The main reason for this trip was a wedding in Amman of a very good friend of mine. I started by flying into Amman, Jordan. From Amman I flew to Kuwait city to visit a friend of mine there, then flew to Bahrain. From Bahrain I flew to Aleppo in northern Syria, since Air Arabia has it's base in Sharjah (U.A.E.) I stopped there for a couple of days. I spent a little over two weeks in Syria, before going back to Amman from Damascus where I met Aggie. We spent the next few days with my friend and his family, went to the wedding, and traveled into the West Bank (Occupied Palestine) afterwards. We then came back into Jordan, travelled around for a while and flew back home.
