Spinning under the stars: Scottish Night

Imagine 100 Ammanites getting stuck into a night of ceilidh (kay-lee), fast-paced Scottish traditional dancing. Add a liberal application of tartan, a bagpiper, and a full buffet, and the jabal became a patch of the Highlands on 7th September.

This was a YDA event jointly organised with the British Club. For future events, visit http://ydajordan.com.

Bouncing into August drinks

Last week 25 of us went to Amman's indoor trampolining park - and bounced. A lot.

Ceilidh night coming up

July drinks at Salute

Over 60 of us made the most of a special happy hour at Salute last week, enjoying their amazing terrace with sunset views over Jebel Lweibdeh and Abdali. Next up: trampolining night on 17th August and Scottish dance night on 7th September. To join YDA, visit http://ydajordan.com.

 

June drinks at the British Club

On 15th June lots of YDA friends old and new came to enjoy the terrace at the British Club. Next regular drinks later in July. New to Amman? Join the list at http://ydajordan.com.

Hejaz Railway trip

We booked a carriage on the historic Hejaz Railway, riding from the airport back to Amman through desert, fields, and East Amman. For more events, join the list at http://ydajordan.com!

Scavenger Hunt

YDA's Scavenger Hunt last Friday saw eleven teams following clues and completing challenges around Rainbow Street, collecting points while getting to know Amman a little better. There was of course the chance to swap stories and meet other members at a happy hour afterwards! Only those who took part will really understand what some of these photos mean...
