ROSE RED CITY OF PETRA
|
|
PETRA
The Rose Red City of the Nebateneans. Interesting 15km of ruins, made popular by Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. A lot of things to experience, such as the 1207 m long walkway (As Siq), the Treasury, Plenty of Tombs, the old architecture, and the Monastery (Ad-Dayr). To get to the Dayr, visitors have to walk about 5 km with 1 km hill climbing ( 900 steps ).
Based on HarunYahya websites, the nebateneans are the thamud people. Nabi Saleh was sent for them. (thanx Badang for pointing that out)
here the excerpt:
Today, one can see the finest examples of these peoples' stonework in the Rum Valley in Jordan, better known as Petra. Indeed, the Qur'an refers to their expertise in stonework thus:
[Salih said to his people,] "Remember when He appointed you successors to 'Ad and settled you in the land. You built palaces on its plains and carved out houses from the mountains. Remember Allah's blessings and do not go about the earth, corrupting it." (Qur'an, 7:74)

Al Kahf ( Cave )
|
|
Ashabul Kahfi
A friend of mine told me that the cave of the seven sleepers ( Ashabul Kahfi ) is in Amman. I make a wiki search but it only refers to Ephesus in Greek. I believe that this could be another dispute between ahlul kitab. Same like the dispute of Nabi Musa's final resting place ( between Mount Sinai and Mount Nebo) as well as Nabi Nuh's Ark location.
So i went there after work, but the cave is closed.  . Just the pix from outside then.
Masjid King Hussein in Downtown
I believe that this is one of the oldest masjid in Amman. Its the original King Hussein Mosque. I'm quite confuse, so to whoever know better, please comment.

JORDAN.. again..
This is my 2nd time in Amman. Unexpectedly, I am here again after 3 weeks. Different tasks this time. Nevertheless, I hope to do things I didn't do the first time.
Masjid in King Hussein Park
The biggest masjid in Amman. Wanted to perform solat Jumaah here. But didn't manage to do it the first time. Didnt have to wait to fulfil it now. The place is on high security, so no pictures were taken.. except from afar.
JERASH.. The Roman City
1 of my unfinished business. Can't believe I have another chance to visit the place. A bit of adventure to get there, took a bus. walk all over the place, then the camera's battery went off. Used 6630's camera then, not so good image taken. And then, the HP's battery gone.
The rest of the rambling will be on my blog (Y!360 or Blogspot). Wanna know how to get to Jerash the cheapest way? Hop in...

Amman Circles
Amman has plenty of circles, but the most famous of them are the eight circles. Taking a taxi to cover these circlse would be a lot of hassle. So, the only option to do so, is to walk from the first till the last circle. Its insane, but adventurous and the satisfaction is guaranteed. Just a 10km walk...
Masjid Abu Darweesh
Wikipedia entry abt Amman refers to this Masjid as a unique jordanian design. It is on top of the highest point in Amman. And walking down the hill from the mosque to downtown is one heck of an experience.

Al Masjid Al Malik Abdullah
|
|
Took the chance to perform my Solatul Jumaat here. Nice Masjid, and air conditioned as well. Nice? Impressive would be more fitting. I'm told that this area is of high security (Abdali), and I can't simply take pictures. If i took the wrong picture, I might land myself in Jail. scary.... 
Oh, right next to the Masjid, is a big church. I didn't snap any picture of it because I'm wary of the army personnels standing everywhere. Later, I was told that the army base is in the area, thus the high vigilance.
