 Life in Jordan!!
« Thread Started on May 28, 2007, 9:46am »

hey everyone,
we have lived 2 years in Jordan and we go there to spend our summer vacation regulary! we had the greatest times living there... people are so very friendly.... I would like to tell u some of the must-see places there! Amman is the capital city and in night the city is so beautiful because there r alota mountains and on those mountains they built their houses so u can see lights lighten in night!! chk this: http://p.vtourist.com/1994209-Amman_at_night-Amman.jpg

'The Dead Sea'.. I remember when I went there, the water was so SALTY! and even water got in my eyes which hurt so much! anyways it was so much fun since u don't have to know how to swim to get in the water.. it'd just lift u up!

There's also Petra which I never got to see.. but it looks so beautiful! it was built probably 3000 years ago! chk it out: http://www.jordan-explorer.com/images/Photo-208200252313.jpg

There is also 'Ajloun Castle' which I got to visit and it was so high!! if u went to the roof of it u'd be able to see the dead see which was such a fabulous scene! http://www.atlastours.net/jordan/ajloun_castle.jpg

Do what ever that may lead you to your goal. Because it is your goal, then you must realize that it is within your power to achieve it. It is so close to coming true and you know it deep within. Wait for none and explain to none why or what! Just break free from this life and its barriers! The beautiful sun shine is there, you just have to see it. Look closely.....

I know now you're all hungry, they got a lot of good stuff, so if by any chance you went to Jordan, make sure to eat those stuff..
and I don't miss anything in jordan more that 'sandishat el batata' << (potato sandwich) it's soooooooo good

see this is the deadsea.. I just read that Jordan Ministry of water & Irrigation, said that the deadsea is threatened to be extinction in the 50 years to come, and if they don't make a channel with the red sea then the deadsea would be in a threat, and they're asking people in power who can do something to get involved and prevent this from happening.

facts about the 'dead sea':
- the reason they call it the 'deadsea' is because there's no life in it, no fish, sea animals, nothing because it's so salty that animals can't live in it..
- it is known as the earth's lowest point.
- Besides the unique water of the Dead Sea itself, there are also health spas and hot springs along the shore.
you can check this link for more information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea
check the pictures in that link..
