In 1993-1994, I traveled to Jordan a few times and wrote a Hebrew language travel guide to Jordan.
In 2008, I made my "Return to Jordan". In the years that passed, technology improved. My camera was nicer, and I had an early model smartphone. Jordan hadn't changed much - which was good for a tourist.
The city "Philadelphia" used to be Amman, Jordan - part of the Decapolis, 10 cities on the eastern frontier of the Roman empire. Visit Petra and even Amman if you can! Amman is a classic Arab city, in the best of ways. Old and New come together, and it is a great place to walk.
