My virtual visit to Petra

Hello everybody,

My diary-like blog didn't change a bit! This means I am still the irreversible screwed up I've always been! ;)

So the other day, I was planning a trip to one of the new 7 world wonders, Petra, in Jordan and I took the time to look up some information online. I came across a product selling on eBay by easyinfo.  I am sure many of you who read my blog remember that I posted about easyinfo audio guide in the past and this is exactly what I will do now. Provided that I really like this new product!

  The easyguide CD is entitled “Step by step Guide to Petra” CD. I went ahead and checked the product and it turned out to be a real virtual tour to the red rose city. Lucky me , I climbed up the Khofo pyramid (or at least I tried but Mrs. K said: Come down you .. Fadi!) but didn't make it to Petra yet!! Big shame!

Straight to the point now : The CD is an interactive informative audio- visual CD for anyone interested in Petra whether planning a visit to Jordan or seeking information on this world wonder. It's also loaded with information that you hardly find online even for smartest people because it's full of history narration, description of 30 monuments there and some interesting folk stories. I especially enjoyed the .. Well, everything because I simply never been there before :)

What' cool about the easyguide CD it's easy to use, you know, easy comes from easy info. The guide is not boring comes in English, Arabic, French and Spanish.

The CD cover is imprinted with the words” Step back in time and discover a world wonder”. Designed for people like me!

I will ask the guys at easyinfo to work on an iPod version of it to download online, but for the time being, I highly recommend it the way it is if you wanna feel like Indiana Jones. Simply hit to buy it at www.eBay.com and search for “Petra guide”.

 

Next post will be about my short visit to INTERPACK – Germany

Snow in Amman + Reema update

Hello all ,

Been away , a long time ..

So me and Mrs K are waiting on our next visit to the gynecologist because we'll be able to tell if it's a he or she :)

We already chose a name for it if it turns to be a she (7ala) , other wise , I'll have t do my dirty dance and find a fala7la7 name for him coz I am fond of those fala7la7y names you know.. Mrs K loves the name 7ala , so do I .

You know what , it's freezing cold , for three weeks now and it ended up snowing in Amman .. Precipitation makes the streets a bit dangerous .. Anyway, we woke up to this view this morning and we drove to work when they told Mrs. K that today is off because of the snow ... We had to get back home before it was to late and we arrived just in time  .... This is why we like snow in Jordan...

Egyptians : It never snows in Cairo!


The sweetest Reema ever walked on two legs is back from China .. This is the best that happened tis year .. so far ;)


Everybody is so happy for this except for kitty cat Rita who is being chased by Reema all the time :)


Take care everybody

New Electronic Tour Guide For Petra

easyguide is a newly launched audio guide for tourists visiting the ancient Nabataean city of Petra .

 The company behind the product is easyinfo, it is now working to develop the service to cover other tourist attractions in Jordan.

easyguide is a service that provides an audio tour guide to visitors, it is pre-loaded with commentaries pertaining to 33 most visited sites in the city in the rock, Petra and its history. Narrated by professionals in four languages; Arabic, English, French and Spanish. The commentaries are well researched and delivered in an enjoyable, pleasant format. This service is introduced in Jordan in two formats:

 1)  A hand held device that is similar to a walkman. This device is available for rent at some hotels in Petra. It is accompanied by a map of the key attractions with allocated numbers. A visitor to Petra simply punches the numbers to start listening to the corresponding commentary which may range from one to four minutes. The rental fee is JD10 per day.

 2) By dialing 0900 99 303; using any personal mobile phone, tourists can access the service and choose their option of language and site. The service is available through all mobile service providers in Jordan for the cost of 300 fils per minute. The tourist needs a map as the one shown below which contains the key attractions in Petra with allocated numbers.

 In essence, this service provides the luxury of a personal tour guide. An audio guide, when and where a tourist may needs it. Free of restrictions and time limitation.

The Notting Hillbillies

Hello all ,

Well, I didn't come here for a long time. I have read things I don't like when I tried to browse the blogs I read the most. Actually it was my small effort that I put to get an update how things went on during the past weeks since I last hit that button and logged in to Jeeran and oops , I was momta3ed jeddan when I read that story on a particular blog!!! But any way , 7asbeyea Allah wa ne3ma al wakeel!

Life is going pretty well for me & Mrs. K. Actually I blog to her every day so needless to say I need to blog online ; ) . OK , Kidding , nobody told me that when you get married days shorten by 10 hours!!! Too many thing so little time ... But all in all I am happy :)

I have many things to say here but I hardly have time to do this post now .. So inshallah later.

A short note to Mais*: Mais , wallahy I am so sorry I really forgot about the song, I tried to dig it out today but it seems Mr. K talents let him down! Sorry.

Nothing like Mark Knopfler here to say what I want to say to the very first moment I read what I earlier mentioned above (What I didn't like in the blog I visited) with a message: what is that???

Will be back

* By the way guys , I didn't see the movie and I don't know what is it all about ! Nor do I  like the clip! It's just i applaud Mr. Knopfler 's playing the guitar!

** Talking about Guitars , well , I can't wait till Ali & Tawfiq go to Japan so to steal the black Guitar and rock the neighborhood at night!!! Thee who doesn't like go get me the police ... I am wasel after all!
