Around & About – Al Abdali
The best experience as a traveler is when you discover local traditions, culture, and the things that make a place home to people who live there. Everywhere is local someone. Everyone’s taste departs from the mainstream somewhere. The more we explore alternatives in a city, the more we are drawn to them. Around & About aims to help viewers to experience Jordan through the eyes of a local. It highlights areas and neighborhoods. It puts the emphasis on the local experience. It aims to place visitors into local shoes; what activities to do, what experience to enjoy while also offering a glimpse of history. It gives life to local neighborhoods, rather than just reading about them in a city tour guide or an article in a newspaper! Each episode offers a personalized tour of a district, town or sight, allowing the viewer to explore the beauty of it, and to live its charm through the eyes of a local. Cities have so much to offer, however, many visitors only check the touristic sites off their list before moving on. The show will change your mind, when visiting Jordan! Around & About – هون وهناك is simply, Around areas, and About them!

Special thanks to the creative artist and music composer Kamal Musallam! To correct a verbal error in the first minute of the show: Jabal Al Weibdeh, one of Amman’s oldest mountains, but not one of its seven mountains!
