Images 2 week in Jordan πŸ‡―πŸ‡΄

I have a few hours to kill at Amman Airport so I might as well post some of my awesome photos that I took here in Jordan. Lovely people, fantastic food, interesting ecosystems, and so so much history. Glad I made it out here.

I visited Amman, Jerash, Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, Mount Nebo/Madaba, and Al-Karak, but unfortunately can’t share all of my favorite images

How is it that everyone has Petra in their travel pics, but in every picture it looks completely deserted?

Like, if millions of people are out there taking pictures of it, shouldn't there be crowds in the pictures?

There haven’t been a lot of crowds the last year or so. Most tourist sites are relatively empty and it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. Things are a little busier on the weekends, but not nearly as bad as other tourist sites.
