They have those things all over Greece and Italy too, so no need to go to Jordan or Syria to see them.

Briton 'shot dead' in Amman
Monday September 4, 2006
A gunman has killed a British man and injured five western tourists and a local guide, at a Roman amphitheatre in Amman, according to the Jordanian government.
Reuters is reporting that the gunman chanted as he fired at the tourists visiting the popular site, which is in the centre of the Jordanian capital.
Nasser Joudeh, from the Jordanian government, said the wounded were three Britons, one Dutch, one New Zealander and the Jordanian guide
Jordanian police have cordoned off the site.
"I was walking when I saw someone pull out a pistol from his pocket and start shouting Allahu Akbar (God is Greatest) and fire repeatedly," Mohammad Jawad Ali, an Iraqi who witnessed the shooting told the news agency.
"Then I saw one tourist who appeared to be dead and three who were injured. They were in a group of seven. A woman told me they were tourists from New Zealand and England."

Me too, LOL, and I often ask a question that was answered in the article. More fun that way, and you give other people the opportunity to think you're a slackard by not reading the whole thing.

They're Infidels, so just breathing/ being alive is wrong.
I wonder if this is Jorash? We went there in 1999. I cannot imagine being in the Middle East these days. And frankly, the Roman ruins in safe places are equally amazing.
hahah, you do? Post without reading the entire article? I comment without reading the entire article too. hahah.
No Westerners ought to be going to the Middle East to sight-see these days. It is far too dangerous and should be regarded as a war zone.
Yeah--touring the middle east.
