Jordanian adventure of eating dirt and drinking water

The Middle East used to have a mysterious allure for you, and Jordan happens to be a relatively safe place in the Middle East. I really want to go to Israel - the historical event of the conflict between Jews and Arabs in the Arab world, but I feel it's dangerous. day1. Of course, the gray plane flew to the capital Amman. Amman has a mixture of modern and ancient atmosphere, and religious beliefs permeate the entire city. When we were eating in the city center, there were many modernly dressed people around us, but there were also many Arabs dressed in full-body clothing on the street. They all thought I was a cute foreigner and asked to take photos with me. The Roman amphitheater is open-air, which feels like a movie, but the ancient city here is really ancient. Chinese tourists are considered naive and wealthy in the eyes of locals, and some locals enthusiastically take photos for you and then ask for tens of dollars in consumption. If you have time, you can go to their car museum, which displays the king's cars. The gap between rich and poor is even more serious in the Middle East. day2. The following days will be a mix of eating dirt and drinking water, either freezing in the red soil desert with a down jacket or burning in the Red Sea and Dead Sea, with a night tour of Petra ancient city in between, and maybe a yacht ride to make you happy if you're worried about spending money. Riding camels, climbing the desert, sitting in an open-top truck to feel the northwest wind, and visiting people's tents, my goodness. All of this is to reach a place where we can see stars at night, and finally we arrive, staying in tents and having an Arabian party at night, chatting and sharing grievances with each other and finally watching stars together. Such a sweet memory, hehehe. day3. The night tour of Petra ancient city is a highlight of the Jordan trip, but Chinese people are seen as superficial tourists by foreigners, just nodding and laughing when the guide talks about something. They often don't know what they have seen, but they remember that there is an ancient ceremony in Jordan where people hold candles in the center of the ancient city and perform a huge ritual, because walking through the giant stones gives a feeling of "walking the history". day4. Gradually leaving the cold place, we had a yacht party because everyone could finally dress up, eat, drink, and enjoy themselves. Finally, we felt alive again, hehehe. In the previous few days, because the tour guide was afraid that we would be cheated by the local guides when buying things, the tour guide and the local guide had a quarrel and the local guide went on strike on the spot, hehehe. Our tour guide blocked his way and did business, hehehe. day5. The trip to the Red Sea is very important. Stay at a five-star hotel by the sea, take a mud bath, and float in the Dead Sea. Needless to say, you all understand.
