"Jordan has been an enriching journey, filled with immersive cultural exploration and academic pursuits. Throughout my time here, I have been delving into the religious history of the region, which has been truly captivating. For example, I have visited remarkable sites such as Mount Nebo (believed to be the place where Moses saw the Promised Land) and the Baptism Site at the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized. The deep connection to religious history that resonates in Jordan is awe-inspiring, and it has given me a profound appreciation for the cultural and spiritual significance of these locations. Moreover, the landscapes in Jordan are truly breathtaking. I visited Petra, an ancient city carved into rose-colored sandstone cliffs, and the stunning desert of Wadi Rum. Exploring these mesmerizing sites, I felt transported to another world. Aside from the historical and natural wonders, the food in Jordan has been an absolute highlight. The culinary traditions here are rich and diverse, with a wide array of flavorful dishes. From falafels and hummus to mansaf and knafeh, every meal is AMAZING. The food culture in Jordan reflects the warmth and hospitality of its people, and sharing meals with locals has been an incredibly memorable experience."
