<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>

<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>

<h4>Freshly picked olives</h4>

<p><a href="https://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>
