  • 粉红色的沙漠 走近了沙漠，我有了一个发现—还珠格格里香妃和她的男朋友在沙漠里幽会谈恋爱的故事是瞎编的！满天的红沙，拍在电视，电影里的确浪漫，可是真的走在沙漠里，烫脚的沙却让你不想在那里逗留一下。而如果他们在沙漠接吻，后果是严重的-满嘴的沙，说不定就把牙给咯了！而如果想玩沙丘滑板，要先爬上烫人的沙坡不说，往下滑的时候阻力还特别大，试过的团友们都说这一趟沙坡爬的真不值得。 [i Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 4, 2009
  • Petra - 约旦的古城 既然土耳其，叙利亚都有古城，约旦怎么地也应该来凑个热闹。不过和以往的几个不同，约旦的古城花了大力气建造皇帝的坟地和教堂，却不见民居和市集。而且在规模和高度上都是有过之而无不及。 走入一个小道，左右两边都是白来米高的巨石。整座城就是在巨石里凿出来的。 [img=http://photos.travellerspoint.com/211584/20090803_088.jp Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 3, 2009
  • 死海，我来了！ 很想不通为什么人们叫死海为海，其大小还比不过一个钱塘江，水面也很平静，最多也就算的上一个"江”吧。不过如果海的定义是按照盐分的多少，那么它肯定是首当其冲的。 车子沿着盘山公路缓缓而下，地上的植被也多了很多。海对岸的以色列也越来越清晰了。 Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 2, 2009
  • Mount Nebo - 约旦的第一个晚上 车子开出叙利亚的首都杜马斯加斯，我们继续往南走。没过3，4个小时，我们就到了约旦的边界。还是一样的沙漠穆斯林的国家，路边的风景并没有二至。 当我在车里一觉醒来的时候，车里已经挺稳了。张开眼睛，我不知道自己是不是到了世界的边缘。 我们在山顶，周围是起伏的小山丘，光秃秃的，一毛不拔，也许我们在沙漠的中心吧。可是当我的眼睛继续往前移动的时候，我却看到了海（后来知道这个就是世界闻名的死海，海的对面就是以色列）。再往前看，又是连绵的山。夕阳下的如此景致让人觉得自己是在梦境，或又是在仙境。 [img=h Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 1, 2009
  • Sue is fit Through all the climbing, walking, swimming, running, carrying, and staying awake challenges we've had on this trip, Sue has kept up with me or pulled ahead. I'm impressed and pleased, and made the right decision of travel partner and Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 2, 2009
  • Jeep Safari in Wadi Rum We went on a desert safari in old Toyota Land Cruisers. What we saw was camels, rock carvings, and sand of different colors. Desert and some history. The truck ride itself was less exciting than we were Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 3, 2009
  • Bush camp in Jordan desert; Flogging a dead horse After a day of driving we settled into a bush camp. A bush camp involves just camping outside without facilities - no showers and the washrooms are defined as 'girls on this side, boys on that side, use the Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 3, 2009
  • Petra The ancient city of Petra is, in my opinion, overrated. It's cool for the amount of buildings carved into caves and the sheer size of some of the buildings, but there is a lot of walking and if not Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Aug 1, 2009
  • Floating in the Dead Sea Pulling up to the dead sea, we see what seem to be stationary waves cresting on the beach. Actually these are salt deposits, few of which break when stepped on. [img=http://photos.trav Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 31, 2009
  • Jordan's Big Two - Jarash & Petra I was all hyped up on Jordan. The people were warm, like their weather, the food was filling and fattening and fried (delicious), and the history was so rich I couldn't wrap my head (even with a Keffiyeh) around it.

  • The Abbasi and Me From the lush humid terrain of Thailand to the straight-up desert of Jordan, things had changed. The eight hour flight from Bangkok traveled through four time zones, putting me on the ground at the airport outside of Amman, Jordan at Posted by triptime in Izzy's Blogsite | Jul 16, 2009
  • Jordan: Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea Like most people, we originally planned Petra, Jordan as a side trip from Egypt, but it turned out to be one of our favorite countries. It's got incredible landscape, very traveler-friendly infrastructure, and the people are genuinely nice. View of Posted by jhongny in While We Are Out... | May 17, 2009
  • Staying connected in the air I promised Nicole that I would limit posts on airplanes and related topics, but I thought this was one worth mentioning. Noticed the below indicator on one of our flights on Royal Jordanian. In case you don't figure it out, Posted by jkirsch in Around the World with Jake and Nicole | Apr 23, 2009
  • Another day, another desert Desert-haters, beware: Jordan is not the vacation destination for you. It seems like 90% of the country is vast, dry, uninhabited - and yet, for the most part, eerily beautiful - desert.

Though it might not be confirmed in the historical record, I'm sure they would have made efforts to capture similar sunset scenes as Posted by jkirsch in Around the World with Jake and Nicole | Apr 19, 2009
  • Jordan and Sinai Well we weren’t going to stay in Egypt for the whole 6 weeks so we escaped to the east in search of Jordan. Escape meaning an 8 hour taxi to the Israeli border for a ½ hour taxi to the Posted by jamienrach in Jamie'n'Rach | Feb 17, 2009
  • Petra, Jordan The site of Petra, which was the home of the Nabateans from 300 BC to after 100 AD (in 106 they were annexed to the Roman empire), is gorgeous site within a canyon. This is where some of the Posted by lmgilly in Leanne in Egypt | Feb 10, 2009
  • Made it to Amman, Jordan I wasn't quite sure if we were going to make it to Amman in one piece because as the plane was taxi-ing to the runaway, we heard some strange sounds. The pilot "pulled over" and announced that there was Posted by lmgilly in Leanne in Egypt | Feb 8, 2009

  • Going to the Mall At the moment I'm hanging out in Mecca...Mall (http://www.meccamall.jo/en). Drinking a capuccino (sometimes turkish coffee just doesn't do it) and using the wireless internet. Eid is tomorrow - this means both Mecca and Mecca Mall are full of Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | Nov 10, 2008
  • Home Sweet Home I’m Back…in Jordan Didya know I was actually having doubts about returning to Jordan? California was SO luxurious. Perfect weather, surreal fairytale towns. Really really. SURREAL. Colors overly vivid. Cute little plants everywhere. And the Posted by jenofear in Jen's Blog | Oct 6, 2008
  • Jordan We realized we needed to get out of Cairo to maintain our sanity and because the India visa took so much time, we had to change our original plan which was to go to Alexandria and the Siwa Oasis. Posted by cleichter in Will and Carina's Travel Adventures | Nov 4, 2008
  • "Life is a big school!" "Life is a big school", said Akran the taxi driver as he ferried me from Qatar Airways office back to the Cameo Hotel (which I wouldn't recommend). He didn’t realise how pertinent his statement was, but with the series of Posted by Estebaan in Reis van de Nautilidae | Oct 21, 2008
