Tucked away in the backyard of Amman, Wadi Seer is a lovely valley with quiet villages, lots of children, hidden caves and the ruins of a palace.
It all sounded easy enough: take a minibus to Suweileh, change to a minibus to Wadi Seer, and from there catch a taxi to Araq al Amir. Somehow, however, we ended up in another village. The busdriver pointed to the two seats behind his own, and took us back to the crossroads where we had been before. From there, it was a short walk to a bus stop and a short hop to Wadi Seer, where another minivan took us to the ruins, but not until it was completely full with passengers. As we continued, we left the cold of Amman behind and entered a lovely valley, with a river running through it, friendly green vegetation on the slopes of the hills.
