I wonder where this is

You know you're in Jordan when the|king's picture is in the background

I think it was mandatory,| and still is, that in all government entities there|has to be a picture of the king

you can't see something like that even if you looked in the|archive of news or something

Oh, it's the Iraqi Airlines

This is the sound of the|call for prayer And this is I think part of|the old city.

Now you will see they are walking|and she's not covering her hair. And they wanted to say|everything in one film. So things have changed. It's nice to|know how things were in the past.

and the area he just said: Zeitun -|my grandmother talks about it a lot.

"Close your eyes." "Two steps forward." "Stay still."

"May difficulty come and take you"

That's a very Palestinian accent.|He's saying "take Fakhri with you" "You're job tonight is to do|what I told you to do."

I like her though.|She's got attitude.

Obviously the living style at|that time was a bit European. It shows in the dresses|and the music they listen to, in the furniture they have.


Philadelphia Hotel - it's the first|time I even did see pictures of it.

In 1966 there was a|Department for the Cinema. They filmed the beginnings|of everything -

Love was not like that|back then in Jordan. It was like - seeing someone,|sending your family . . . it's like that even now|sometimes, you know?


No, this is in Jerash. Where there was once water.


He told her to stay in the car He says "You take care of Amal, and|you be aware of her because she is planning something evil for us"

This is a fake-up Bedouins wouldn't sit in their tent, and have one of their daughters dance|for them. It's totally unacceptable.

What we always grew up hearing, was that there really was|nothing here in 1946.|

Now it's the action part.|With the gangsters.

Are they drunk?

He says "Yeah, you reminded me." "You put me one year in jail|because I'm a drug smuggler!"

A big fight! Obviously there's|more traitors in the gangster's team.


...because we always see this in|photographs and not in films.
