AMMAN
Per Pete:
"Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a beautiful city. I was fortunate to visit the city on a long layover and would like to come back again for a longer time. Amman's history goes back to biblical days, and has been ruled by several kingdoms. While plenty to see in Amman, it also provides a great central location to be able to go out and visit other famous sites during the day.
Live pigeons were apparently a popular item being sold at the market. People were walking around with brown bags everywhere and my guide said there were pigeons in all of them. I told him we could make a killing in the black market shipping the pigeons in NYC to Amman.
Amman is a great city and should be visited!! During my layover, to make my stay easy and enjoyable, I booked a private day tour via Jordan Direct Tours and the setup and tour guide were great."
