Madaba
Madaba was my last stop on my trip to Jordan. Although I didn’t see much of it (because I arrived late in the afternoon and had to leave the next morning) it seemed like a very nice town. What stroke me is its chilled out and relaxing atmosphere. People are sitting on roofs and terraces […]

I was surprised by how many conservative Jordanians spend their vacation in Aquaba. The beach is full of women with head scarf that go […]
