We flew from Berlin to Amman- Jordan. We traveled at modern buses with a guide/driver. Our route was Amman, Jerash, Ajloun , Petra , Dead Sea. On the way we experienced architectural, archaeological, historical and cultural places: noble mosques, interesting museums, ancient castle, unique ruins, stone paths, the lowest point on earth with mineral salty water at Dead sea. Also we went to see how nomads live in their tents. Before our trip we got a lot of warnings and surprising comments on Jordanians' hostility toward Westerners. Anyhow in every city, town and village we felt ourselves very welcome and every person was polite and hospitable to us. Our guide was the best possible guide. His knowledge of Jordan, the past and the present is enormous and his driving style is convincing, A trip with him was like a trip with a friend not with a formal guide. From my experience, http://libertytourism.com/Programs.html is one of the best tours at Jordan where all you may need and ask on one place.

More pictures :-) Funny note- we went to that exact baptism site too - was there still a tractor on the Israeli side as they're doing construction? You take awesome photos thanks for sharing again! Love to all & I can't wait to hear your amazing stories. Yay!

I feel ready for a dip in the Jordon myself! Greetings to Micah and Jenn, and Wyn! It’s thrilling that you’re getting to do and see all this. I feel ready for a dip in the Jordon myself!
