Travel: The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

December 7, 2009 - No Comments by Brian - Travel

I’ve always had a fascination with the Middle East and had the opportunity to travel to Jordan and Egypt in December 2007 through January 2008. I had my apprehensions of traveling on my own especially landing in Jordan at 2am, taking a cab and trying to make my way to a hotel in Amman, haha good times! However, it was one of the most educational, enlightening and spiritual trips I’ve taken so far. Below are a few highlights from Jordan. -Brian
