Sea of Food at the Dead Sea

On Day 8 of our trip to Jordan, we drove from Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea. But in the morning before we left, we first had a camel ride in the desert. It was amazing to see Wadi Rum from the back of a camel, such a peaceful way to experience Wadi Rum. Once we reached the Dead Sea we enjoyed a couple of excellent Lebanese meals. 01: 37 Camel Ride at Wadi Rum - Along with a truck safari, one of the best ways to see Wadi Rum is my taking a camel ride. Due to the rain, we couldnt ride camels the day before, so we decided to ride today in the morning. Although it quite hurt my legs, it was well worth it, and a very fun way to see Wadi Rum. After having breakfast at the tented camp, and riding the camels, we jumped in the car and started driving towards the Dead Sea. 05: 08 Mount Nebo - 1 JD (1. 41) - On the way to the Dead Sea, we stopped off at Mount Nebo, the place where God showed Moses the promised land with a view overlooking an expansive area of land, we could even see the Dead Sea. It was an amazing view. 05: 59 Ocean Restaurant (Dead Sea) - As soon as we reached the Dead Sea, we were all very hungry, so we stopped at Ocean Restaurant, a Lebanese restaurant with a view of the sea. All of a sudden they started bringing masses of mezze to our table, until the point where there was literally not a single empty space on our table. There were so many different dips and appetizer dishes to choose from including cheese sticks, kibbeh, heart of palm salad, hummus, grape leaves, tabbouleh, and moutabel. There were so many different Lebanese mezze dishes that I forgot all about the Dead Sea For our main dish at Ocean Restaurant we had a dish called sayadieh, which is a seafood platter including fish and biryani rice served with a tomato sauce. There was both fried and grilled fish, and what I really liked in the dish was that it was served with a deep fried onion, which tasted fantastic. For dessert, they brought out giant plates of fruit and a variety of different desserts including osmalieh and aish el saraya. 13: 13 Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort - After our incredible late lunch, we drove to the Crown Plaza Resort, and checked in. We stayed just for one night. 14: 07 Burj Al Hamam - Lebanese Restaurant at Crown Plaza Hotel - For dinner we ate at Burj Al Hamam, one of the most well known restaurant names in Lebanese food in Jordan. Again, we were served an impressive array of different mezze starter dishes, but they served us a few dishes that were different from what we had eaten for lunch including kibbeh nayyeh. Ive always been a huge fan of different types of raw meat dishes, and kibbeh nayyeh is the Lebanese version of raw minced beef mixed with a variety of spices. Its typically eaten with garlic sauce and olive oil to garnish, and scooped up with pieces of bread. It was amazing. For our main dish we had mixed grill, including kebabs, lamb pieces, and chicken, and then kebab khashkhash, kebabs in tomato sauce. Again, the food was excellent. my Amman, Jordan Travel Guide: (Including where to stay, what to see, safety information, and extra tips)

I really want to visit Jordan some day. When you ride a camel, it is a bit like riding a horse. Get a slight rocking motion with you hips to match the movement of the steed. That will take most of the bumping out. See movie Lawrence of Arabia to see proper seating of a camel. It is different than a horse. When the camel stands up or sets down, you should grip with your legs and put both arms up in the air. It is an Arab macho thing. I made the mistake of riding down Mt. Sania on a camel in Egypt. At Mt Sinai people climb the mountain in the middle of the night and they are on the top of the world for sunrise. If you ride down a mountain on a camel. all of your weight rests on your balls.

Mark, you and Ying are the BEST EVER duo to have ever graced Youtube. Your amazing enthusiasm and Ying's sweetness just makes the videos such a pleasurable and happy time pass. Love the content as it inspires me and my wife to travel for food too and also create great dishes for when we get back to the UK. Saw the other new video in which you actually cook yourself, which I think is a great idea in order to evolve the content you produce. Absolutely impeccable work mate, do NOT give it up. EVER All the very best to you, Ying and Mika (apologies for spelling of your sons name.

How does Mark manage to swallow a whole mouthful of food without chewing? I think his attempts to combine all ingredients of a dish together as a taste test is a good idea. It seems the secret of his food tasting videos is because he has camera-charisma. I wish his wife and son were included more often in his videos as they make a happy family. Good luck Mark in all your future eating adventures. I enjoy watching your videos very much.

Mark, God of Abraham bless you, thank you soooo much for this video. It is beautiful and informative. itSo, this area at Mt. Neob, is the promise land, Israel, towards the south of it, or what direction? And is Jordanian food the same Lebanese food, even though Jordan and Lebanon are different countries?

Mark and Ying are ambassadors of good will. More people should be like them. The places you go to are beautiful and the food is so well prepared. You tried to look happy on the camel ride but were a little too sore from it. Keep up the good work; love your films of the travels you go on.
