<p>These days there isn&rsquo;t much to see of the Greco–Roman city of Pella in northwestern Jordan. Sadly, the ancient ruins here suffer from being slightly smaller, slightly less well-preserved, and slightly less convenient to visit than the similar ruins at <a href="/2017/04/greco-roman-ruins-jerash/">Jerash</a>. With a bit of imagination and some historical background, however, they are equally enchanting and even have a unique character of their own.</p>
<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>There is a popular notion that cleanliness is an important part of the Islamic faith, though you wouldn&rsquo;t know it from walking around Jordan. I have never seen people throw coffee cups, half-eaten sandwiches, tissues, etc on the street so carelessly — and often times with such <em>finesse</em> — as here in Jordan.</p>
<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 delicious — including the humongous, flame-kissed flatbread that would be almost as fascinating to see being made as it was to eat.</p>

<p>There are apparently two arches built around 130 CE to honor Roman Emperor Hadrian—one in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Hadrian_(Athens)">Athens</a> and one in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Hadrian_(Jerash)">Jerash</a>. The former is undoubtedly more studied, but the latter is objectively more beautiful! Maybe it&rsquo;s the color of the stones in the afternoon light, the unconventional architectural features, or just the sheer size of it.</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>
