If you're looking to explore the Middle East for the first time, Amman Jordan is
the perfect destination. Amman the modern and ancient capital of Jordan is one of
the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
Almost half of Jordans population is concentrated in Amman. It's often a pit
stop on the way to Petra but there are enough old and new flavors here in Amman
to keep you entertained for a weekend.
We made our first stop to get some breakfast
and then from there it was time to visit the Roman theatre.
Alright so we just finished having breakfast and now we're at the Roman theatre
We're gonna go explore the Roman theatre and show you guys what it
looks like. Let's g.o
Aman's roman theater is a 6,000 seats second century Roman theater. A famous
landmark in the Jordanian capital and it dates back to the Roman period when the
city was known as Philadelphia and is the highlight for most visitors. It was
built on three tiers. The rulers, of course, sat closest to the action. The
military secured the middle section and the general public perched and squinted
from the top rows. So right now I'm talking to one of the officers here
that's telling me about this place and as you can see he's on the opposite end
of the theatre and he's speaking directly into the wall and we could hear
each other correct? Wow this I don't know how they
know this works but this is amazing. We're literally talking into the wall
The theater is impressively large and well preserved. The stairs to the top or
steep but worth the climb for a view over the theater and the city. Looking down
from the top one could easily sit and feel the history wash over you.
Right now we're at the Roman theatre. This place is amazing.
All this history right here. These are the type of things that you
we read about these things in school when we were kids and now we're actually
here experiencing them for ourselves. For lovers of photography this is a good place to
visit especially during the morning or late afternoon hours as there is
excellent natural lighting. The theater is still used periodically for sporting and cultural events
This one and her bad knee.

After leaving the Roman theatre we headed straight to the Amman Citadel.
Jordan has more amazing historical sites than most people realize and this
historic fortress is located on the top of the highest of Seven Hills on which
the city was built. Wow perfect Sun and everything.
Of course this is paradise for anyone who loves history. Even though we only
had 30 minutes here, the view one can enjoy from the top is absolutely worth
it and the ancient ruins are majestic and unbelievably beautiful.
So beautiful. The camera can't even capture it. That's a fucking lie I can capture it. Really? Yes
Up next was a visit to the King Abdullah Mosque also known as the Blue mosque. This splendid
mosque is a beauty and hard to miss when driving by
Tenille us where we are right now and what we're gonna do.
We're at the Blue mosque getting ready to tour. We have to put on some cool garments before we get in. Come on
You'll enter through the gift shop and on arrival women are given a gown to
cover their arms and legs and head scarves must also be worn. Can you tell
us what they're doing right now? They are just dressing for the mosque. They have to wear the long cover to cover everything.
Where we going ladies? To the mosque. To the Blue Mosque.
The inside of the mosque is as beautiful as the outside especially the rings of lamps suspended from the ceiling and the plush carpet.
It may not be as grand as some of the more famous mosque in the world but it
certainly has a sense of tranquility and definitely worth a visit
Back downstairs you're offered tea and sweets and the sales people show you around
explaining everything that's for sale and their fantastic deals.
What's your name? HUH! WHAT!
After a long day of exploring, it was now time to eat. Food is the heartbeat of
Amman and it's pride and joy. It's almost impossible to have a bad
meal while visiting the city.
There's some people do it better than me but like I'm I'm trying my best and then
After dinner the ladies did some shopping then we called it a night
You really transformed today.
Fall in love. Fall in love. Roger B makes the girls fall in love.
We are at the Dead Sea. Yes. The Dead Sea is the saltier sea in the world. It's eight times or three to eight times more
saltier than the ocean. And pretty much you could just float by not even trying
so we're gonna go explore the Dead Sea and show you guys. The Dead Sea's one of
the most interesting lakes in the world. Located at the lowest point on earth
tourists from around the globe flock to this hyper saline phenomenon which
borders Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the West. The
surface of the Dead Sea is over 1,300 feet below sea level.
There's no need for floatation devices our bodies are more buoyant than the
Dead Sea because of the high concentration of mineral salts that has
dissolved. The Dead Sea is eight times saltier than the ocean and as the
highest concentration of salt of any body of water in the world.
So rather than swim you literally float around.
Go America. Go America.
They are back there floating away in the Dead Sea. They're gonna float back to America.
Look at this.
Almost as famous as the sea itself or the images of tourists slathering mud on
their bodies, letting it harden and then rinsing it off in the sea. The deposits
of black mud comes directly from the seabed. The mud is said to be beneficial
to your skin as it is high in minerals. But all it's healing mud the Dead Sea is
literally the biggest natural free spa on earth.
Tell me about your experience.
It's amazing. Completely indescribable. You actually have to be here to truly truly enjoy it. But it was amazing.
no complaints I'll come back and do it again.
What are you taking the salt home?
For a city smack in the middle of an ancient region Amman is charmingly modern. You will have plenty of historical sites
to explore. This combined with the unique opportunity to see metropolitan life of
real Jordanians make Amman a must-visit. Thanks for having us Amman. I hope you
