Sharia Rainbow
We spent part of the day on Rainbow Street, which seems to be an ex-pat enclave. The area gave us the familiar and slightly uncomfortable feeling that one gets in other areas of the region that have swarms of ex-pats, like in Maadi, Egypt.
I am not quite sure why ex-pats like to congregate in one area. It seems economically irrational since the presence of a large number of foreigners will only drive up prices. While it may be cultually comforting, Jordan really does not seem as challenging of a place to live as Cairo. So one wonders why there such a need to have an enclave.
