Jordan is a wonderful example of what the Middle East should be to me. I came there from Saudi Arabia and it is so much more relaxed. It is greener and has so much more history and a richer culture. The food is great and the people friendly. I only made it to Jordan for a couple days in July 2008 but it gave me a wonderful first impression and I'm sure I'll be back. I returned to Jordan in December 2008 while on a trip from Egypt to Turkey.
