Jordan: A great tourist destination

I am recently returned from Jordan. I have already posted materials from my visits to Petra and Jerash on another blog:

• Petra (The Rose Red City at the End of Time -- a World Heritage site)
  
• Jerash (The remains of the center of a Greco-Roman city.)

I also go to visit the Citadel in the center of Amman, and the museum that is located there. Here are some images from that visit:

Ruins above the citadel.

An 8,500 year old statue in the museum --
perhaps the oldest surviving statue in the world.

I also took the chance to visit Madaba and Mt. Nebo. The latter is the site of a church dedicated to Moses, who is believed to have seen the promised land from the mountain, and to be buried nearby.

Byzantine church called after Moses on Mt. Nebo.
