Day 2 - Amman Citdal -> Lunch at Restaurant Souk, near Mt Nebo

Our first stop upon arrival at Amman was Amman Citadel after our guide picked us up from the airport.
Amman Citadel. It started to rain and wow, it was cold. My hands were freezing. Our guide was gone before we could put on our raincoat.

Maginificant view of the plains & wilderness from the restaurant. Jericho can be seen from here. Not too sure where it is.
