<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>

<h4>A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future.</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Ammanin thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years it was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in the past few decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Learn more about the wetlands on a trip with <a href="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> or <a href="http://experiencejordan.com/">Experience Jordan</a>, and <em>turn off the water in your shower or sink when you don&rsquo;t need it!</em></p>

<h4>A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future.</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Ammanin thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years it was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in the past few decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Learn more about the wetlands on a trip with <a href="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> or <a href="http://experiencejordan.com/">Experience Jordan</a>, and <em>turn off the water in your shower or sink when you don&rsquo;t need it!</em></p>

<h4>Just after sunrise at a camp in the Dana Biosphere</h4>

<p>A few weeks ago I slept in a tent on the cusp of Jordan&rsquo;s Rift Valley. <a href="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> has regular hiking and camping trips to the reserve and they are very affordable. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about nature conservation. Trips to this and other national parks are part of an impressive <a href="http://www.rscn.org.jo/">government effort</a> to preserve Jordan&rsquo;s natural spaces.</p>

<p>A few weeks ago I slept in a tent on the cusp of Jordan&rsquo;s Rift Valley. <a href="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> has regular hiking and camping trips to the reserve and they are very affordable. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about nature conservation. Trips to this and other national parks are part of an impressive <a href="http://www.rscn.org.jo/">government effort</a> to preserve Jordan&rsquo;s natural spaces.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Hussein_Mosque">King Hussein mosque</a> was built in 2005 and is the largest mosque in Jordan. I haven&rsquo;t visited it yet, but I&rsquo;ve spent quite a few evenings admiring it from a balcony in the <em>Khalda</em> neighborhood of West Amman.</p>

<p>The irony is rich with this one, because this mosque has a sound system from another planet. If I wasn&rsquo;t worried about my personal safety I&rsquo;d put up a sign right next to it saying: <em>Please mute your mosque, there is a sleeping Alan 50m away</em>.</p>

<h4>Sign forbidding sound near mosque on Rainbow Street, Amman</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The irony is rich with this one, because this mosque has a sound system from another planet. If I wasn&rsquo;t worried about my personal safety I&rsquo;d put up a sign right next to it saying: <em>Please mute your mosque, there is a sleeping Alan 50m away</em>.</p>

<p>Even if the number number of mosques in Amman <em>didn&rsquo;t</em> outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. It caught my eye once a few weeks ago and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafieh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself &ldquo;<em>Is that an Armenian church?</em>&rdquo; I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.</p>
