RE: A Journey In Time Through The Ruins Of Jerash Jordan
@exploretraveler - given its' rich cultural and historical significance, Jordan is a country that should be on one's travel destination and given that some of the other countries with such ancient history from that part of the world has crumbled politically (such as Iraq and Syria) and is no longer accessible, this is one of those few places that sombody who loves the experience of the ancient would shouldn't miss
@roji.abraham yes however those areas can be somewhat accessible to an experienced adventurer but Syia would need very special planning. Southern Iraq Ur visit is doable with connections. We have already been there.
Interesting. I once passed through Iraq and Jordan as a child refugee in the Gulf war of 1990 (my family lived in Kuwait then)- still have vague memories of both places. Good to know Iraq is still accessible, though I would stay away from Syria (as a tourist) given the very sensitive position the country is in now.. Thanks for the post.
