...doesn't look so promising from the air. Dry, and very hot.
After landing at the airport (I only slept for about 45 minutes all night), we drove to the town of Madaba. Here we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a mostly empty restaurant. During Ramadan, Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. Imagine a day of 104 degrees, and you can't even have a sip of water!
We then traveled to Mount Nebo. I stood in the very spot where Moses looked across the Jordan River into the Promised Land before he died. The city of Jericho is visible straight ahead, and the Dead Sea is off to the left.

Very engrossing entries. Hopefully you'll continue to have access to the internet. This will be a good diary later as well. I wonder how long they'll keep your site up. Yes, it's Ramadan, how many Muslim countries will you visit besides Jordan?
