I joined a hiking group that goes to different locations outside of Amman every week. Trips usually last all day. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
This weekend we went to Wadi Araba, which is a large stretch of land close to the Palestinian border. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
Once we got there, our guides set up camp and started to prepare for our dinner of zarb. To cook zarb you need a hole in the ground, so I volunteered to help dig! Photo credit: Allard, 2020
We played tug-o-war. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
I found a flower on our walk. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
We also got to enjoy this amazing sunset! This photo was taken by one of our Arabic teachers. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
Finally, we ended our day with some knafeh made over the campfire. If you have the opportunity to study abroad here, I recommend asking your Arabic teachers about this hiking group. The trip was amazing and I will definitely be going on another trip soon! Photo credit: Allard, 2020
