  • Cycle Jordan Brochure
    cycle Jordan actionchallenge in Jordan This sensational cycle challenge takes us back in time to biblical sites, Crusader castles, the Dead Sea and the ancient city of Petra. It’s a fantastic week break in the warmth of an historic and welcoming land. We cycle along isolated sunbaked roads from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea, with the domes of Jerusalem and Bethlehem glinting in the distance. We speed downhill to the lowest point on earth for a float in the Dead Sea, witness the might of the Shoubak Crusader castle and cycle across the Edom plateau through stunning desert scenery, unchanged for thousands of years. Visiting Petra is the highlight of our trip. This 2,000 year old site, carved into the rock face, was once a thriving city at the centre of the ancient silk and spice routes. Our first impression will be built upon the magnificent treasury before we climb the steps of this ancient city, worn down by centuries of use, to Petra’s awe-inspiring Monastery. No trip to Jordan would be complete without a night in the desert spent at a traditional Bedouin camp. We sit together around the campfire, share a BBQ dinner and watch for shooting stars in the desert night sky. We toast the archaeological beauty of Jordan, the shimmering heat of the ride and the new friends we’ve made with a celebratory dinner in Aqaba on the shores of the Red Sea. at a glance trip highlights ● Activity: Cycling - Touring ● Explore the city of Madaba and Mount Debo ● Location: Jordan - Red Sea ● Float in the salty waters of the dead sea ● Duration: 9 days / 6 days cycling ● Cycle through Maai’n mountains ● Difficulty: Moderate ● Witness the grandeur of the Rose City of Petra ● Distance: 327 km ● Enjoy snorkelling in the Red Sea ● Group size: 15 -25 ● Spend a night under the stars in a Bedouin tent ● Visit the 12th century crusader castle of Shoubak Action Challenge have been leading inspirational team adventures across the world for individuals, private groups, charities and corporate clients since 1999.

  • My Trip to Jordan
    My Trip to Jordan Whenever family and friends comment on my wanderlust, I’m compelled to remind them I’ve only been to 22 countries in my lifetime, and while that might seem like a high number to some it only constitutes about eleven percent of the world’s total. I think what impresses people most is the frequency of my travels, having been to 18 countries in just the last seven years. My seniority at the United States Postal Service allows me five weeks of vacation leave annually, and I try to utilize as much of this time for world travel as I can. What I seldom explain to people is why I’ve chosen the countries I have visited. For the most part I’ve been narrowing my selection process to include one of two basic criteria. Global warming aside, the world is changing rapidly. There have been fundamental societal shifts in the past three decades, facilitated in no small part by new technologies that have connected the people of this planet like never before, modernizing and shrinking the world all at the same time. For this reason I’ve focused much of my recent travels on those emerging countries that are quickly transforming themselves via technology and modern industry. In other words, I want to experience these cultures before even the most rural of villages acquires WiFi. I must admit, though, it is becoming harder and harder to find such places. The other basic consideration affecting my travel plans is a bit more drastic, based on dire geopolitical developments over the past fifteen years.

  • Lebanon – Allawi Muslim Sect – Syrian Ba'ath Party – Sunni Militants
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: LBN31663 Country: Lebanon Date: 3 May 2007 Keywords: Lebanon – Allawi Muslim sect – Syrian Ba’ath party – Sunni militants – Akkar region This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Please provide information on the Allawi Muslim sect in Lebanon. 2. Please provide information on the organisation, size and role of the Syrian Ba’ath Party in Lebanon, and in Tripoli. 3. Are there any reports of recent attacks on members of the Ba’ath party by persons or groups in the Lebanese community? 4. Is there any information on whether there is any conflict between any known Sunni groups and members of the Ba’ath party. 5. Is it likely that a person would not be able to seek assistance from the Lebanese police in the event they were threatened for reasons of his membership or imputed membership of the Ba’ath Party? 6. Where is the Akkar region in Lebanon and is it an area which is under the protection of Syrian security authorities or influence? How far is Khoura Dahr El Ein from the Akkar region? RESPONSE 1. Please provide information on the Allawi Muslim sect in Lebanon. Information on the Allawi (or Alawite) Muslim sect in Lebanon is not extensive. The Alawite community is one of the smallest Muslim religious communities in Lebanon and one of eighteen religious groups which are officially recognised in the country (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report – Lebanon, 15 September http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71426.htm – Accessed 23 April 2007 – Attachment 1).

Precipitation is concentrated in areas along the Jordan Valley. With an increase in demand due to water resource shortages and population growth, and the high rate of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) that is said to be between 40% and 60%, water supply restrictions (time-restricted supply of water) are applied throughout the country. Water is supplied only about 50 hours a week in the capital city of Amman, about 24 to 30 hours a week in areas along the Jordan Valley, and sometimes less than 10 hours a week in small villages. JICA has been implementing the Capacity Development Project for Non-Revenue Water Reduction in Jordan (technical cooperation project) from August 2005 to August 2008 with an aim to improve the capacity of the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) in terms of its symptomatic measures taken against NRW.
