We arrived in Jordan to flash floods in Amman. We were told it has not rained in over a year. While everyone else was rejoicing, we were having trouble adjusting to the temperature after being in the balmy Emirates! Stairways climbing up hillsides between buildings turned into urban waterfalls. Traffic was horrendous. And our hotel lacked heat – that is, until it was cranked on and up around seven in the evening. (Oh, thank heaven!)
