**Itinerary:**
**Day 1:**
**Amman Airport – Amman City Tour – Petra Hotel**
Ahlan Wa Sahlan! Welcome to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan!
Arrive to Amman on any flight on the morning of the trip **before 10:30am**, our representative will assist you on arrival with the immigration procedure.
**Meeting time in Airport:** 12pm
Begin your day with a city tour of Jordan's capital. Amman, also known as Rabbath Ammon in the Bible, is a vibrant modern city. The historical sites are situated downtown, where we will visit the Citadel, housing remnants from the Roman to the early Islamic period. We'll then visit the Archaeological Museum, wander through the Souq to experience daily life, and conclude at the 2nd-century Roman Theatre with 6000 seats. Afterward, we'll proceed to your hotel in Petra for check-in and overnight stay.
**Day 2:**
**Petra Visit**
After breakfast, we will journey to the captivating red rose city of Petra, Jordan's most renowned attraction. Petra's origins date back to around the 6th century B.C., when it was established by the Nabataean Arabs, a nomadic tribe that settled in the region and established a thriving commercial empire that stretched into Syria. Accompanied by our adventure leader, we will traverse the canyon known as the Siq, leading to Petra's most iconic structure: the Treasury. Continuing along the Street of Facades, we'll explore the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh's Castle. You'll also have some free time to explore Petra at your leisure, perhaps even climbing the 800 stairs to reach the Monastery El Deir.
**Day 3:**
**Petra Hotel – Little Petra – Wadi Rum 2 H Jeep Ride – Wadi Rum Camp**
In the morning, we'll embark on a journey to the otherworldly landscape of Little Petra, where we'll explore Siq el-Barid, often referred to as the "Mini Petra," featuring its own modest gorge (Siq) leading to an array of intricately carved tombs and monuments. Following our visit, we'll continue our journey southward for approximately 1.5 hours to the protected expanse of Wadi Rum, renowned as one of the most striking desert landscapes globally. Here, traditional Bedouin communities still thrive, and on a thrilling 4x4 Jeep tour, you'll traverse through canyons, across sand dunes, and encounter ancient Nabatean rock inscriptions. Upon arrival at your camp, check-in and indulge in a delightful dinner amidst the tranquil desert surroundings.
**Day 4:**
**Wadi Rum Camp – Kings Way – Mt. Nebo – Madaba – Dead Sea Hotel**
After breakfast, we embark on a scenic journey along the historic King's Way, an ancient caravan route of great significance. Our first stop is at Wadi Al-Mujib, a vast valley adorned with magnificent geological formations. Continuing our expedition, we arrive at Mount Nebo, the revered site where Prophet Moses beheld the Promised Land before his passing. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore the ancient monastery and marvel at panoramic views encompassing the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and segments of the Holy Land. Our journey then takes us to Madaba, where we'll visit the renowned St. George's Church to admire its celebrated 6th-century mosaic map of Palestine. Finally, we proceed to your hotel by the Dead Sea for check-in, where the unique, mineral-rich waters await. You can spend the remainder of the day at your leisure, perhaps by floating effortlessly in the buoyant waters, indulging in a therapeutic black mud treatment known for its skin benefits, and soaking in the serene atmosphere and unique landscape.
**Day 5:**
**Dead Sea Hotel – Amman Airport**
After breakfast, we will collect you from the lobby of your hotel and drop you off at Amman Airport by 9 a.m. Bid farewell to Jordan—Ma'a Salamah!

Saints & Sinkholes | Eid Weekend in Lebanon
**Lebanon is that pocket-sized powerhouse** that somehow fits 10,000 years of history, ski slopes, beach clubs, Roman mega-temples, and the world’s best mezze into an area smaller than Qatar. You can literally have breakfast by the Mediterranean, lunch in the mountains, and dinner in a rooftop bar that **feels like Paris and Dubai had a baby**. Buckle up – this place hits different.
**They don’t call it the “Switzerland of the Middle East” for nothing**: snow-capped peaks, ancient cedars older than Jesus, and valleys so deep monks built monasteries into the cliffs just to flex. The name “Lebanon” even comes from the ancient word for “white” – yeah, those snowy mountains have been the national brand since forever.
History? Phoenicians invented the alphabet here, Romans dropped the most over-the-top temples outside Italy, Crusaders built castles, Ottomans added souks and soap empires. Modern chapter got messy – civil war, heartbreak, rebuild, repeat – but Beirut rose from the ashes like the ultimate comeback kid and reclaimed its title: **“Paris of the East 2.0”.**
And the food? **Mezze spreads so good you’ll forget calories exist.** Labneh that slaps harder than your ex, grilled meats dripping with garlic sauce, and enough olive oil to keep the Mediterranean shiny.
Ready? Let’s roll.
**Day 1 // Thursday :: Touchdown Beirut**
Meet at DXB, hop on the direct FZ-159 to BEY. Land, breeze through arrivals, and get whisked to the hotel. Night owls? First taste of Beirut nightlife – the city that never sleeps (and probably invented after-parties).
**Day 2 // Friday :: Crusader Castles, Soap Kings & Cliff Monks**
Road-trip north to Tripoli, Lebanon’s underrated second city with serious old-school swagger.
* Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles – biggest Crusader fortress in the country, panoramic sea views included.
* Get steamy (literally) at Hammam Ezzedine, a 14th-century bathhouse still looking fresh.
* Dive into the souks: spices, vintage caftans, and soap so legendary it has its own palace (Khan Al Saboun – watch olive-oil soap being born).
Afternoon: Qadisha Valley – aka the “Holy Valley.” Think Lord of the Rings scenery with monasteries carved into cliffs like ancient Jedi temples. Easy to moderate hike past hermit caves and cedar groves, ending at Qozhaya Monastery (home to the Middle East’s first printing press, 17th-century flex). Overnight inside the monastery, we’re going full spiritual glow-up.
**Day 3 // Saturday :: Waterfalls, Roman Megalomania & Wine O’Clock**
Morning magic: Baatara Gorge Sinkhole – a 250 m sinkhole abyss with three natural bridges and a waterfall that drops through like nature’s own stunt show. National Geographic called it one of the world’s most beautiful sinkholes; we just take pics, don't judge.
Then: Baalbek (ancient Heliopolis). The Romans showed up and said “hold my wine” – built the largest temple in the entire empire. Six columns of Jupiter’s temple still stand 19 m tall, and the Temple of Bacchus is so perfectly preserved it looks Photoshopped. Bonus: the biggest stone block ever cut (1,650 tons!) still chilling in the nearby quarry like the ancients gave up mid-lift.
Evening: Château Ksara – Lebanon’s OG winery since 1857, run by Jesuits who discovered Roman caves and thought, “Wine cellar, obviously.” Tour the creepy-cool tunnels, taste the goods, realize Lebanon makes banger reds. Back to Beirut for the night.
**Day 4 // Sunday :: Beirut, Baby**!
Capital energy unlocked:
* Downtown time travel: Phoenician ruins → Roman baths → Ottoman palaces → bullet-scarred “Holiday Inn” war relic (now iconic).
* Gemmayze & Mar Mikhael – street art, indie cafés, bars in stairwells, the works.
* Corniche stroll, mandatory Pigeon Rocks selfie, optional boat ride under the cliffs.
* Sunset drinks somewhere rooftop, mezze coma, then “keshek el-fouqara” (poor man’s goodbye) as we head to the airport.
Four days. One tiny country. Lifetime memories.
**Grade:** Easy – available for everyone.
**Activities:** Cultural immersion, trekking, sightseeing.
**Cost:**
**3,250 AED** **excluding flights or 6,300 AED incl. flights** **until FEB 28th.**
Past this date cost will change.
**Accommodation & Meals:** **4 star hotel** **&** **monastery** **stay** \- shared rooms\, meals excluded\.
**Specifically Excluded:** Visa expenses (if any), meals.
**Visa:**
Visa on arrival for most passports. See details [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Lebanon).
*It is sole responsibility of participant to secure entry to country of destination.*

Billionaire Toastmaster Meeting
Recent research from World Economic Forum highlights that employers value communication, leadership and EQ along with Technical Skills , now you know why Toastmaster is relevant for you.
Soft skills aren’t just “nice extras”—they’re what help you actually succeed in today’s fast-moving, hybrid, and sometimes messy workplace.
Think about it:
* Can you explain a complicated idea in a way that actually makes sense to someone outside your field?
* Can you listen and work well with others, even when things feel stressful?
* Can you manage your time, emotions, and energy when everything seems due at once?
These skills don’t just help you get by—they help you grow and stand out. While you can pick up a new tool or software pretty quickly, things like emotional awareness, communication, and resolving conflict take real practice over time.
That’s why good employers look beyond resumes filled with technical terms. They want people who can adapt, connect, and lead—no matter their role or level of experience
Billionaire Toastmasters Meeting
The brain naturally organizes life around calendars, and year boundaries help us frame long-term goals more clearly and track progress meaningfully. A new year offers a fresh canvas—an opportunity to reset, refocus, and recommit to growth.
Join us for a Toastmasters meeting on this theme, to be held on Friday, 9th January at 6:45 PM, at the Mankhool Public Library
Building Leaders Toastmasters Club | Every 2nd and 4th Friday | 06:00 - 08:30 PM
The mission of **Building Leaders Toastmasters Club** is to provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.
We meet every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month form 06:00 PM to 08:30 PM.

Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Curtain Players Local Playhouse 🎭 Tickets are on sale now!
TBA- We will do lunch before the play too! Tickets are on sale now only $20.
