Day 1 - Jordan (Mount Nebo & Movenpick Hotel)

Saturday, 8th March 2008

Just like the itinerary says, we arrive today, today also we start moving. We unpacked and re-packed our stuff to smaller bags and head to Mount Nebo after Jama' Taqdim Zuhur & Asar.

It was almost a 45 minutes drive there from home. Even the streets and roads going there are not for the altitude-challenged. Jordan's historical places were mostly located at mountainous regions which makes our lil Bukit Shahbandar or Markuching seems like child's play.
Mount Nebo was the place Nabi Allah Musa S.A. Read more about it here. We get to see the Uyun Musa (Moses' Springs) that connects to the Dead Sea. Sayangnya, in the earlier centuries, the place was bought by the Italians and they declared it theirs. Now, the Mount Nebo Memorial of Moses is where christians come and see one of the oldest church in the world and other stories relating to it.This post will be updated later....

Masa ani kan bejalan dulu.. see ya..We miss everyone back home!

More pics of Muz'im in Mount Nebo can be in my flickr. Nini Girl & Nini Boy, please view here.

After Mount Nebo, we moved on to stay at the Movenpick Hotel - they have great ice-cream. Kononnya kami atu kan meliat sunset near the Dead Sea tapi the whole day it was foggy. Matahari pun betapuk.

I had to post that romantic picture above, it was taken by Muz'im... steady jua.
More pictures here.
