Jordan and Israel


The wall of the old city- Jerusalem

Zion's gate, which was battered by gunfire during the 1948 war, when the Israelis were trying to break through the gates being held by the Jordanians.

You know you're in the Armenian quarter when...

The Dome of the rock

gorgeous...

Jewish quarter



The western wall in front, Jeudaism's holiest place, with the dome of the rock behind, Islam's #3



Church of the Holy Sepulchre, supposedly where Jesus was crucified and buried

The Allenby (or King Heussein depending on what side you're on) bridge, connecting Jordan and Israel

Amman- 8,500 year old statues

The entrance to Jordan from Eilat, a small Israeli coastal town at the Red Sea

The Siq- entrance to Petra

...

Roman amphitheatre

More Petra

This Saudi man wanted to take my picture, so I got one of him and his wife in return
