The making of knafeh in Souq Jara. Knafeh is a traditional middle eastern dessert made with cheese, syrup, dough, and topped of with nuts. A must-try in Amman!

Selfie of some classmates and the helpers of a fruits and vegetable market near the University of Jordan. My class learned the vocabulary for fruits and vegetable that day and we had to do an interview with the people in the market to practice our Jordanian Arabic.
