Day 29: Amman, Jordan

Fairmont Amman

20 January 2026

Our last day in Jordan and our last day of the holiday. 

We awoke refreshed - this is really a lovely hotel. We had a sumptuous breakfast at the breakfast buffet and then lounged around for a while before deciding to visit a local shopping mall.

We took a hotel car to the Aldabi Shopping Mall, about 15 minutes away. It was a perfectly nice mall - nothing special but perfectly pleasant. We wandered around looking at shops, then had a very average lunch at an Italian restaurant. After that, we called the car to take us back to the hotel.

That was followed by more lounging around and then an excellent dinner at an Asian restaurant in the hotel - our best meal of the entire trip! We had prawn dumplings, followed by green curry and rice, and a glass of wine. It was all delicious.

Now, off to bed and tomorrow we leave for our trip home to Melbourne.

    After all the walking at Petra lounging around sounds like the right thing to do.

Viking Amun Riverboat 12 January 2026 Jim coughed all night and woke with a temperature and miserable cold. Such a pity as today was our special trip to the temple of Abu Simbel. It was one of the optional trips we booked because Abu Simbel is supposed to be one of the most amazing sites in Egypt.

Hilton Cairo Heliopolis 15 January 2026 We were up nice and early today to leave our lovely riverboat and head to the Luxor Airport. We all caught a flight to Cairo and arrived mid-morning. We are staying at a hotel close to the airport this time, because everyone is going their separate ways tomorrow morning. We head off for our tour of Jordan!

Movenpick Petra Hotel 17 January 2026 We headed off in the bus this morning to nearby Mount Nebo. It turns out this is the mountain where Moses supposedly viewed the Promised Land and a Franciscan order built a monastery on the site. (Someone had a vision there, so obviously this was the right location.)
