The twin cities of Cairo/Giza can only be described as utter madness. Harboring around 21 million people, I was surprised to learn it’s the most populous city in all of Africa and the Middle East. Immediately upon leaving the airport, it feels that way. The rules of the road (or lack thereof) are complete chaos and essentially lawless. Cars honk and swerve from all directions, cramming themselves into one another. Entire families, sometimes four or five people, stack themselves on…
I honestly didn’t have too many expectations before venturing to Jordan with my girlfriend and her family. I’d known about the Petra for a long time, and had heard the Dead Sea was one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, and I knew it was in the Middle East, but that’s about it.

The Queen Mum must have awoken with a good rogering this morning because there were some weird, wild gems to be found today. I invite you to join me, on a click bait adventure, as gloriously traveled by me. So sit back, grab a glass of your favorite coffee, vino, or beverage of choice and tag along with the click or tap…
