Today is our last day in Jordan and we are going to be taking it pretty easy before our flight. The last few days have been fairly exhausting. We visited HSBC Jordan to get a presentation from the CEO, Karen Adams, and also had the opportunity to meet the Canadian Ambassador to Jordan, Margaret Huber, to whom we presented our arguements for and against capping compensation.
Following that visit the next morning, we visited the Citadel, which also had Greek ruins reminiscent of the ruins at Jerash.
We also visited the Arab International Islamic Bank and though our professor told the bank executives that we had been doing much travelling and asked him to grill us on questions, the bank executive, after hearing our questions about Islamic financial instruments, chuckled and jokingly replied: "Your students are grilling me on questions. They seem to know quite a bit about Islamic finance."
Our last official day, yesterday, we spent visiting Petra, a magnificent garden of magnanimous mountains and necropolis for the Nabatean people.
You could tell the Greek and Roman influences on their architecture. Several hours of walking through the passes surrounded by towering rock faces followed by stretches of open and undulating terrain.
