 Jarash Festival by dr.firas
So Famous in Jordan!
Singers, Dancers, and show business famous persons!
It is like the Beit Al Din Festival in Lebanon and the Bousra Festival in Syria!
Each of those three countries has its own place for festivals.
The same idea, but local differences!
Also should say: any of the foreign groups which come to present in Middle East choose one of those three locations.
For example the Russian Ballet team came several times in the season of Festival to the three location I told you about! Leave a Comment

 The earlier mosaic in the
church of "Preacher John by TheWanderingCamel
There are several churches, mostly pretty ruined. There is a beautiful mosaic in the "Martyrs' Church" of Saints Lot and Procupius but there are also 2 specatcular mosaics in Preacher John's church which are less well known
One of the mosaics was placed above the other one which was completely covered and unknown until the newer one was removed for restoring. The figures on the older mosaic have thus escaped the iconoclasts. These mosaics are very attractive.
To get there you would need to take a taxi or hitch from the main road. The road to Khirbet al Mukhayat turns to the left a couple of kilometers from Madaba when going towards Mount Nebo. It's not very far.

 Mud Fun at Dead Sea by Arkeolog
Protect your eyes when you play in mud. It hurts...
The most impotant thing is in Dead Sea get relaxed and float. Sea will do everything for you :)

What a sensation, being drove in an old 4WD in that unique landscape. That lasted for only a couple of hours, but it was enough to feel the desert, the adventure of vehicles sunken in the sand, the relief and hospitality of a Bedouin tent, and the comfortable expectation of a shower and cold drinks waiting us at the hotel. And what a surprise, the happiness and joy of my wife, facing the wind under the burning sun. But life is hard there, even with the income from the tourists, so common that it is hard to get out of the "beaten path". Leave a Comment

 Wadi Rum by ElizabethSmith
Before we left the Wadi Rum area, the chief of Police insisted that we take tea with him in the rest house. (Very clean with all mod cons). He informed us that as the number of tourists was dwindling by the day, it was important that he speak to us all to maintain his language skills. It really puts us to shame, how many Chief Constables in England can speak Arabic, French, German, Spanish ?? Not many I think. We spent a leisurely hour learning about each others lives, jobs, and families before bidding farewell.
Next time we visit we will definately stay overnight as I feel we really missed out on a wonderful experience here.
Petra has it's man made wonders but Wadi Rum - built by God and loved by the Bedouin far surpasses the beauty of Petra. Leave a Comment
