Lina, Zaid, Nuha and I went to Al-Jubaiha Theme Park yesterday.  Think permanent carnival and you’ve got the picture.  It was surprisingly inexpensive (usually 1-2 JD/ride) and not crowded at all.

We went on a small version of a looping pirate ship (which didn’t go all the way upside-down) and a 4-seater small roller coaster–like the mousetrap that is common at most US parks.  It was a hoot!  Lina and Zaid also went on one that flipped completely upside down, but I was too hot to do that one.  No caramel corn–but open roasted chickpeas and other Arab delights.  We didn’t eat though.  Lina and I also enjoyed the mirror house (with silly mirrors that made us look funny).  We finished the evening with a pleasant ride on the Ferris wheel, which gave us a nice view of the area.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite high enough to see over the hill to Amman proper, but still a nice night view.

Will post pics if I can get them from Lina…
