Armchair travel takes on a whole new dimension with the launch of the first webcams in the Middle East. The Jordan Tourism Board has teamed with EarthCam to launch a collection of live-streaming webcams showcasing some of the country’s most iconic locations.

The webcams act as a virtual passport offering live views of Jordan’s top sites including the Citadel in Amman where excavations have uncovered Roman, Byzantine and early Islamic artifacts. A second webcam in Amman sweeps viewers high above city streets for a bird’s-eye view of Jordan’s capital city.

A webcam located at the Dead Sea holds the title “lowest webcam on the planet” and a webcam in Aqaba showcases Jordan’s window to the sea with uninterrupted views of the Read Sea. The collection also includes a webcam at the ancient site of Petra. Jordan’s most well-known attraction is a vast city carved into sheer rock face by Arab Nabataean civilization more than 2,000 years ago.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”

Why Japan Is Best Explored by Sea with Princess

Japan is a destination that rewards repeat visits because no two regions — or seasons —  feel quite the same. One moment, you’re wandering through centuries-old geisha districts in Kanazawa. The next, you’re watching neon reflections dance across Tokyo streets long after midnight.
