My first day in AMMAN, JORDAN 🇯🇴 عَمَّان

I spend my first day in Amman, the capital city of Jordan. I take a walk through downtown before heading up to the citadel, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding metropolis. I then try falafel at Hashem Restaurant followed by the country's national dish, Mansaf. I finish things by going to see the Instagrammable Rainbow Street.

Windswept and magnificent, this valley is home to a surprising...
