Easily one of the most unique buildings in Amman Even if the number number of mosques in Amman didn&rsquo;t 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;Is that an Armenian church?&rdquo; I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.

Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling There&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&rsquo;m not sure if it&rsquo;s typical for the region or not — the man was referencing pictures from a Russian art book — but they are exquisite.

Everybody likes baklava! There&rsquo;s a shop in one of Amman&rsquo;s downtown markets that sells traditional sweets. I&rsquo;m not sure who was more excited about this half kilo of baklawa — me, or the jovial young Jordanian selling it.

A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future. There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in 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.

Just after sunrise at a camp in the Dana Biosphere A few weeks ago I slept in a tent on the cusp of Jordan&rsquo;s Rift Valley. Wild Jordan 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 government effort to preserve Jordan&rsquo;s natural spaces.

Easily one of the most unique buildings in Amman Even if the number number of mosques in Amman didn&rsquo;t 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;Is that an Armenian church?&rdquo; I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.

Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling There&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&rsquo;m not sure if it&rsquo;s typical for the region or not — the man was referencing pictures from a Russian art book — but they are exquisite.

Easily one of the most unique buildings in Amman Even if the number number of mosques in Amman didn&rsquo;t 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;Is that an Armenian church?&rdquo; I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.

Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling There&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&rsquo;m not sure if it&rsquo;s typical for the region or not — the man was referencing pictures from a Russian art book — but they are exquisite.

Everybody likes baklava! There&rsquo;s a shop in one of Amman&rsquo;s downtown markets that sells traditional sweets. I&rsquo;m not sure who was more excited about this half kilo of baklawa — me, or the jovial young Jordanian selling it.

Just after sunrise at a camp in the Dana Biosphere A few weeks ago I slept in a tent on the cusp of Jordan&rsquo;s Rift Valley. Wild Jordan 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 government effort to preserve Jordan&rsquo;s natural spaces.

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

Sign forbidding sound near mosque on Rainbow Street, Amman The irony is rich with this one, because this mosque has a sound system from another planet.

A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future. There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in 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.
