If you like antiquities, you must travel to the ancient cities of Petra and Jerash, both of which are in Jordan, and to Jerusalem. Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by Greek and Roman mythology and history. I remember spending hours pouring over books about ancient Greece and Rome. I could spend an entire morning walking through ruins even in the hot sun (note: these places never seem to have trees and I always visit them during the warmer spring and summer months). I will post a long travel article with recommendations on where to stay, how to get there and what to do. In the meantime, enjoy the photos of Jerash, Petra, Jerusalem and Haifa.
