Many years ago, i was driv8ng in the Jordanian desert. I stopped in a small village where I saw a baker making bread. I will never forget the taste of tnat bread fresh from the oven. I also spent the night in a tomb in Petra. I woke up at 3 in the morning and saw it under a full moon. Unforgetable!
Kudos to Jordan for inviting you! I was In Jordan around 2005 when Iraq reconstruction contractors flew from Baghdad via Jordan to the US. Now I can see what I missed! Eli is now a super travel & culture influencer! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is an incredible news Eli... being invited by ministry of tourism!! Congratulations! I've been follow your youtube channel for a while and I have to be honest that I became a fan of your content!! Break a leg!
Historic note: When John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in 1865, he jumped out of the presidential theater box onto the stage to escape. He was wearing spurs to ride an escape horse, and one of the spurs caught on a flag as he jumped. So Booth was thrown off balance and he landed with his other knee hard onto the stage. Ouch! And it was broken, so he limped away from the stunned audience, jumped onto his horse, and escaped only because he talked his way past the guard on the "closed" Navy Yard bridge to ride out of Washington D.C. Booth was a famous actor, and in the world of dark humor he had just given quite a performance. So actors started telling one another "break a leg" as an insider's club joke way of saying "put on a sensational performance." That construed to the general public as "good luck" even though superficially it sounds unpleasant when the real meaning is positive,
@@jackieow Far fetched. The first mention of “Break a leg” was recorded in print by Robert Wilson Lynd in 1921 (56 years after 1865). An urbane literary essayist, he wrote an article, “A Defence of Superstition,” about the prevalence of superstition in horse racing and the theatre.He outlined that in horse racing, one would never wish someone good luck as it might push one’s luck too far. You would say, rather, “I hope your horse will break a leg.” This served as a kind of reverse psychological thought to appease the spirits of fate, which favoured the humble. He also mentioned that though Theatre was not as superstitious as horse racing, it was close.
@@yourgopnikcomrade Yes, in print. I was referring to the informal vernacular chatter that preceded the stuffed shirts formally putting common folk sayings into formal "recorded" form.
@@yourgopnikcomrade My great-grandmother was born in 1860 and I knew her when I was younger. When else would I know her? And I can remember as I get older. Not every aspect of human behavior is a bureaucratic matter that gets written down on day one.
@@NadyaAlzhirIt's absurd you think that way. She was invited to come to Jordan with all expenses paid. Many of us will never live to see a day like this.
TshavFengVang, You couldn't be more Right! The Jordanian Tourism Ministry will surely receive a Huge return on Their 'investment', after Thier Hosting Eli to visit beautiful Jordan and some even more beautiful Jordanian Men, Women and Children! Wonderful Jordanian Animals, too. (Even that cancer-curing Snake, poor Guy!) And the delicious food. And marvelous Culture. And ancient History. And.... 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltuck
Eli, this is so beautiful and maybe sad. My father loved Damascus. Gone. My father love Beirut. Gone. Jordan is also a jewel, but politics have become deadly. What an excellent window into the precious, rich Jordan -- may they continue in peace and joy. Great stream, Eli!
@@annaaboualfa383 My father left Beirut (a US Military doctor) in 1948. He called it "Paris of the Levant" -- the city has changed, but what he loved -- the concerts, ocean strolls, clear views of mountains -- are changed. Yes, Beirut survives and I am glad. He would be sad for this land he loved.
@@annaaboualfa383Well, Beirut wasn't thriving recently and you had your share of problems and explosions. Let's not make things sound perfect and be real
Welcome to Jordan habebti, we're known for our generosity and hospitality even though our country is a tiny country but it has so much to enjoy. I'm so glad you had a good visit and you enjoyed it.
Great fun in Jordan guys. Been up to the border a few years ago, but we were not allowed inside. Thanks for the end piece about the people and safety💯👍 Have a fun week everyone from Paul & Kathy in GB🤝👍😊 Always full watch for you guys
As always, an awesome video!! I travel vicariously through you. It blows my mind how bouyant you are in the Dead Sea. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and kisses from Minnesota😘
So cool. I visited there from Ireland in 2003. I travelled to Petra and arrived late evening. There were no tourists because of the impending Iraq war. I had Petra all to myself. It was absolutely magical. The Wadi Rum desert was just a special to me. Interestingly Jordan has a substantial population of ethnic Chechens, mainly in the city of Zarqa. Indeed, the ceremonial guards of the royal family are descendants from a Russian region. It seems there is a strong historical connection between Jordan and Russia.
How amazing is Jordan, I always wanted to swim in the dead sea Your summary of your years travel was perfect and thought provoking Wishing you more travels and adventures in 2025
This is my most favorite country to visit! I am counting the days until I can return. Hoping to one day live there full time, I love Jordan so much. 🇯🇴
Being alone in an historical site is an overwhelming feeling. (Think Vanilla Sky, with Tom Cruise absolutely alone in Time Square.) When visiting family in the Soviet Union in '89, I went out into Red Square at 3 AM. It was amazing to stand alone surrounded by almost a thousand years of history.
@mishapopov2835 I don't quite understand, but it sounds lovely. To show my confusion say that aren't we always walking in thousands and millions of years of history? I'm guessing it's the human buildings and politics or culture that are so awe-inspiring. Is that you referred to?
I can recommend the Fall of Civilizations podcast/YT channel, and their episode about the Nabateans, which talks about Petra, and the water system they had etc.
The Jordanian Ministry of Tourism scored an absolute scoop by inviting you to showcase their beautiful country. I’m sure that more will follow suit. Can’t wait to see them. Thank you so much Eli.
Gorgeous, beautiful quality of filming Eli. Super video. I love all your recent videos and this one resonates particularly strongly with me because I was at school with the King of Jordan’s sister, plus some others also from Jordan, and still stay in touch with them.
Hello! jordanian from malka/um qais here (northern jordan). Welcome to the country, im actually pretty surprised the tourism ministry invites people actually, this is prettty new. Anyways, Ive eaten chacheel and never rly liked it, so it surprised me that someone from outside liked it! 😂. Also, your missing out on a northern food called "makmurah" next time your in, go to irbid and and search around for makmurah! Also I advice you to come in the spring next time, and go to the city of "ajloun" (a city south of irbid). its very green and beatiful at that time of the year your always welcome to the country! And a happy new year.
I really like the beginning of your video that mentions that you were invited by the Jordan Ministry of Tourism, congratulation! I was very touched to see that, you are indeed great and professional in making video shows so that the audience is amazed by every work of yours. Keep making the best videos Eli, the international community recognizes your greatness in promoting culture and tourism sites!
I've always been watching you and your travels in Russia. I'm so excited to see you here in Jordan to hopefully promote our country the best way possible. Thank you 🙏🎄🎁
Another eye-opener, Eli. Thank you for all your fascinating programmes. I am a huge fan. You are a breath of fresh air. Have a safe and fun 2025. All Best Wishes H.
WoW, this is amazing to see, it's so unique! Their hospitality is great , they seem so welcoming, nice people. I didn't know much about Jordan neither. Спасибо Ели ❣️

Is it? It suggests she is not impartial and that’s not what we want. We want the truth not what despotic regimes want us to know.
Sadly, Eli will say whatever the signer of her paycheck wants to hear. That also includes Russia.
