Last year I visited Jordan twice but never visited one of its major attractions, Jerash, until recently. Kim and I finally got a day to visit it. It rained on the way during our bus ride, but the rain stopped when we arrived there. Because the weather was cloudy and cold, there were very few visitors. We were able to walk around and viewed the beauty of the roman ruins without seeing groups and groups of tourists.

Citadel in Amman
The Citadel sits on the hill of Amman downtown. My housemate and I took a bus from Jordan University to the downtown and then walked up long steep stairs to the top of hillside to reach the Citadel. Because of a nice weather, we really enjoyed not only the overviews of the city and also the exploration of this historical ruins, where there are Umayyad palace, Byzantine basilica and pillars of the Temple of Hercules.
