Scottish dance night

We're a bit late on this blog, but on 2nd May we enjoyed an incredible night of energetic folk dancing. Interested in future YDA events? Sign up at http://ydajordan.com

Pizza in a kanisa

For this month's drinks we were welcomed to St Joseph's for a cosy evening of Italian-style pizza and local beer on the terrace.

Madaba bar crawl

Last Thursday we hired a bus to Madaba for a delicious mezze dinner and drinks deals at three bars. Fun times!

Cafe de Paris

This month's drinks were back in Weibdeh.

Jordan Trail hike

On 3rd March we tackled the first stage of the Jordan Trail, walking the 26km from Umm Qais to Ziglab. What a beautiful route it was through green wadis and wildflower hills, looking down on Wadi Arab dam and even spotting Jordan's national flower, the black iris. 

Second birthday party

DJ Shusmo spun the decks for us at Uncle Sam on 15th February to celebrate two years of YDA.

Trampolining night

Last week 40 of us headed to Gravity for some serious bouncing!

 

Kicking off 2018

We had an excellent turnout at Weibdeh's newest bar, Rustic, last Wednesday. Nice to see so many old and new faces coming to mix at YDA!

Season finale

What a year it's been for YDA: 24 events, hundreds of connections, and thousands of laughs. To celebrate, 160 of us danced the night away to DJs Mieszko and B-Side on 14th December. Thanks to everyone for making it a fun-filled 12 months!

Partying with Petra Beer

Last Friday we danced the night away at the relaunch party for Petra Beer, with amazing DJs and an awesome vibe.

The olive harvest

We had fun joining Abu al Abd at his trees last weekend, followed by an organic brunch at Yanboot.

Monthly social

We headed to Chestnut last week for our regular extended happy hour!

Train trippin'

We rode the historic Hejaz Railway again last weekend, from the airport back to Amman.

The date harvest

On 7th October we were given a warm welcome at Arar Farms in the Jordan Valley. We joined in the harvest, learned more about date production, and were treated to a delicious lunch!
