In Amman, Sophie Grigson meets her 'country host', Hanan Samara, who will be her guide on their Middle Eastern adventure. They first head to the beautiful Citadel which rises out of the centre of the Jordan's capital city, before plunging into the streets to sample the tastes, the clothes and the gold souk. Sophie and Hanan visit the Jordan River Foundation and stop for a mezze at the impressive Reem al-Bawadi Restaurant. Back at their hotel they indulge in some speciality cooking making Mansaf, a very traditional Jordanian dish before sitting sit back to enjoy a little belly dancing display.
