&lt;p&gt;While not &lt;em&gt;technically&lt;/em&gt; in Jordan, Jerusalem&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_of_the_Rock&#34;&gt;Dome of the Rock&lt;/a&gt; is basically just a stone&amp;rsquo;s throw away from Amman (pun intended). Not only is this shrine capped with a golden dome, covered in vibrant Ottoman-era tilework, and adorned with elegant Arabic calligraphy, it also boasts an &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_Stone&#34;&gt;impressive resume of sacred claims to fame&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;The Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The shrine, built nearly 1,000 years ago, stands atop a hotly contested complex called the &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Mount&#34;&gt;Temple Mount&lt;/a&gt; (&amp;ldquo;Noble Sanctuary&amp;rdquo; in Arabic) that dates back to the Canaanites several thousand years ago — like I said, an impressive resume!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a secular person it&amp;rsquo;s all a bit too heavy for my taste, but there&amp;rsquo;s no doubt that the complex is stunningly beautiful. Visitation of the Temple Mount is open to the non-Muslim public from 7:30 to 11:00 AM from the access bridge at the Western Wall in the Jewish Quarter of the old city.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>The Grandeur of Petra</title>

&lt;p&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s an old Syrian man who does this fantastic hand painting on wood panels in Amman. A few flats in our building have them installed on the ceiling, but this one takes the cake. I&amp;rsquo;m not sure if it&amp;rsquo;s typical for the region or not — the man was referencing pictures from a Russian art book — but they are exquisite.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Billboard in Amman cautions against using your phone while driving&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;rsquo;t even read Arabic but I&amp;rsquo;m pretty sure that billboard is telling people to &lt;em&gt;put their fucking phones down while driving&lt;/em&gt;. It&amp;rsquo;s like an epidemic here. I&amp;rsquo;ve never seen people look less at the road while driving than here in Amman.&lt;/p&gt;
