Jordan offers a lot to people who are not into history.<\/h5>\n

But to people who are, it’s like Disneyland. While my poor partner just wanted to eat the food, I just wanted to eat the architecture. Jordan is not just Petra; this piece of land has been continuously occupied since the Paleolithic era, and I found myself wandering around fascinating sites just about every day.\u00a0 Ottoman, Roman, Biblical, Byzantine, Crusader, Nabataean, Arabic and other cultures all left their mark.<\/p>\n

Of course, most people don’t give a toss about any of that, so the video I made of our two-week trip will\u00a0leave them asking: but what was the food like?<\/p>\n

All I can say is the scenery, the lovely people, the ease of travel, and, yes, the food, are good enough reasons to recommend Jordan.<\/p>\n

Also, you can stand on an old steam train in the middle of the desert and pretend you are Lawrence of Arabia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1776943004239{background-color: #F4EFE8 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n
