Hey everyone, if you could click the like button on this video it would be doing me a huge favour. Let's see if we can reach 1k. It helps me a lot. Cheers!
Of course we will give a biiig like for all your videos l washed your trip in Algeris the capital of Algeria 🇩🇿 l really liked but you can excuse the algerienne people because they didn’t speak English 🥴 but I am sure that you really like your trip specially in the casbah 😀😀
Absolutely! Fantastic 1st episode! Anxiously waiting for Jerash...Madaba....do a lots of episodes please! Mt Nebo..famous train line scene of Lawrence of Arabia location ...all desert castles..Wadi Rum...Dead Sea....Petra and so much more...
You have the best English accent ever. I don't speak English but I understand your every single word without subtitle. Crystal clear pronunciation and perfect pace make it so understandable
Fascinating video, Jason. Brings back a lot of memories - I was in Amman 50 years ago when it was a much smaller city, but still very historic and peaceful city and country.
بالمره مش هيك بتاكل المنسف فضحتونا ههههههههههههههههههههه احمد قتلني ضحك انا مولود باميركا و عايش معطم حياتي باميركا و صرت اخبي بوجهي من الزلمه و الناس اللي حواليكم هههههههههههههه. لا و بعد ما لحس ايده بقللك " اممممممممم" متت متت. الله يسعد قلبكم ما احلاكم و يخليكم لبعض يا رب :)
haha, enjoyed your short video. I actually worked in Jordan 77-81 and passed by there in September for 12 days to avoid expensive hotel quarantine in London as i live in Philippines last 26 years. I recognise many of these alleys and streets you walked down. In the square outside the amphitheater used to be the Philidelphia Hotel but it has been knocked down since my time there. It is unbelievable the changes as during my time there Amman was quite small with a population of 500k, Jordan 2,5m but now the country's population is 10.5m and the city over 4m. Only downtown, 1,2,3 circles and Rainbow Street are recognisabe these days to me.
@@JasonBillamTravel yes...always a next time. Please add ancient Jirasa and Madaba too, in case you missed it this time! I’m a history buff... could not believe how perfectly the world’s first map built with mosaics on the church floor showed the Dead Sea..,Israel...the entire Mediterranean belt! I was dumb founded and would recommend these sights even more than Petra......in my personal opinion the entry walk through the gorge to The Treasury ( Khaznah) is stunning! The rest of it seems a little overrated.
Welcome to jordan ❤🇯🇴 If you loved the downtown and the old city you can visits Al salt - has a very beautiful old city with great views and has a lot of good restaurants that serves traditional food Madaba- the city of mosaic ,nepo mountain and it think it has the baptism site that Christians usually go there Ajloun- the green city in jordan and it has ajloun castle on top of the city but its very cold in this time of the year
Enjoyed your vlog. I am touring Jordan in October- Amman, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aquaba and Dead Sea. Can’t wait ! Sounds like I will need plenty of money as you say it’s expensive !
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Jason . The middle east is a beautiful and mesmerizing part of the world . I am looking forward for this series . Again an excellent vlog and I thank you for that/this . Your camera lens loves you and with a blessed hand for editing . What an excellent job you too . You capture what is most needed to showcase the country that you are in . You make the audience feel like they are together with you in that moment . Not everyone can do that nor do they have that touch to do it . You know Jason the food in the middle east taste better than anywhere else . That hummus looks phenomenally delicious . Fatima is lost loool . The mansaf looks delicious . Eating with your hands is essential in the middle east and also in India . Poor people did not have utensils so there hands was the utensils to eat with . Shukran Ya Jason . Please take care and be safe. May Allah continue to bless you and guide you and protect you and keep you safe .
Good evening Jason! I have been watching your videos for years, starting with South East Asia, where I have traveled extensively in 2017, 2018 and 2019. You really captured the beauty of Amman in this video! When you showed the beauty through the windows inside that cafe on the hills, I had such a feeling of calm come over me, it was that beautiful. Kind of a combination of awe and that I can't wait to start traveling again. I have some questions for you, if I may: 1. I'm 68, I always travel solo like yourself, and so being so very careful of not getting covid I'm mostly staying home. The only parties I've attended have been local ones outside where everyone is required to be vaccinated (though it's not checked). I have had two Pfizer shots, and am going for my booster in the next 10 days. But I'm still very concerning about continuing my dream of traveling again throughout Asia and the Middle East after retiring. Do you do any research to investigate how bad covid is spreading in any place before you visit? 2. Part of experiencing and enjoying new cultures is through food so how are you able to be so brave to do so since everyone is unmasked when eating indoors? 3. If you can share, have you gotten covid while traveling? 4. How does it feel compared to before the pandemic, to have to wear a mask in most places? How about in places where it's so hot? 5. Lastly, you said compared to other countries in the region, Jordan is very expensive and you asked a question of your viewers what locals think of the prices? I was also curious if any responses said it was because you were being charged tourist prices or were traveling in tourist areas? Thanks so much for your insight! Bob
Hey Bob, delighted to hear you’ve been a follower over the long haul! I think once you’ve had your booster, go for it. You can’t be better protected than having three jabs - so there’s no reason to wait anymore. Despite the fact it’s still around at some point we’ve got to get on with living our lives and pursuing our dreams. When it comes to eating there’s always risk, not Covid but from general food poisoning etc. It’s all a part of the travel experience. If you get unlucky you just have to accept it. It’ll pass after a few days. I caught Covid on my way back from Mexico last year (I was unvaccinated at the time). I had a cough, headache and fever, but was fine after a week. I didn’t lose my taste or smell. The mask part fluctuates greatly. In some countries (Iraq and Egypt) barely anyone was wearing them. In others (Mexico) virtually everyone had one on. It just depends. It’s something you just have to grow accustomed to dealing with if you want to travel. Jordan is expansive. If you visit you’ll probably feel that. Not as pricey as Europe, but it’ll hit your wallet harder than a lot of other countries around the world. The more touristy the more expensive, generally. Hope that helps. Try not to worry too much about Covid. I think it’s going to fade into the background this year as people carry on living their lives. We have to learn how to live with it, and not in fear. If you don’t have any underlying health conditions, try not to let it dictate your life choices too greatly. Safe travels!
@@JasonBillamTravel Hi Jason! So kind of you to send such a helpful reply! I was curious, how restricting a mask feels knowing how you could travel freely before, and how uncomfortable it is wearing it for hours in very hot climates? For me emotionally it feels like it just won't be the same as before. You said compared to other countries in the region, Jordan is very expensive and you asked a question of your viewers what locals think of the prices? Did you receive any responses and did anyone say you were being charged tourist prices or were traveling in tourist areas? Thanks! Bob
very interesting, some parts of the city reminded me of my city La Paz, in Bolivia :) La Paz is in a mounty valley, so many streets going up and down ;)
@@JasonBillamTravel You will love it.... so much to see and many mixture of cultures. When Pachamama calls, you will get there 😉🙏 Be blessed and have always a healthy and safe journey 🙏
Hi dear, I watched all your series on Jordan and couldn't really understand which month did you visit? Would be nice if you highlight this in your speaking. The video was made uploaded around February. Then you mention its early winter, this will help me to plan my trip soon. Thanks a lot
I was in Jordan in December 2019, i remember damn well every streets and was a pleasure to see them again in your videos! Ps. Everytime that Jason call all round bread "pizza" an Italian like me dead inside a little bit ahahah
You should visit California, there is so much to do over here. It’s Beautiful weather during fall and spring , we have lakes , Pacific Ocean , snow in the mountains during winter . Valleys , Theme parks . Roads are so much easier to drive over here . California is so big . Lots to do
Actually, much of the area of that plaza in front of the amphitheater was once the location of the Philadelphia Hotel, which is where I stayed in June 1977 for a night before joining an archeological dig in Petra (and again in August for a couple of nights before flying to London). The front entrance to the hotel faced the amphitheater, where cars and taxis would deposit travelers. I stood transfixed, gazing at the amphitheater after my taxi ride, before turning reluctantly away to enter the hotel lobby. The hotel, by 1977, was a bit shabby after decades of use. I believe it was finally torn down in the mid-1980's. I had a wonderful summer in 1977: the Jordanians in Amman and Aqaba, and the Bedul in and around Petra were wonderful hosts. Back then, Petra was virtually untouched. All summer, we had just two tour groups of any size visit us on the dig site (15 or 20 persons each time). Days went by with no visitors, which was wonderful. No vendors, no ticky-tack curio shops, no tourist hotels in nearby Wadi Musa, no "park entrance" fees or requirements... just the ancient city, the Bedul, and the 20-odd persons on our dig. Several times, the Bedul invited us into their tents; they'd slaughter a goat, boil virtually all of it after cutting it into pieces, and serve it up on large round platters of flatbread with mounds of rice and sauce from the pot. We'd sit around the platter and talk and laugh and eat and watch the stars come out. Now, of course, it's a different scene. Glad I saw it back before it became a tourist hot spot.
Hello Hello it is so nice to see more and more young people traveling vlogers, hope and sure you are going to have great time in Beautiful Jordan , Amazing places Uniq:Jaresh, Dead sea , and Petra. Lovely people as well, great food. In few days February memorial day of King Husain, Great personality, R.I.P. in Aman Kapital city
السلام عليكم… الحمد الله على سلامه وصولك الى بلدك نفتقد وجودك معنا في العراق بصراحه استمتعنا بكل مجهود قدمته هنا شكرا..الاردن بلد جميل وجار طيب تحياتي لك وللجميع...
So spooky not many visitors. I have been on the Citadel 6 or 7 times. I keep seeing new antiquities each visit. It is worth slowly exploring. Great to hear the sounds of the Old Town again. Wages are really low. There is no Social safety net in Jordan. It barely recovered after the GFC and now 2 years of the pandemic the tourist workers have suffered. It is important for tourists to tip well, especially the tourist drivers. Thanx for sharing.
Hi Jason. I stayed at the Al Midan 2 years ago and your video brought back some happy memories. You have my fullest admiration for the way you have turned your passion for travel into a full-time career. I started travelling in the mid-90s by backpacking around India and I'm off to my 90th country later this week (Barbados). I would consider doing a vlog but I don't think anyone would understand my Black Country accent so I'll leave it to the master and I look forward to following your future travels. All the best.
@@JasonBillamTravel Oh, I'm a Korean Muslim who converted to Islam in 2013, and I've always wanted to live in an Islamic country. And with the help of my Jordanian friends, I went to Jordan in 2016 to learn a Arabic and Islam and came back. The Jordanians welcomed a converted Korean Muslim from distant Korea, and I have only good memories of Jordan. 👍👍👍
Hey Jason thanks for visiting our country.. Jordan offers much much more than the Citadel or Hashem restaurant or Petra.. there is just so much to take in.. as 7 civilizations passed its soil.. as for the economics unfortunately it's very bad at the moment and Jordan is very very expensive to us Jordanians as the salaries are very low... not mentioning the unemployment rate which almost hit 50% now... anyways happy u enjoyed ur stay here.. and hopefully you will discover more in future visits.
@@nigaratazhiyeva2903 hi! Sure thing! In Amman you can visit the Jordanian museum, Qasr al-Abd (35 km outside of Amman) on the way to this place there's the cave of Jesus Christ, Qasr Almashta (it's actually near the airport) ... as to where to eat you have khashouqa (خاشوقة) it makes very yummy food, al-webde area, one of the oldest areas in Amman if you wanna eat in that area, there's Jordan Heritage Restaurant, it offers very authentic food in a modern way (it's an area full of cafes) for sweets there is Nafeesah (their sweets are sooo yummy, if you are curious about any kind you can ask to try it (and it's for free) if u are allergic to anything tell any place. These places are in Amman and its suburbs.. if you want more places just tell me
@@lubmo9129 thank you so much ❤️ it was very helpful! If you don't mind to write the places where do usually young local people spend their time, maybe with some live music and dancing I'd really appreciate that 🙌🏻
hi jayson welcome to Jordan. try to visit here in aqaba also it is a southern city of Jordan. it is near in red sea.its near also in petra and wadi rum.am sure you will love it.by its nice to visit here during summer time.
From a local perspective the prices in Amman are pretty steep but you can manage to have a decent time without spending that much . You can go to Wadie Rum that got the most spectacular rocks formations and the closest environments to Mars on earth visit the dead sea and get to the lowest point on earth visit the roman ruins in Jarash the most well preserved romen city outsid Italy visit the ancient churches in Madapa and see the oldest mosaic in all the world there is over 120.000 ancient sites in Jordan 120 register in UNICIFE as part of the world culture the ancient city of Petra is one of the moderns 7 wonders of the world it used to recive over 1.000.000 visitor every year before covid pandemic overall i hope you injoy this trip Injoy
I'm in Amman right now visiting in-laws. I much prefer it in the summer but even in the winter it's not bad. The food is definitely good. I highly recommend Petra and Wadi Rum, though I've not been to either in the winter so I don't know how they'll be this time of year. Enjoy your travels though and stay safe.
I’ve already visited both as this series was filmed at the end of last year. Both were spectacular - perhaps a little cold in the winter, but slightly quieter as a result. Thank you!
In general while some places are costly (similar to Europe or America), however you do always have a cheap and good quality option (cheaper than Europe or America). Yes the Jordanian currency is maybe one of the strongest in the world.

Thanks. I’ve got some really exciting destinations lined up for 2022.
Great video! I loved seeing the city from the citadel. The architecture seemed unreal at sunset. Lovely people you’ve met.
It was impressive - one of the most dramatic red skies I’ve ever seen!

The candle lit path to Petra Treasury at night is a lifetime experience! That evening seemed surreal after I got back home, to my life in NY.

Ajloun- the green city in jordan and it has ajloun castle on top of the city but its very cold in this time of the year
Thank you. Appreciate the tips!

You capture what is most needed to showcase the country that you are in . You make the audience feel like they are together with you in that moment . Not everyone can do that nor do they have that touch to do it . You know Jason the food in the middle east taste better than anywhere else . That hummus looks phenomenally delicious .

Poor people did not have utensils so there hands was the utensils to eat with . Shukran Ya Jason . Please take care and be safe. May Allah continue to bless you and guide you and protect you and keep you safe .
Thanks a lot. I love the Middle East (I think it goes without saying). Eating with your hands is all part of the experience!
i love it how you fired the 1st guide half way and then hired a new guide
Hahaha I didn’t fire Fatma. She returns later in the Jordan series!
Thanks for taking us on a tour of Jordan, Jason. I look forward to watching the rest of the trip around the country!

Fatmah is so cute :)
Never knew Jordon was part of Roman Empire.Jason good video of citadel in night vision.
Wowww Omg..very nice video.. ❤ Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you!
It really is
You’re totally right about high prices
Yeah. On the whole it’s still worth a visit though, Petra and Wadi Rum are pure bucket list places.
I miss Jordan ❤
You welcome in my country i hope see you tomorrow if you have time old fellower , 💙💚💚
السلام عليكم… الحمد الله على سلامه وصولك الى بلدك نفتقد وجودك معنا في العراق بصراحه استمتعنا بكل مجهود قدمته هنا شكرا..الاردن بلد جميل وجار طيب تحياتي لك وللجميع...
Time travel ... thanks Jason!
Happy to hear it haha!
Amazing and educational. Thanks again. John in Chicago
Appreciate it, John
So spooky not many visitors. I have been on the Citadel 6 or 7 times. I keep seeing new antiquities each visit. It is worth slowly exploring.
Great to hear the sounds of the Old Town again.
Wages are really low. There is no Social safety net in Jordan. It barely recovered after the GFC and now 2 years of the pandemic the tourist workers have suffered. It is important for tourists to tip well, especially the tourist drivers.
Thanx for sharing.
Hi Jason. I stayed at the Al Midan 2 years ago and your video brought back some happy memories. You have my fullest admiration for the way you have turned your passion for travel into a full-time career. I started travelling in the mid-90s by backpacking around India and I'm off to my 90th country later this week (Barbados). I would consider doing a vlog but I don't think anyone would understand my Black Country accent so I'll leave it to the master and I look forward to following your future travels. All the best.
wow I lived in Amman 2016~2017!
Nice, how did you find it overall?
@@JasonBillamTravel Oh, I'm a Korean Muslim who converted to Islam in 2013, and I've always wanted to live in an Islamic country. And with the help of my Jordanian friends, I went to Jordan in 2016 to learn a Arabic and Islam and came back. The Jordanians welcomed a converted Korean Muslim from distant Korea, and I have only good memories of Jordan. 👍👍👍
Wonderful Video as Always Jason 👌. CONGRATULATIONS on your 51st Country🎆. I made it to Istanbul. It is truly Amazing. Feel so Grateful to be here ☘✌.
Great
Good work brother I love your videos
Thanks Hassan!
Hey Jason thanks for visiting our country.. Jordan offers much much more than the Citadel or Hashem restaurant or Petra.. there is just so much to take in.. as 7 civilizations passed its soil.. as for the economics unfortunately it's very bad at the moment and Jordan is very very expensive to us Jordanians as the salaries are very low... not mentioning the unemployment rate which almost hit 50% now... anyways happy u enjoyed ur stay here.. and hopefully you will discover more in future visits.
Hi beautiful 😘❤️ lady
Hi, could you please suggest places to visit. Which restaurants and Cafe mostly local people go to. Don't want to try typical tourist places 🙄
@@nigaratazhiyeva2903 hi! Sure thing! In Amman you can visit the Jordanian museum, Qasr al-Abd (35 km outside of Amman) on the way to this place there's the cave of Jesus Christ, Qasr Almashta (it's actually near the airport) ... as to where to eat you have khashouqa (خاشوقة) it makes very yummy food, al-webde area, one of the oldest areas in Amman if you wanna eat in that area, there's Jordan Heritage Restaurant, it offers very authentic food in a modern way (it's an area full of cafes) for sweets there is Nafeesah (their sweets are sooo yummy, if you are curious about any kind you can ask to try it (and it's for free) if u are allergic to anything tell any place. These places are in Amman and its suburbs.. if you want more places just tell me
@@lubmo9129 thank you so much ❤️ it was very helpful! If you don't mind to write the places where do usually young local people spend their time, maybe with some live music and dancing I'd really appreciate that 🙌🏻
@@nigaratazhiyeva2903 oh and you are most welcome! 😊 hope u enjoy your trip... and if you have time visit the north.. it's much cooler than the south
welcome to jordan i love this video and waiting for the next in your trip 😍
Thank you!
hi jayson welcome to Jordan. try to visit here in aqaba also it is a southern city of Jordan. it is near in red sea.its near also in petra and wadi rum.am sure you will love it.by its nice to visit here during summer time.
Mind blowing video, your presentation is outstanding and your way of talking is so impressive. Lots of love from Assam ❤️❤️❤️, India
Happy to hear that. Dhanyabad!
There is also a castle you can visit
Enjoy your trip to jordan.nice clean but.. nowadays its cold
Most welcome
It's beautiful and it's quite impressive they kept their currency up from inflation. it's not expensive
I suppose it has its pros and cons (Jordan is expensive for locals).
From a local perspective the prices in Amman are pretty steep but you can manage to have a decent time without spending that much . You can go to Wadie Rum that got the most spectacular rocks formations and the closest environments to Mars on earth visit the dead sea and get to the lowest point on earth visit the roman ruins in Jarash the most well preserved romen city outsid Italy visit the ancient churches in Madapa and see the oldest mosaic in all the world there is over 120.000 ancient sites in Jordan 120 register in UNICIFE as part of the world culture the ancient city of Petra is one of the moderns 7 wonders of the world it used to recive over 1.000.000 visitor every year before covid pandemic overall i hope you injoy this trip
Injoy
In terms of the strongest currency in the world
First ... Kuwait
Second ... Bahrain
Third ... Oman
Fourth Jordan
🙂🙂
..but Jordan has lower gdp per capita.
@@aungmyintoo4635 its pegged to USD meaning that the currency won't lose or gain valie
It's an exchange rate. It has nothing to do with the strength of the economy. Still, the JOD is very stable.

I'm in Amman right now visiting in-laws. I much prefer it in the summer but even in the winter it's not bad. The food is definitely good. I highly recommend Petra and Wadi Rum, though I've not been to either in the winter so I don't know how they'll be this time of year. Enjoy your travels though and stay safe.
I’ve already visited both as this series was filmed at the end of last year. Both were spectacular - perhaps a little cold in the winter, but slightly quieter as a result. Thank you!
it would have been awesome if you went to the modern part of the city :3 would recommend you to visit it if you are willing to go back to Jordan
JORDAN is amazing, I can't wait to go there. Visiting Petra is one of my dreams! Love you from Algeria.
You should visit north & see something different .
In general while some places are costly (similar to Europe or America), however you do always have a cheap and good quality option (cheaper than Europe or America). Yes the Jordanian currency is maybe one of the strongest in the world.
Jordan seems to be a tolerant country for different religions and ethnicities.
I LOVE MANSAFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so tender!
Great place! 👍
Hi! I really like your videos in Amman! I’m thinking travel to in November. Do you know were I can find guide? 😊
Jordan is one of the most expensive countries in the middle east. Enjoy your time
That’s true, but it’s worth it!
Enjoy one of the most country i like to be
Jason u should have also come to Aqaba There are so many beautiful destinations u can visit :)
