Gerne habe ich die Einladung angenommen. So viel Gastfreundschaft! Die Frauen feiern in einem separaten Zelt, so ist das im Mittleren Osten. Die Männer tanzen und singen den ganzen Abend lang, es gibt MANSAF, das Nationalgericht mit Reis, Lamm und Yoghurtsauce, Kaffee und Tee, und Shishas zum Rauchen. Zu meinem Glück war am Abend auch Khalid da, der Englischlehrer von Azraq. Er machte mich mit dem 105 Jahre alten Stammesältesten bekannt, erzählte von der Struktur der Sippe, und dass der Boss sein Vermögen mit Handel und Schmuggel im Dreiländereck Iraq - Syrien - Jordanien gemacht habe. Es sei normal, dass vermögende Beduinen mit 3 bis 4 Frauen bis 20 oder mehr Kinder hätten, so seien sie untereinander alle verwandt, Onkels oder Cousins oder Neffen. Meine Fuji Kamera war sehr gefragt, alle wollten ein Porträt haben von sich, oder mit ihrem besten Freund zusammen. Einige fotografierten es ungeduldig mit ihrem Smartphone vom Screen meiner Kamera. Die bearbeiteten Fotos wird Khalid dann im Stamm an die Porträtierten weiterleiten. Was für ein Privileg, an diesem Fest teilzunehmen - ganz herzlichen Dank!

Apamea or Apameia (Greek: Απάμεια; Arabic: آفاميا, Afamia) was a treasure city and stud-depot of the Seleucid kings, was capital of Apamene, on the right bank of the Orontes River.
Previously known as Pharmake, it was fortified and enlarged by Seleucus I Nicator in 300 BC, who so named it after his Bactrian wife, Apama.
Josephus (Ant. xiv. 3. § 2) relates, that Pompey marching south from his winter quarters, probably at or near Antioch, razed the fortress of Apamea in 64 BC whence the city was annexed to the Roman Republic. In the revolt of Syria under Q. Caecilius Bassus, it held out against Julius Caesar for three years till the arrival of Cassius, 46 BC. (Dion. Cass. xlvii. 26–28; Joseph. Bel. Jud. i. 10. § 10.) On the outbreak of the Jewish War, the inhabitants of Apamea spared the Jews who lived in their midst, and would not suffer them to be murdered or led into captivity (Josephus, Bell. Jud. ii. 18, § 5). Destroyed by Chosroes I in the 7th century it was partially rebuilt and known in Arabic as Famia or Fâmieh; and destroyed by an earthquake in 1152. In the Crusades it was still a flourishing and important place and was occupied by Tancred.
The acropolis hill is now occupied by the ruins called Kalat el-Mudik (Kŭlat el-Mudîk). The ruins of a highly ornamental character, and of an enormous extent, are still standing, the remains, probably, of the temples of which Sozomen speaks; part of the town is enclosed in an ancient castle situated on a hill; the remainder is to be found in the plain. In the adjacent lake are the celebrated black fish, the source of much wealth.

Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ, Ancient Greek Πέτρα) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.
Established possibly as early as 312 BCE as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as its most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die."
