I haven’ t visited it yet, but I’ ve spent quite a few evenings admiring it from a balcony in the < em > Khalda< / em > neighborhood of West Amman.< / p >

< p > Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman. Just like the < a href = "/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/" > other hand-painted wood ceiling< / a > I posted about a few 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 >
