I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.
Amman is the one of the most relaxed cities in the Middle east that I have visited. This time, I just wondered around the city centre and visited the places I enjoyed the most. https://videopress.com/v/9Qe8jpWq?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata Most people come here to visit other sites, such as Petra, the Dead Sea, and many other attractions. Amman, the... Continue Reading →
The Amphitheatre in Amman is a very interesting place to visit. It is a 6,000-seat, 2nd-century Roman theatre. I was there briefly when visiting the city. A famous landmark in the Jordanian capital, it dates back to the Roman period when the city was known as Philadelphia. On the top of the theatre you have a nice view of the... Continue Reading →
The Dead Sea has a border with Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. It is a salt lake whose banks are more than 400m below sea level, the lowest point on dry land. I went to the Jordanian side, and it was quite impressive to be so low under sea level. Its famously hyper-saline water... Continue Reading →

Tehran is the capital of Iran. It is the most liberal and secular city in Iran. The traffic is crazy, and it's... Continue Reading →
If you are looking for a summer holiday in the Middle East, now you have found it. Tel Aviv has a beautiful coast line. For your sand-filled pleasure, spend the day like a local sweating through an intense matkot session, play some volleyball on the Gordon Beach strip, or just lay down and soak up the...

A long time ago, before all the trouble in Syria started, we did a road trip to Damascus from Lebanon. Nowadays that is not possible as the borders are closed due to conflicts in Syria. I do hope that all the problems are resolved soon. It is a beautiful country with a lot of great... Continue Reading →
Beirut is often referred to as the Paris of the Middle East, and for me it is. The capital of Lebanon, it's a great city for shopping socialising, and sightseeing. Despite being through a civil war and unrest, the city has been rebuilt several times, with modern architecture sharing space with Ottoman and colonial French... Continue Reading →
