<p>Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman. Just like the <a href="https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/">other hand-painted wood ceiling</a> I posted about two weeks ago, the work was done by an old Syrian man. This one is actually in my flat, and I may or may not have taken this picture while laying on my back on the living room floor.</p>

<p>There&rsquo;s a unique wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman. In just thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years Azraq was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in recent decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.</p>

<p>There&rsquo;s a shop in Amman&rsquo;s main market downtown that sells traditional Arabic sweets. I&rsquo;m not sure who was more excited about this half-kilogram of baklava (which is called &ldquo;<em>baklawa</em>&rdquo; in Arabic)me, or the jovial young Jordanian selling it.</p>
