After two nice weeks back home in Jordan, my vacation was about to end, distant heat was coming up and i was so up for it, after being sure my friends are going i took one more week off, guess what? the friends r not going! ok then one more week in Jordan while all the friends are outta town (excluding my very dear tourist guide) what to do? go Abu Dhabi, have a crazy weekend then get back to work. Ok then, i had three crazy days not knowing what to do and thinking of lots of options and in between airlines and flight schedules finally decided to go to doha, and from there to Abu Dhabi. cool.

So my friends arranged crazy plans (my favourite) and i did the same on my end. Arived to Doha, went  home, unpacked, and packed again (different stuff), then i was off to the airport, now tell me… sho na2esni?

“sorry miss, u have no visa”

i dont need a visa. I went to Dubai a couple of times, no visa.

“yes, to dubai, but u need a visa to Abu Dhabi”

huh??? but i did go from Dubai to Abu Dhabi… it’s one country.

“yes i know, you can do that again now, change your ticket to Dubai and get a ride from there to Abu Dhabi”

Thats ridiculous!! It’s the same country!!

I remember how i was puzzled when they advised me to get my Schengen visa from another country after the germans took very long before i got it… and those were different countries!! but in this case… what the…..!!?!

 tayyeb.. sho il 7al?  mafi 7al…

no distant heat, no crazy weekend with my crazy friends… not even hanging around in Amman… back to work, back to work, everybody work work work work…

All in all, i had some good and unusual times in amman that i will always remember with a smile :-D and i have a feeling it wouldnt take a whole year before i go back for a visit this time :-D
