Get more Amman travel tips, things to do, where to stay, and delicious food here: On Day 4 of our trip to Jordan, we started off in Amman where we had a wonderful simple and local style breakfast of manakish, which are rounds of dough which are flattened, topped with simple things like zaatar and cheese, and baked in an oven. We then took a day trip to As-Salt or also just known as Salt, a historical city about a 45 minute drive from the center of Amman. The highlight of the day for me was the giant shish kebab meat platter that we ate for lunch 00: 38 Manakish - Manakish is something youll eat a lot of when you visit the Levant and in Jordan its a very popular snack and meal. Manakish is a piece of rounded dough which is flattened out and topped in a variety of different things. We ordered a manakish topped with zaatar, a special herb thyme blend, and also a couple topped with Jordanian white cheese, which is similar to halloumi cheese. They were all excellent mainly because they were baked so fresh and just used simple but delicious ingredients. Price - 1 JD (1. 41) each 04: 20 Day to to As-Salt, Historic Old Salt Museum - 1 JD (1. 41) - Out main activity of the day was taking a short day trip to Salt, an ancient and historical city that was one of the commercial and trade centers of Jordan. We started off at the Historic Salt Museum, where we had a tour and learned a little bit about the importance of the city and how it influenced and shaped Jordan. We then took a stroll through Hamam street, the center old market street in Salt. 07: 27 Al-Salam Restaurant - For lunch we went to a Jordanian meat bbq restaurant in the center of Salt called Al-Salam Restaurant. The first dish I tasted was the hummus ma lahma, a plate of hummus topped with minced meat fried in lard - it took hummus to the next level - it was absolutely incredible. Then came galayet with meat, a thick tomato based dish with minced meat in it as well. It was delicious with bread. From there, this Jordanian meal just got better and better. Arayes is a dish of bread stuffed with minced lamb and seasoning, then grilled over charcoal. The fat from the lamb makes the bread nearly taste like its deep fried because it gets so crispy, yet its merely grilled - and it was insanely delicious. But the ultimate winner of our Jordanian meat feast this time was the platter of shish kebabs and lamb pieces. The minced meat was mixed with parsley and seasoning, salted quite heavily, then grilled over hot charcoal. The mix and ratio of meat to fat ensured that the meat had an incredibly pronounced smoky taste

I am bi-racial African American, Native American and Caucasian and my Boss is from Jordan he loves to cook for me and take me to different restaurants to show me his culture. I always act like it wasn't that good to see where he takes me next but jokes on him I love it all. My favorite dish is the upside down or Maqluba I believe it is called.

It's pretty nuts how Lebanon and Jordan have nearly exactly the same culture and food and they are neighbors and live in exactly the same place but their countries look totally different. You can tell that this is Jordan and that is Lebanon. That's so weird

Food looks unbelievably good. God I love this kind of Meditteranean/Middle Eastern food. I've been inspired by your vids. I've been eating a mainly med/Mid East diet for 6 months now. cheap, delicious and healthy and I honestly feel healthy.
