Anyone visiting the Middle East can immediately sense how their people care about making sure tourists will eat very well. Serving good food and good beverage are part of the Palestinian behaviour and way of life. Abundance of bread, meat, tabule, eggplant, stew, spicy dishes and so. These are pretty much the essence of Jordan cuisine.
Colors, aromas and sounds all mixed and as varied as possible. Entering this market leaves anyone open-mouthed and dazzled by its vast cultural and gastronomic richness. It is one of the largest markets in the entire Middle East and, of course, the largest in Jerusalem. Israel has wonderful markets, but Mahane Yehuda has an incomparable level.
I believe many of those who will read this article, just like me, have never had Jordan on their traveling bucket list. There are those who recognize it as the country of the archaeological city of Petra; others talk about Jordan because of the Dead Sea. And those thinking of visiting the East are most likely to go to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Morocco. But few go to Jordan.
