<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 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>

<h4>A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing soon.</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>There&rsquo;s a unique 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 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></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>Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>There&rsquo;s an old Syrian man who does this fantastic hand painting on wood panels in Amman. Three 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 notthe man was referencing pictures from a Russian art bookbut they are exquisite.</p>

<p>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 <em>baklawa</em> — me, or the jovial young Jordanian selling it.</p>

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

<h4>Billboard in Amman cautions against using your phone while driving</h4>

</figure>
<p>I can&rsquo;t even read Arabic but I&rsquo;m pretty sure that billboard is telling people to <em>put their fucking phones down while driving</em>. It&rsquo;s like an epidemic here. I&rsquo;ve never seen people look less at the road while driving than here in Amman.</p>

<p>As Muslims around the world are busy wishing each other a blessed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha">Eid al-Adha</a>, some poor bastard has to clean up this lazily discarded sheep carcass from my local dumpster (note the entrails spilled below). Keep it classy, Jordan.</p>

<h4>Amman&#39;s King Hussein mosque at night</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<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>

<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>

<h4>Easily one of the most unique buildings in Amman</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Even if the 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. The unique architecture caught my eye once 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 scavenger hunt and found it.</p>

<h4>A picturesque view where you can&#39;t see the trash on the beach</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>I&rsquo;m struggling to find words to describe my trip to Jordan&rsquo;s coastal city Aqaba. Initially, the contrast between dry desert, rocky mountains, and the turquoise water of the Red Sea is visually strikingimagine Matt Damon in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martian_(film)"><em>The Martian</em></a>, but where he goes snorkeling on a coral reef instead of growing potatoes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If that sounds too good to be true, it is! Sadly, I found Aqaba to be dirtyused diapers on the beach, locals arrogantly throwing trash on the street, trash floating around the reef, etcand full of obnoxious, poorly behaved tourists.</p>

<h4>Beautiful mosque by the sea, surrounded by palm trees</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The best way to describe the Sheikh Zayed mosque would be &ldquo;the pearl of Aqaba.&rdquo; There is a lot to love about this picturesque mosque by the Jordanian seaside, but its crown jewelto continue the analogyis the impeccable Arabic calligraphy inlaid in its facade. Sadly, Aqaba itself <a href="/2016/10/aqaba-dirty-disappointing/">isn&rsquo;t much to write home about</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Originally built in 1975, the mosque was refurbished in 2010 as part of a larger <a href="http://www.marsazayed.com/">effort to revitalize the Red Sea port city</a> and was modeled after the <a href="http://www.szgmc.gov.ae/en/">Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque</a> in Abu Dhabi.</p>

<h4>Simple, rustic design fuses traditional objects with new styles</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The <a href="http://jordanriver.jo">Jordan River Foundation</a> has a showroom on Rainbow Street where they <em>brilliantly</em> showcase traditional, everyday objects from the region in a fresh, modern way. It&rsquo;s like someone went and replaced all the things in your grandma&rsquo;s rural kitchen with newer, brightly accented ones. All of the wood, cloth, and clay work here is produced by people in local communities, and, as far as I know, the proceeds from sales go back to supporting them.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I commend the <a href="http://www.qrf.org/">Queen Rania Foundation</a> for another seriously impressive initiative. Keep up the good work!</p>

<h4>Freshly picked olives</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p><a href="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> has an ingenious day trip where you pay <em>them</em> to take <em>you</em> to pick olives on a farm in Ajlounthe family who owns the farm even comes out to watch you and give you tips!Like I said: genius. Jokes aside, it was actually a lot of fun, and the point is to educate you about the olive harvest and its importance to people in the region.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The olive harvest usually starts around October or November. One of the major factors deciding when exactly to start the harvest is rain, as wet olives apparently produce more oil. In addition to olive oil itself, people in the community make a few food and beauty products from the olives and sell them through community owned and operated enterprises like the Soap House and the Biscuit House. You can <a href="http://wildjordan.com/content/ajloun-forest-reserve-1">find out more</a> on the Wild Jordan website.</p>

<h4>All the multi-colored rice you can eat</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>You haven&rsquo;t lived until you and your friends have eaten seventeen different colors of rice, meat, and sauces while sitting on the floor at the <em>Bab al-Yemen</em> restaurant in Amman. If my experience is anything to go by, every item on the menu is downright deliciousincluding the humongous, flame-kissed flatbread that would be almost as fascinating to see being made as it was to eat.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabataeans">Nabataeans</a> were a tribe who became filthy rich on the trade of frankincense, myrrh, and spices in the Arabian peninsula around 2,000 years ago. They built Petra as the capital of their flourishing civilization. Hauntingly beautiful stone facades standing one hundred meters tall are amazingly intact and well preserved to this day.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Evolutionary biologist J. B. S. Haldane once said that &ldquo;the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we <em>can</em> suppose,&rdquo; alluding to the fact that physical sciences often raise more questions than they answer, leaving us scratching our heads. After visiting Petra I was overwhelmed with a similar feeling, that Petra is not only grander than we suppose, but grander than we <em>can</em> suppose. What I would give to have seen it in its time!</p>

<h4>A small portion of kanafeh at a restaurant in Amman</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>I&rsquo;m ashamed to say that it took me almost one month to discover this sweet, cheesy dessert after moving to Jordan. Originally from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nablus">Nablus</a>, a Palestinian city apparently known for &ldquo;high cuisine,&rdquo; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanafeh">kanafeh</a> is one of those things that they just can&rsquo;t make fast enough. At one famous shop called Habibah in downtown Amman there is always a line, and it&rsquo;s even a bit stressful ordering there unless you know what you&rsquo;re doing!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Another good place to buy kanafeh is at a sweets shop called Nafeesah. Both it and Habibah have several shops around the city, but I&rsquo;m still not sure which one is better.</p>
