28 de Julho - Amman






Lets be honest: Amman isn't a city worth a visit for more than a few hours, specially if you are coming from Syria or another Middle Eastern country. Its a city short on historical hot spots and a big mess between a dirty downtown area and a (wanna be) modern and western ring area.


Still, we visited the Citadel with its Hercules temple and walked around its rings..been there, done that, lets go. Destination: Petra!!
(The normal path in Jordan would lead us to the dead sea but due to a leg burn not yet healed that mandatory trip had to be postponed)
Amman is rich in cheap hostels mainly in the downtown area. 5 euros per night per person is a reasonable deal.
