My second recipe for this Holly month of Ramadan is Hummus.
I blogged about it’s origin, benefits, essentials, how to be creative with it and most importantly; how to make it.
I believe Hummus is a signature to all Arab households, how you make it, what garnish you use, and how you present it, defines you. For the love of Hummus check out my blog post and leave your comment.
Have a blessed Iftar. Click on the photo below to be redirected to the recipe site.

We all know that what we learn from our travels, can never be learnt anywhere close to our comfort zone “home”. But, traveling also made me realize that what I can learn back home can never be learnt anywhere else around the world.
So I decided to use my skills in organizing events and dedicate my time to put together projects that are both educational & inspirational. Projects that combine talented local artists, with topics that are not fairly explored in this region, and most importantly projects I find Art in.
My first project will be covering Photography. The art, passion, diversity, and possible opportunities this topic can offer.
Project Photography
Will take place in Amman, Jordan on the 14th of June until the 21st of June 2014. This project will cover the basic needs of understanding the use of professional cameras, and a general brief on photography. Then it will cover 4 topics with 4 of the best Jordanian photographers, the project will end with an open exhibition where all the talented photographers and their participants exhibit their best photographs.

In the exhibition, visitors will experience viewing over 10 photos of each topic. This experience will enable our understanding to the present diversity in the way we see things, frame them, understand topics and choose to capture each moment.
Thanks to my main sponsor Canon who supported me to cover my expenses and help make a small project a successful one. & Thanks to Spin FM for sponsoring my radio ads.
I will be posting more. Hoping to see the Art in this project together.
Almost everywhere around the world, Downtown is where the primary shops are located and the best of the events take place, it is where everyone wants to hang out and be at, but in Amman, the capital city of Jordan, things are a little different.

I published a page few days ago about my night in Wadi Rum. It is not my first time there but it sure is my first night. And this is just the beginning for me for I have found gems in the desert that night.
Wadi Rum is a desert in Jordan with several available camps that you can sleep in for a very low price. The camps are clean, neat and safe “as far as I have experienced & heard”.
You need to have a sleeping bag “if you wish to sleep under the starlight & not inside your tent” you also need to have a “Hygienic Kit” and some “tissue paper” for if it is needed.
As for what can be done at the desert… It is countless but I will count a few that I have done in the 2 days I spent there:
1. Camp 2. Hike 3. Mountain Climb 4. Slide on Sand 5. Drink Bedouin Tea 6. Eat Bedouin Food “delicious to a certain extent” 7. Star Gaze 8. Meditate 9. Visit Bedouin Tents 10. Ride Camel 11. Fly on a Hot air balloon “that I actually didn’t do yet” 12. Watch the Sunset in the Middle of Desert until the Desert is only lit by the Moon & Star Lights 13. Watch the Sunrise 14. Drive inside the Desert “You will need a 4by4” 15. Meet Bedouins & listen to their Desert Stories 16. Build a Fire at Night & Drink more Tea 17. Walk BareFoot while it’s Day Light.
