I saw a glimpse of the Promised Land and trekked to Mecca all in the same day. A religious experience this morning on Mt. Nebo, where Moses died after showing his people sweeping vistas of the land below.
We shopped a bit in a local mosaic market, where Maha snapped this shot of my friend Abeer and me seconds before the shopkeeper asked us to stand because the couch cost more than 15,000 JD!
Then, we headed to Mecca Mall, a 5-story collossus in the most opulent area of Western Amman. Will post more on this experience later. A great chance to people-watch and catch the influence of western pop culture on this part of the world.
