2020_01 Umm el Jimal

This is a town to the north east of Amman, just a few km from the Syrian border. We visited the Roman ruins at the site with interpreters from the group Hand By Hand Heritage. They guide visitors around the site and arrange for visitors to eat with a local family. We were hosted in a beautiful modern Bedouin home for lunch. It is also possible to arrange to stay with a local family for several days for a truly immersive experience. You can find them at https://www.handbyhandheritage.com/
