Amman

Amman

Lance Cogburn
Amman is a fairly modern city with ancient roots. The city is built on seven hills, like every great city should be. It is one of the cleanest and neatest cities in the Arab world. These hills sometimes make it a bit hard to get around, but since taxis are not expensive and always near, you will never really get lost. Male passengers should sit in the front seat beside the driver. It's a great way to find out about the city, too.

In the heart of the city is the Roman theater. The theater is really beautiful, there is a nice park nearby, there are Internet cafes and shops in the street that passes the theater and there is a McDonalds right on the spot. This is the place to be!

Scattered around town are quite a few other sights, some going back to Roman times, others to the heyday of the Islamic civilization.

Amman has the best archeological museum in Jordan and in a country with so many antiquities that is something to be proud of.

One of the best highlights of this city is the friendliness of everyone you meet. Don't be shocked when you hear the world "welcome" with a big smile in every shop or place you visit. The Ammanians are proud of their city and country and they are always happy to greet visitors and make them feel at home. And you will always feel safe walking the streets - day or night.

Steep hills in some Amman neighborhoods

Steep hills in some Amman neighborhoods

Kim Malkawi

Some of the sections in Amman have very steep hills and homes are built atop these. There are stairs leading to each level for shorter access roots. Be sure to wear a good pair of walking shoes as you explore the architecture of the city.

Although there are many extremes when it comes to homes in Amman. Everything from the very wealthy to the poorest of poor. All have their own unique beauty. The warmth of a Jordanian home is no less or greater because of the size or expense. You will always be treated with kindness and respect and courtesy and given the best of everything when you are a guest in a Jordanian home. Treating others with such care and consideration is the pride of Jordan.

____________Getting Around

Hiking in Ajloun



The Ajloun Nature Reserve is a well-connected site for hiking. The RSCN, Wild Jordan and the full-time staff at the reserve have recently come together and formulated different trails for visitors interested in having a hiking holiday in Ajloun.

Bungalows and cabins

There are fully equipped tented bungalows and newly made cabins at the campsite for those interested, and can take a hiking holiday while enjoying the lush woodlands.

The campsite has a fully eqipped restaurant, so no worries there with plenty of food and hot showers so hikers can concentrate on enjoying the trails around the 12-kilomer reserve which was established in northern Jordan in 1989.

Five Trails

There are five trails: A short trail just beyond the campsite and back; there is the Soap-makers Trail which is a 6-7 kilometer hike, its clearly marked so visitors can walk on their own or have a guide with them; there is the 12-kilometer Village Orchards Trail of hiking between local villages; and the Prophet's Trail, an 8.5 kilometer hike that starts from the Visitor's Center through woods, crossing roads, hills more woods and valleys till you reach Prophet Eligha's monument on a distant hill-top.

These trails have been developed for international visitors who believe in eco-tourism and want to hike through different environmental terrains. Its well worthwhile a holiday for those who want to get away from city life and want the piece and quite of the environment.

At the Ajloun Nature reserves there is lots and lots of oak, pistachio and wild strawberry trees on uneven and hilly grounds that can be strenous at times, but very reinvograting at times.

The twists and turns of the trails, the hikes between thick foilage, open space, tufts under your feet as well as stones and rocks makes the walking particularly exciting especially because of the downhill, uphill and walks on an uneven ground in between the panoramic woodlands.

Wild life

During daylight animals like badgers, foxes and wild boars are difficult to find and there are four types of snakes in the reserve that are non-poison.

Criss-crossing villages

These trails have especially been made to criss-cross local villages to show the interaction between nature, the wildlife and the local community. On the Soap-maker's Trail for instance, hikers can be received at the Soap-Makers House where traditional soap-making is made.

Helping the community

There are 6 villages around this trail, and a good few are employed in the Soap Workshop that produces other fragarents such as fruit soaps, lavender and pomegrante which can be sold to visitors, the shop at the reserve or in other RSCN outlets in Amman and around the country.

Prophet's Trail

The Prophet's Trail is a rambling excercise of landscapes, woodlands, and villages crossing asphalted roads. There is a donkey on this trail that carries water bottles and light refreshments for the harsh terrains of foot digging and foot grips you encounter while on different parts of the trail.

If you leave the campsite at 8 in the morning you can be sure to get to Tel Mar Elias by 12:30 and have a good rest. On all these long hikes, a bus can pick you up on different points in the trails.

This trail can go right up till the Ajloun Castle which is another 4-hour walk.
