| These channels were on both sides of the rift valley- it's amazing to think that this kind of masonry and engineering existed over 2000 years ago |

 |
| Osama-our tourist police who accompanied us to over the course of the weekend. We weren't quite sure of his role because Jordan is very safe, but I think our American habits kept him entertained. |
 |
| Ruins of a castle from 1185 AD. Saladin's nephew, a commander in the army, used this as an outpost to protect the Jordan Valley and its main access roads. |
 |
| These Bedouin encampments can be found all over Jordan, even around Amman, the capital city. This particular one was along a main road that goes into the center of the city. The semi-nomadic people are indigenous to the region and maintain their lifestyle among the growing development and urbanization. |

 |
| Mount Nebo is where Moses is believed to have seen the Holy Land after leading the Israelites out of Egypt |
 |
| The king and crown prince of Jordan; there pictures are everywhere- in restaurants, on buildings, posters. This was at the border crossing; the first place we went in Jordan |
