Thank you to all the lovely people of Amman! We loved how friendly everyone was and Jordan is such an underrated country that people should definitely visit.
Greetings from Jordan, I am happy you had a good time, I wish you tried the Mansaf, that is a great traditional dish and it is THE dish to try. Maybe next time.
Thank you so much! We love to hear that!! To be honest, we watch a lot of other RUclips videos and read a lot of blogs about these places to see what other people enjoyed doing. We narrow down the list of things we want to do from there based on the time we have. And, sometimes we just spend a day walking around the cities we visit to see first-hand what’s interesting before deciding what we should go back and film.
Another nice video! I lived in 'Amman from 1989 to 1991 studying Arabic, and your video brought sweet memories back. Congratulation for the Kuffiyah you bought, it is a very nice investion. I have one now nearly 35 years old, and I am still using it, especially here in Thailand. Very practic in every situation, better than a hat. You can even wet it if it is too hot. But: Arabic coffee in these plastic cups is a no-no-no go. 🙂 You have to drink it in an Arabic coffee shop from the small China cups. And that with Saddam Hussein's notes... That is a litle bit on the difficult side. Saddam was a killer and war criminal (use of poison gas against Kurds and Iranians), attacking The new formed Islamic Republic of Iran with help of Western Nations. But if you are collector I can understand. Yes, the cats are amazing by the way! And the food also is nice (even I never became a good friend of Mansaf. But Hummus in Jordan is so delicious! Hope you enjoyed also Petra, if you have gone there.
We love to see your comments! I feel like the next time we go back to Jordan we should take you with us - so we don’t make mistakes like drinking coffee out of plastic cups!
@@kineticpassports Thank you for this nice reply. Times are changing, and now it maybe is all right to drink it from plastic cups. 🙂 But I am really conservative in this. Yes, I miss Jordan, last time have been there was 2017. Too long ago. I am looking forward to watch more videos from you, they are great!
The last coin showed to you by the man in the antique shop, the Palestinian coin, was probably the only genuine article of the ones he showed you.Good choice going for the bill, instead!
Rishi really wanted the Saddam bill from the get go. But, of course, the shopkeeper wanted to show us more. I have no idea as to the authenticity of the coins, but the prices he quoted were pretty expensive - like nothing we would ever pay. So, we happily left with our bill.
@@kineticpassports Im a coin collector so I make the comment with quite a bit of confidence. Kicking myself I didnt buy one of those bills during my visit to Amman!
so, the place we got the Saddam Dinar was right across the street from the roman theatre. the coffee shop.. it isn't on google maps, so the best I can remember is that it was somewhere on Prince Muhammad Street near Sha'aban 9 Street
Welcome to my country Jordan, of course these clothes that you saw are not Jordanian clothes, these are clothes specific to Russia and Greece, even the embroidery on them, and their price is cheap, but this man is Palestinian and always sells to tourists at an expensive price. Jordanian clothes are much more beautiful than this, Jordanian embroidery and Jordanian clothes are different from what you saw with the Palestinian man. You will not find Jordanian clothes and embroidery in the markets unless you ask someone to design for you because some of it uses gold and silver. This red scarf is called the Jordanian fringed shemagh. The black woman is not Palestinian, she is Iraqi, but many Palestinians attribute her to them. ،،، There are also beautiful places such as the ruins of Umm al-Jimal in Mafraq Governorate, Ajloun Castle, Umm Qais, Salt, and many other places.
Thank you so much for the welcome and for watching! It's always good to hear from the people who live in the areas we visit what we missed (both re sites to visit and lack of information in our interactions).

Definitely next time! It looks amazing 🤩
Appreciate the informative video! Do you guys remember the name of the area, you found the souvenir stalls? Where you bought the scarf?
This was around Sha’aban 9 St. There are tons of shops, restaurants and cafes around there. You can use the Duke’s Diwan as a landmark for that area
I recently started watching your videos, and I absolutely love them! How do you plan your itinerary for each and every place you visit?
