In Jordan Now

Written by Neil Galloway

Well, my blog has still very few updates. I will be gone until the end of July. Right now I am sitting in an internet cafe at my hotel in Petra, Jordan.

If you want to read more, go check out neilgalloway.com where I am updating more often with postings for friends and family.

I will, of course, write some more extensive articles on my travel experiences over here when I get back.

We “me and family” made a trip to Petra in Jordan in April 2007. it was a piece of art and fabulous.
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.

This is really nice place. I have visited Petra once, but only for a while in businesstrip. You can learn much about the history of this place only by walking around
