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.

A review of Rainbow Camp, Wadi Rum: Why it’s the best place to stay

25th October 2022 by Twins that Travel

As part of our TTT Tour to Jordan, we had (of course) to make the trip to the otherworldly Wadi Rum. Having already spent time in Amman and the unbelievable ancient city of Petra, Wadi Rum was next on our list; a vast, red expanse known as the ‘Valley of the Moon’. Importantly, Wadi Rum is not a desert, but a valley (‘wadi’ meaning valley in Arabic). As such, it is hemmed in by towering sandstone hills and granite cliffs. Windswept and magnificent, this valley is home to a surprising...
