Umm Qais/Castle Ajloun/Jerash

On Friday we took a trip up north to Umm Qais, Castle Ajloun, and Jerash. Here is a map of Jordan for reference:

Paparazzi caught me trying to cool off in the shade

Amphitheater




Having a dance party in the amphitheater at Jerash!

When we walked into the amphitheater, a group of musicians (man to my left included) started playing Amazing Grace and then Yankee Doodle on the bagpipes/drum. It ended up morphing into a full on dance party with more arabic tunes and our new friends teaching us how to dance like Jordanians! What a blast!
