Tour around North Jordan

We wanted to visit historical and Islamic sites not too far from Amman so set this day aside to do this. We left hotel at 11.30am and visited the following sites:

1) Grave of Yusha AS in Salt.

3) Dead Sea (drove past and stopped for a few minutes only as you are meant to hasten from places where Allah's punishment has been meted).

4) Mount  Nebo (possible resting place of Musa on his travels, has a Church built in top with old mosaics, not really considered a resting place of Prophet Musa by local Muslims despite signs stating it is)

5) Madaba, a Church contains a 1400 year old mosaic map of Jerusalem and Palestine, the oldest recorded map of the region

Football fans in our group needed to be back in the hotel for football (England v France) so we picked up a takeaway from Hardee's on the way back.

Later on we went for a late walk in Abdali, and Downtown (including a walk around the old Roman Ampitheatre) and we had a very late meal at Hashem's (houmous, fuul, falafel, salad, chips, bread, mint tea) this was disappointing as it is rated as the No 3 restaurant in Amman but lacked flavour - the pic looks better than it tastes - though the tea was nice. We left downtown and got back to the hotel around 1.30am.
