One of my favorite places to visit is the beautiful country of Jordan. It is where I was born and a place I travel to every couple of years. With its beautiful landscapes, historic sites, and growing cities, it is a place I hold dear to my heart.
This is Amman, the capital of Jordan.

Oh, I enjoyed these pictures SO MUCH, Bayan. How great that you are from this beautiful and fascinating part of the world. I spent a month in Syria about 10 years ago, but there was so much to see and do in Syria that I did not get to go Jordan. Maybe someday I will get to go there! You have been to Petra: wow! And the pictures from Jabal Qalaa are also wonderful. I look forward to learning more about the journey that has taken you from Jordan to Oklahoma!
