On Tuesday morning ,at exactly 7:05 a.m., i left Nablus on my way to Amman to visit my relatives there. This is not my first time to Amman, but i feel nostalgic each time i lrave my people and my country. I was listening to An-Najah station, the situations were tense everywhere, that made me more worry about everyone i left behind.
Jericho is the city where we head if we want to travel anywhere in the world, i know that we are there when i start seeing these beautiful mountains below, also the palm trees and green houses. when you go to Jericho you experience the feeling of becoming diff ( Jericho is 800 feet below sea level, it is the lowest city in the whole world .)
The road takes about 45 minutes, then i headed to Jericho departure hall, after that, we passed about 5 Israeli check points and change our bus at each point , these are mandatory security procedures varies between checking our passports and our Palestinian's IDs.
Our journey to Jordan begins by passing a beautiful valley called " wadi Shuia'b" , the geographical nature is similar to Jericho, the mountains look white too and the pressure on my ears still very high. Little by little, the geographical nature changes, the white mountains disappears, i start seeing olives trees cover the mountains and the air pressure return to normal.
The road to Amman takes about 45 minutes, the roads and the general scenes are similar to Nablus, actually i feel like I'm home, the people are very friendly, the streets, the buildings and everything around me is very familiar, I never felt strange when I'm here and that is a good feeling (y). Here is a little information that will probably amazed you, Amman is only about 160 km from Nablus, if we exclude the procedures, the journey takes no more than 2 hours by car, that's another reason why i feel like I'm home, As a mater of a fact, Amman is closer to Nablus than Hebron !! Surprising right ,, My next blog will be about interesting places i will go , the friendly people of Jordan and the similarities between those beautiful two cities :) .
