jabal) or the valleys (Wadi) they occupy, such as Jabal Lweibdeh and Wadi Abdoun. East Amman is predominantly filled with historic sites that frequently host cultural activities, while West Amman is more modern and serves as the economic center of the city.
Approximately two million visitors arrived in Amman in 2014, which made it the 93rd most visited city in the world and the 5th most visited Arab city. Amman has a relatively fast growing economy, & it is ranked Beta on the global city index. Moreover, it was named one of the Middle East and North Africa's best cities according to economic, labor, environmental, and sociocultural factors.The city is among the most popular locations in the Arab world for multinational corporations to set up their regional offices, alongside Doha and only behind Dubai. It is expected that in the next 10 years these three cities will capture the largest share of multinational corporation activity in the region.kmho vlog

What to Do in Jordan|An Introduction to the Hashemite Kingdom| Travel with Tani #travel #withme

Who’s Afraid of a Kick A$$ Solo Trip??? An Introductory Guide to Jordan for Female/All Travelers
Is it safe? Do you have to cover your head? These are normally the first questions that I am asked after I tell someone that I took a solo trip to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Yes, Jordan is considerably safe and no, it is not a requirement for you to cover your head for religious reasons. My trip, in September, to the Kingdom of Jordan was actually my second independent endeavor to this paradise of red sand. So, I am more than happy to share the must-sees and the must do’s of the desert Kingdom of Jordon.
The Must-Sees
1. If you are staying in Jordan for at least three days and plan to explore, I recommend purchasing the Jordan Pass. The Jordan pass will save you money and includes your visa fee of $56 and the entry costs to a variety of tourist attractions.
2. The seaside town of Aqaba is a snorkeler’s and diver’s paradise. Aqaba sits on the Red Sea in the southern part of the Jordan and is ideal for water enthusiasts. If you need a hotel recommendation for Aqaba, I stayed at the Al Manara, a Luxury Collection, which is part of the Marriott family.
3. After you explore Aqaba, the next stop is the Wadi Rum Protected Area. During the day you can explore Wadi Rum with a local and knowledgeable Bedouin guide. A four-hour tour will provide ample exploration time and the tour will conclude with an amazing sunset. Spending the night at a Bedouin Camp will be the climax to an exhilarating day. I stayed at the Memories Aicha Luxury Camp. The service, staff, and food were all impeccable.
4. The next stop along the Jordan trek is the “Rose City” of Petra. Petra is the 2000-year-old Nabatean city carved from pink sandstone in the Jordanian desert. Petra is only a 45-minute drive from the Wadi Rum Protected Area. I do suggest that you stay a night near Petra so you can do the sunrise tour and explore the tombs, caves, and temples before the heat commences.
5. Once you have done all of this exploring from the Red Sea and through the desert, you will definitely need to relax! The Dead Sea in the northern part of Jordan is a perfect end to an extraordinary adventure. You can take a day or two to float in the mineral-filled sea and then enjoy the multitude of spa options in the area.
The Must Do’s
1. You are not required to cover your head, but one should respect the culture and dress modestly. Remember that your shoulders and legs must be covered to enter places of worship in this region and around the globe.
2. Do not forget to register with your government’s embassy before your travel. And while you are on vacation, stay abreast of current events in the country to avoid unexpected situations. For United States’ citizens, the link is
3. It is a good plan to keep a copy of your passport in your luggage and email yourself a digital copy as well.
4. When taking a taxi, you should confirm the cost before you ride. The upfront confirmation will alleviate later misunderstandings about the price.
5. Stay clear of large public gatherings, protests, and demonstrations. Always be aware of your surroundings, keep an eye on your belongings, do not announce that you are a solo traveler, and be respectful and kind to police and military officials.
Yes, Jordan is in a tough neighborhood and the block is definitely hot! But there is always that one neighbor who will pick up your Amazon Prime packages, keep an eye on your house while you are on vacation, and even feed your cat. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is that hospitable neighbor in the Middle East and will magically float, dive, and trek your worries away in a sea of culture.
Happy travels! Stay safe and explore like a Boss!
