[Music] for you assalamualaikum and welcome to Jordan we're currently in the capital city of a man we also go to the Dead Sea for ancient Roman city of duresh amazing deserts already rum wonder of the world uh Patcher so join me on this trip and I hope you enjoy [Music] [Music] [Music] we just leaving a man off to the Dead Sea today it's about an hour's Drive I've rented a car for about around 40 quid I got some tunes banging on the radio it's about you drive around here because everyone just does what they like they like to speak the horn s no hey please give me the subscribers license I don't know what you mean okay let's welcome to Jordan thank you very much first please stop apparently they just like to stop for stop throwing bags on the car that chases a rental car they just want to I think have a chat Maybe um I think we might get stopped a few other times [Music] so we've found a free swimming spot it's called Dead Sea free swimming on Google Maps good Park's just up there and uh this is the Dead Sea welcome Dead Sea I think it's called the Dead Sea because it's a ghost town and no one's here actually no I think it's because there's nothing living in the actual water apart from little tiny micro organisms I think there's actually 306 meters deep and it's the deepest hyper saline lake in the world whatever that means uh yeah so we're gonna go for a dip now so hey guys check out all the salt there look little round bubbles actually so much warmer here than it is in a man and the water's nice and warm actually found it I know correctly that's just getting a bit cold I should be able to float ready and I'm holding the GoPro to prove it ready look at my feet so easy it's nice coming in thick yeah I feel the salt is 36 salt I think 10 times more salt than normal water is it [Applause] how weird is that oh my God they weren't lying you really do float so cool isn't it it's the biggest bar in the world is that right the biggest free spa in the world [Applause] and I guess you could swim to Israel but it's apparently it's very difficult to swim is it can you can you do anything else by the doggy paddle I can't put my legs put your legs under so here is Phil casually reading his book that he's been reading for how long are you oh yeah what page are you on good going [Music] Emma's just developed really bad eczema she gets salt and we're really staying well I really sting my side that's there really sting my butthole stings and Emma's vagina that's what she told me earlier that's what she said earlier so there's a shower here the guy wanted him down to five so he can't come here and get nice and clean after it it's about worth it it's probably a lot better than the hotel ones because that'll be absolutely packed and we had our own Beach to ourselves so really recommend it and now I think we're off to durash which is north of a man and there's lots of ancient Marines there so he's about two hour drive all right [Music] thanks do that every day foreign [Music] [Music] welcome to durash we're about 30 miles South of the Syrian border and this place is full of Roman ruins actually the best preserved Roman ruins in the whole world outside of Italy six and a half thousand years old they've just gone for a little walk through the town and it feels so authentic as you can probably tell from the previous videos see the ruins here are really cool a lot bigger than the ones you get at the Citadel in a man the view at the top is there the view is amazing the view is amazing apparently is it now delivering the prayers it's been like Indiana Jones Is it good is it whoa health and safety not a thing here that's cool what'd you think spectacular are you not entertained [Applause] Maximus now I have my Vengeance in this life of the next [Music] this man here is taking the Mickey out of my accent but he says he likes it yes yes and you say this column yeah it's good some slight billion going on here so this column isn't stable and they've put a spoon here [Laughter] how it's moving look is it moving yeah doing the sound here people wouldn't hear that you know it's coming earthy quick [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign guys and gals welcome to shawadi Wadi ROM let's see there's some ancient carvings here look and civilization dates back to around twelve and a half thousand years and there's like the one tree of Woody rum this one's having a little nap hello sorry to wake you sit my tough teeth at the top try to bite you [Music] look at that that's amazing isn't it I was actually here about five years ago still in this exact spot I've got a picture of me doing a handstand on one of these rocks it's a really incredible Place lots of films we've made here Aladdin Star Wars June Lawrence of Arabia Transformers and the new John Wick film I think so cool do you know how old these are two years ago two years ago I don't believe me maybe 2 000 years old two thousand two thousand years to make out a goat maybe or a camel there's a man [Music] what did you just tell me just then [Music] the most amazing thing you've ever seen in your life [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] so we're climbing up to this Arch but figure out now you've got to climb up this sketchy rock face I'm doing it Barefoot and it's got a desert boots on you okay is it steep [Music] holes yeah so all these little holes on the Rock case from people climbing up up here even many years [Laughter] it's actually pretty sketchy because if you fall to the right pretty much a gonna you die and if I remember correctly there's a bit of rock climbing today now okay we made it you can see how sketchy it is to get down all these people are getting down on their bums basically people come up here get a photograph taken on top of the arch from down there you're scared to go down it'll be fine I'm gonna show me how to get down oh me first yeah it's pretty Sandy as well so you don't get much grip look how marry this ledges by the way and there's clinging onto the wall you're offering to help and I'm just filming on the camera so as far as it looks it's actually okay if you just stay on your bum at all times you can do it very good hello have you ever seen anyone fall down here you no not me have you ever seen anyone full never really that surprises me but another place so it's now sunset uh deep is around the corner over there we just found this amazing spot on top of a mountain Edge look at all these rocks around in the distance and then a couple decided to sit right next to us can you Adam and Eve it literally there's no one else around [Music] [Music] foreign so this is our room for tonight what do you think so cozy it's nice isn't it a little window can I see our view is it open just give it a push there you go oh there you go it's very quite dark right now but that's our view not too shabby at all [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] good morning what A View to wake up today [Music] morning [Music] it was so cold last night but so peaceful as well loads of stars out just had breakfast I think we're gonna head off today and head towards this little Patcher the smaller version of Petra [Music] [Applause] [Music] we've just arrived in little Petra and it's actually free to get into which is amazing considering actual Petra cost 50 jod which is 58 pounds and it is pretty amazing I mean look at that it's pretty cool and there's hardly any tourists here so yeah if you uh when I come to Jordan and not pay the high entry fee to get into the real Patcher come here [Music] [Applause] what do you just say to me just then didn't you say that yesterday when he ran I might say it again tomorrow yeah well this isn't even the proper Petra this is just little Petra [Music] thank you [Music] the big difference with a little Patcher compared to normal picture tell me the only people here Petra can be pretty busy at times we've not seen another soul for about 20 minutes there's a dog this guy's as a goat there so apparently from Little Petra you can get to the monastery which is in Petra but it's a bit of a hike and I've been told that that's actually a free way of getting into Petra but good luck if you can find it so the verdict's a little picture it's definitely worth coming especially as it's free it's obviously a lot smaller than the main picture and there's fewer buildings like that one but it is amazing the scenery is incredible just don't get lost because I think it's actually quite easy to get lost [Music] what do you think I think it's the best thing I've ever seen like really you said that three days in a row now so come is about course to eight so we've missed a lot of the tourists it's quite quiet here last year time I came it was absolutely rammed um it's nice to be here and it's quiet this is the treasury this is where the uh was it from Indiana Jones what's the uh [Applause] no it might be no oh yeah we're currently on our way to the monastery somewhere it didn't come last time didn't have enough time to kind of ran out of steam and I guess a lot of people don't make it here because there's a hell of a stair set and it's right at the end of Petra so I'm glad we've got here early we haven't actually seen that many tourists so hopefully we're going to be like one of the only people there I've come all the way from down there so I reckon it's gonna be around this corner and there it is it's a monastery it's in better condition isn't it it's bigger and in better condition in the shade of it though shame but yeah not many tourists here foreign [Music] and relax and see it all rather than rushing around but if you come here there's really amazing viewpoints that the best view and Petra view one up there and one up there and you can get some really nice views of the monastery from up high so I recommend to do that if you come here so I reckon this point must be the furthest point of Petro you can walk and it's one hell of a view look at that that's the Arabian Desert over there I believe there's a little bit of delay on this one but check out the echo on this ready yeah two one [Music] [Laughter] somebody's got a feltic pen and Jon and this donkey to make it look like a zebra she's pretty cool you know you're not a zebra so just left with the Royal tombs there's a trail called alcuba trail and I believe this will lead to the high Viewpoint of the treasury [Music] foreign [Music] so about five years ago we paid a local guy about 10 JD to take us up this staircase to that Viewpoint over there we can look down on the treasury that one is amazing as well obviously you've got to pay for it this one was completely free we just bought a drink of this guy it's a three Judd but yeah definitely worth coming for this size if you want to do a nice Trail as well foreign [Music] tourists there's even golf buggies down there so it's definitely worth getting up early if you can that way you can pretty much have it to yourself like we did [Music] yes welcome have a nice day thank you I'm currently walking down one of the main High streets in a man and the shops where you can buy pretty much anything especially clothes because everyone knows the Middle East are the Pioneers when it comes to fashion and let me tell you Jordan is no exception let me show you some of the cool brands that you can buy Here Air Jordan porn Aila Tony Hilda Kelvin Klein spin-off company Kaylee Kailyn can't Adidas you're my personal favorite happy boss [Music] so something that's great about Jordan is that the street board is so cheap this Falafel and Pepsi came for one JB which is about one pound 20 and they've got falafels further north about 25p [Music] m [Music] every day this shot has a massive cue outside of it and it looks like they're selling some type of cake it looks quite delicious so we're gonna give it a try I think it's called knepper [Music] [Music] outside oh it's really nice it's kind of sweet and safety at the same time kind of cheese underneath and kind of sort of trickly on top with pistachio but yes I'm sure it's going to make me put on a lot of weight because it feels very calorific there's two main attractions in a man one is the road an Amphitheater which is over there and the other which is up there it's got views across the city and old Roman ruins but like lots of places in a man you have to cross pretty chaotic busy roads like this one and the key is literally just to walk out and hope that they stop a bit like this as you can see it's pretty mental I survived good thanks [Music] this Amphitheater holds 6 000 people it's pretty steep to get up the top and at the top is where we'd be sitting because we're foreigners and slaves the poor and women have to sit at the top basically the cheap seats and it was used for Gladiator bites including sword fights and fights against beasts it says so tigers and lands I guess also for weddings bar mitzvahs maybe not that [Music] so they were in the cheap seats and were very far from all the action which would have been down there the view up here is pretty good so that's a bonus I guess and that's the Citadel off area which is where we're going to next [Music] foreign [Music] track we did it the other day the sun's just set over a man and everyone on their rooftops are letting out their pigeons to go fly you can't see but dotted around and all these roof decks uh pigeon coops [Music] so that's the end of my video thanks for watching and well done if you've made it this far Jordan has been an incredible experience I think Woody rum and Petra have definitely been my highlights so make sure you visit there if you come yourself it's pretty hectic at times especially in a man I wish I'd made a t-shirt that reads I don't need a taxi because they're forever beeping the horn and asking if you need one a bit like that I haven't said that though they're very welcoming and friendly people in fact I think I've been told welcome to Jordan at least 20 times a day uh there's three things I would say that would make your visit to Jordan a little bit more easy the first is buying the Jordan pass that makes it easier and cheaper to get into a lot of the attractions especially if you go to Petra I'll put the link to the website below the second is to hire a car although it is pretty crazy driving around here it just makes life a lot simpler as there isn't any public transport to get to places like buddy run Petra and the third is find yourself a guy a guy that can book a hotel sort out itineraries and hire cars from and our guy was a guy called Louie really nice bloke really friendly down to earth and trustworthy and he just made our life so much more simpler and took the stress out of everything really so I put his contacts in the link below as well and finally if you haven't subscribed to my channel I'd really appreciate it it really helps me out and it might encourage me to do a few more videos like this so thanks again for watching and I'll see you on the next one [Music]
