Jordan- the land of diverse backgrounds

I visited Jordan to submerge myself into my roots and test my Arabic speaking skills. Similar to my background and story, I came to learn the people of Jordan come from many surrounding and near countries. I’d even go so far as to call it a melting pot of Arabs. Know while Arab countries are depicted as hostile and poor through our media, that was not the country or people I personally experienced. If you get the opportunity to visit, I would recommend pursuing it and prepare to get stereotypes shattered.

Areas explored: Amman, Dead Sea, Hammat Ma’In, Jabel Nebo, Petra, and Wadi Rum.
