Overview

Coming from Damascus or Jerusalem, Amman looks like an absolute hell hole. You’ll more than likely be stuck here in transit or because you’re visiting  Petra. Try and get here on the weekend so you can at least find a pulse.

The Girls

Jordan is a great place to get your refugee game on, with nearly 2 million Palestinians and half a million Iraqi refugees in the country.

Ethnic Jordanian girls are similar to others in the Levant, but they are slightly darker. The typical look is dark and sultry with pear shaped bodies. They standard is not as high as other places in the region, but you still get a few cuties, especially from Palestine. English is pretty prevalent.

West Amman is where you will find the most affluent and liberal women. Unfortunately, hotels are very expensive in this part of town. City mall and Mecca Mall are the best places for day game.

Where to buy Marijuana: People tend to buy mj through friends contact. Smokers tend to be in closed communities where its not ‘out in the open’. Even though Amman is a big place, everyone tends to know everyone and word gets around quicker than the dust kicking about it at best of times. So its best to keep it well within trusted friends.

Prices: Depends on the season. Don’t pay more than $5 a gram.

Marijuana prices: Police in Jordan tend to know very little about drugs, well that’s for the average cop on the street. I heard from a few police in downtown that they assumed pot is sniffed like charlie. Some of the ciggs that you find from the builders (mostly Egyptian nationals) tend to look like a j, and on occasion smell like one too.

Nightlife Recommendations

Amman nightlife is not great – it’s spread out, expensive, and limited. However, it is organised and getting better by the day. Facebook is used to get crowds. I have  two recommendations that are around the same area (7th circle). If you want to know more on where to go I recommend you “like” this page: Amman Nightlife.

Terminal Pub

Easily the coolest bar in Amman imo. This rock/reggae themed place looks cool, it always have drink offers, it has a pool table and the staff are cool. Facebook page here. Warm up here before bouncing to…

Switch (51)

The in-place at the minute. This is the place to be. Like many venues in the capital, you will need to ring ahead to confirm your attendance. They do ladies nights, open bar night etc. Facebook page here.

Note: Two other areas recommended are 3th Circle and Rainbow street.

My Amman Experience

Amman was part of the Siege of the Levant. We were there two nights (Thurs & Friday), but left for the Sat because we thought Jerusalem would be more fun. I had a date on the Friday with a real cutie, but cut it short to explore the nightlife. I didn’t like the city overall, but would have liked to explore the nightlife scene a little more.

Why not check out more cheeky City Guides?

Snapshots are mini town/city guides for smaller places or cities I have only experienced briefly. Here’s a little snapshot of Jeruslaem.

What are one’s first impressions of Jerusalem?

Jewish quarter, old city.

The old city in East Jerusalem is one of the nicest places I’ve ever visited. Within its walls, markets burst with life and each quarter (Muslim, Jewish, Christian & Armenian) offers something unique. As a history buff, I was creaming my pants.

But while the setting in magical, a sinister undertone presides. The majority of residents of the old city are Palestinians, but heavily-armed Israeli solders stalk the streets. The occupation is very visible and it’s depressing. The weirdest thing about the city is seeing a “Israeli will prevail” t-shirt in one stall, then a “Free Palestine” tshirt in the next. It’s fucked up.

What are the women like?

I’ve met some gorgeous and sweet Palestinian girls, but they don’t really mix with the Jewish population in West Jerusalem where all the nightlife is. As such, you’ll be mainly meeting Jewish Israeli chicks. There is a good mix of Yemenite Jews (darker types) and Russian & Eastern European Jews (whites, blondes). But apparently most of the real hotties hang out in Tel Aviv.

With all the hype I’ve heard about Israeli girls, the ones in Jerusalem were very disappointing. They dress like men – worse than American women. I didn’t see one chick in a dress or high heels. Some of the girls of Russian-types were pretty cute, but in general the standard wasn’t as high as expected – not a patch on Beirut.

The worst thing were the attitudes. Israeli women are forced into the army for two years and many come out the other end as little monsters. The ones from Jerusalem (where the conflict is most intense) are the worst of them. I was only there for one Saturday night, and while some chicks we met were cool, the general impression I was left with one of a horde of masculine, aggressive, rude, opinionated, brainwashed, racist, bigoted bitches.

...at least they're forced in shape.

The next neo-Zionist cow I meet will be hate-fucked for her sins. I’ll make her gag on my uncircumcised cock, slap her and spit in her face – dressed like Hitler for full effect (Too much?  - Fuck it).

I’ll dominate her so bad she’ll want to cum harder than she ever has in her life – but I’ll stop pounding her the moment before she’s about to climax. Then I’ll cum on her face and then wipe my cock on her teddy bear.

Grrr.

Fortunately, not all Israeli girls are so zealous. I’m not writing them off just yet. I banged one in Montenegro who was sound, and a rock-star in bed. The girls in Tel Aviv are supposed to be 10x hotter and cooler, so I only when I visit the city will I cast my verdict with a proper report.

As it stands, I’d much prefer to sex a Palestinian girl (I don’t have that flag), but I reckon my best chances was running  refugee game in Lebanon. Sigh..

Where should I go at night-time?

In West Jerusalem they is good concentration of bars around the meeting of Yaffo street and Rivlin street. It’s the perfect place for a pub crawl. If I remember correctly (I was pretty drunk), the best bar I found for picking up was Sideways. We also also had some bites at Mike’s place.

The Bottom Line

Beautiful city, pity it’s full of neo-Zionist assholes.

DISCLAIMER: I respect the Jewish people, but not neo-Zionism. There’s is a massive difference… before you start labeling me a Nazi.

Overview

Said to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, Damascus (or sham as it’s know) doesn’t disappoint. The old town is one of most charming places I’ve ever visited, the locals are super friendly, and the atmosphere is great. This city was the highlight of my trip to the Levant. Highly recommended.

The Girls

Damascus born Rima Fakih

Personally, I found Syrian girls to be among the cutest in the region. In general, the standard is ever so slightly better than Lebanon and significantly better than Jordan. As an historical crossroads of the Middle East, there is a decent ethnic mix with 23 million, the cream of which crop up in the capital.

You can get dark and sultry to blonde with green eyes, although the latter is usually reserved for the Armenian population in the country.

Similar to Lebanon, Pear-shaped bodies are the norm-although you wouldn’t notice as Islamic dress is more common here. Hijabs are the norm (I find them so cute), but don’t be fooled. Syria is a conservative country by Western standards, but you can still party, drink on the street, and sex the locals. Most girls remain virgins until marriage, but things are changing.

English is spoken by many, but not all. Most educated girls can manage.

Day game and pipelining are by far your best options for Damascus. Old town is flooded with single ladies walking around. Night time is not great, as couples dominate the scene (that was the case mid-week to Thursday, but I hear it’s the same deal weekends). The best thing to do is to game the girls who have boyfriend’s anyway, and discreetly exchange info. Just be careful.

I heard Aleppo is better for chicks. It’s not easy by any means, but I ‘m convinced the flag can be had, just give yourself a little time.

Nightlife Recommendations

Damascus nightlife is very sedated, but more fun than Amman. Mid-week the city is pretty dead. Thursday to Saturday are the only nights to party. Unfortunately a lot of places are “couples only,” so it can be frustrating. Old town has the best concentration of nightspots, so I will focus here. Check out Bab Tooma  and Bab Shari streets for a start.

Please note: We were not there for the weekend.

Moustache Irish pub

It’s small, but slick. The beer is cheap, the staff are super friendly and the crowd is cool. It isn’t exactly a pick up place, but it was easily my favourite bar in the old city.

Zodiac

On Bab Shira. There was s serious party in this disco bar on the Thursday we were there. Good tunes and lots of chicas. Only problem – it was all couples. That said, it was a lot of fun.

Another place to check out apparently is Jet-set and Marmar.

My Damascus Experience

Damascus was part of the Siege of the Levant. We went during late Jan. Over 100 were killed in the country while we were there. Read my first post from the country here.

All in all I loved the city. I only wish I had been able to stay for weekend. The two dudes I was with felt the same way. We’d all go back to Syria in a shot (no pun intended). Let’s hope the situation resolves itself.

Overview

“The Party Capital of the Middle East” is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, Beirut is liberal and there’s plenty of places to drink and have fun – but it’s not exactly Ibiza. Some parts of the city feel like Paris, while others fell like Warsaw. I hear in the summer though it’s mental.

The Girls

Haifa Wehbe

Lebanese girls can be pretty sexy. They have that dark, sultry look, but their skin is generally lighter than those in other Arab countries.

I heard alot of hype about girls in Beirut, but in all honestly, I was a little underwhelmed. The standard is generally pretty decent- they keep themselves in shape and have natural good looks – but finding a 8 or a 9 is not easy.

One thing I did like about Leb girls is they have small waists but great booties… yummy. Pear shaped bodies are very common.

Nearly all Lebanese girls have excellent English. The chicks you meet Beirut are very liberal – many drink and smoke. They have similar sexually attitudes to those in Eastern Europe, but they are slightly more conservative. They remind me of Cypriot girls. They make out pretty quick, but one night stands are not the norm. Everyone knows everyone in the Beirut party scene. That said, Beirut is probably the best place to get your Arab flag. Provided she’s  not a virgin, you have a good shot on a discreet day 2 meet-up.

For day game, the malls are excellent. For the highest quality chicks, try some street game around the classy shops near Nijimeh square or Foch street.

At night, you can also find a few sexy Palestinians, Syrians & Jordanians.

Nightlife Recommendations

Mid-week Beirut can be a little quiet, but you can still find a pulse. The main nightlife areas are Gemmayzeh Street, Monot Street and Hamra. The venues  in Gammayzeh are more resto bar type places – really tiny and pretentious. Monot street (the club street) is even more pretentious and a complete rip-off. Hamra (the university area) is by far the best place to be in my opinion. It’s cheaper, the only place busy every night, and there’s more single women around. As such these venues are all in Hamra.

The strip

The Strip

This is the perfect place for a debauched pub crawl – about half a dozen bars crammed in a little laneway (the area doesn’t have a name, just ask for Danny’s). My favourite places were Danny’s, B108 and especially Kennedy’s. Just go to whatever bar has the most atmosphere. Later, check around the corner for a place called  Speak Easy. It’s small, but it always seemed to have quite a few single ladies about. I had the pleasure of having sex in the bathroom here – both the gents and the ladies room.

Getting High

Nomad’s input: We met alot of people who smoke and got high, but it’s still a little hard to get your hands on. Just ask any body in the bar’s in Hamra.

Where to buy marijuana in Beirut: You can’t buy marijuana on the streets that’s for sure, but do not hesitate to ask anyone(!) In a club to hook you up with a smoke. Everyone does it here but yet a taboo.

Beirut marijuana prices: 10g = 50,000 = usd 34$ (good quality hash) usually you’ll be able tell by its smell and color.

1 ounce (28grams)= 300,000 = usd 200$ (outdoor weed) or if you’re lucky enough you’ll find some good indoor whitewidow, although only a couple of people grow it in Lebanon.

My Beirut Experience

Beirut was part of the Siege of the Levant. We went during exams in Jan – the worst time of year to go.  There was screw all girls around. Saying that, I was here for a week and had a great time. I spent most of it with a beautiful Lebanon girlfriend who showed me and my friends a deadly time. I also kissed a few cheeky chicas in Kennedy’s and Speakeasy. I found it easy enough to attract. I’d love to go back in the summer.

I’ve gotten a lot of interest about my latest Siege, considering I’ve been pretty much off the radar the last fortnight.  So I’ll debrief you guys…

Me looking over Petra

 Where were you?

The Levant

The Levant: an area that, historically, roughly corresponds to greater Syria. In the modern day, it encompasses:

• Lebanon
• Syria
• Jordan
• Palestine
• Israel

Who were the crew?

My Cheeky Crew

At one stage we were four strong. I was joined by:

• Gary the fish from the Siege of West Africa & The Adriatic.
• Glen the Gecko from the Siege of Malta.
• Desperate Dan from the Siege of the Adriatic.

Check out the pic to the right. They were a blast.

What were the Highlights?

Syria: Walking around old town Damascus as  Mexican pirates – getting got up in pro-Assad demonstrations in the meantime. It was fucked up.

Is that chick naked?

Lebanon: New flag. I met a beautiful, sexy Arabic girl – who subsequently fulfilled my ultimate fantasy by dressing up as a belly dancer and giving me an unforgettable erotic performance before mounting me. Best. Lover. Ever.

Jordan:  Highlight was defo dressing up in traditional costume, renting a horse and racing Dan across the mountainous plateaus above Petra. My horse was going so fast we nearly rode of a cliff. What a rush.

Jerusalem: Exploring Old Town. Getting my history on.

Any low lights?

Amman nightlife was brutal. Although I did take a cutie out on a date my last night, the scene was so sedated we decided to skip across the border to Jerusalem for our last night.

That was followed by my second  low light – witnessing Israeli occupation and settlement building in the West Bank – and dealing with Zionist bigotry in the process. It was depressing. A dark history does not justify apartheid. I hope the 1967 borders are honoured some day. But anyway…

So what now?

.

I’m up to 77 countries (including Palestine), meaning my goal towards global conquest is now 39% complete.

Nice.

This week I start my second semester for my masters, so I’m stuck at home for a good while. Although I might be popping over the Amsterdam later this month…

I got a few city guides for guys to look forward to a few stories and cailíns in the pipeline.

Until the next Siege…

Avast!

Hey amigos,
Sorry I haven’t posted in the last week. The internet over here is brutal.

Sorry what has the Nomad been up to???

Me in Umayyad Mosque, yesterday.

Well you know I love dodgy places so I’m in Damascus, Syria with two other crewmembers – Gary the fish and Glen the Gecko.

This place is AWESOME!!!

Ok the nightlife is kinda shit, and they’re are dozens of people supposedly getting killed everyday…. but the beer is cheap, the girls are cute and we have beautiful old town all to ourselves. It’s amazing…. the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world apparently.

The locals here love Mexican Pirates. Even cars stop in the middle of the road and call out,

“Welcome to Syria!”

More interestingly, every single person we spoke to actually support President Assad – and these were very educated, travelled people. We were even present for pro-government demonstrations (and got them on camera).

I’m not sticking up for the regime, I’m just giving you the reality of popular opinion on the streets of Damascus.  There is obvious bias of the foreign media. You really don’t know what’s going on in a country until you actually go there.

That said, reports from outside the country say over 100 were killed here in the last two days. I woke to the drone of helicopters… it feels like a fucking war zone.

Anyway, aside for that, let me tell you about own little uprising. In case you wondering – yes, don’t worry, I’ve still found time to be a little naughty as usual. I’ve slain my first Arab and got my Lebanese flag in the process!!! She fell for my pirate charm.. ARGHHH! Not only that, but she may be the most beautiful women I’ve ever been with (but I’m bias towards the Arabic look).

Ah… the Siege of the Levant is going well..

Sex, War and Piracy… a favourite Naughty Nomad cocktail.

Last Saturday night I went out on the piss for a friend’s birthday.

We ended up in a bar in Dublin. Closing time came and people were being asked to leave. I went to the bathroom, and when I emerged two asshole bouncers grabbed me.

“Relax.. What’s your problem?” I protested.

The Slavic dicks offered no explanation and showed me the door.

“Fuck off!” they told me, slamming the door in my face. They didn’t even afford me the time to grab my jacket.

I felt disrespected, emasculated and frankly… a little chilly.

My frustration turned to anger.

I started smacking hard on the window, demanding my jacket, but to no avail. I wanted to maim those pricks.

Red-blooded and in a drunken stupor, I picked up bottle and smashed the window into a million pieces.

Needless to say, it wasn’t the smartest move.

Within a minute I was apprehended and arrested.

The gardaí (police) hauled my into the station,  took all my belongings and read me my rights…

Fuck sake.

In fairness, the police were really cool about it. It looks like I won’t face charges pending I pay for damages. Unfortunately, a custom-made branded window and associated costs and going to cost me a small fortune – hampering my mid-term travel plans.

Anyway, enough doom and gloom…

The good news is I still flying off the Middle East in three days!

Let’s hope I can do some damage over there too..

Of course this list will be a little subjective but I think all guys can relate.

Girls, listen up. Here are 10 reasons why you can’t pull decent guy.

1. You’re Fat

Yikes

When you step on the scales it reads “Fuck you!” Guys won’t pick you up if  they can’t actually pick you up. Go easy on the pizza. Allah hates fatties.

A decent booty can be sexy, but cankles certainly aren’t.

Personally I like my women under 50 kilos.

Solution?

Hit the gym. Try eating a salad once and awhile. Move to Mauritania.

2. You Can’t Cook

A chick who can’t cook is like a guy who can’t fuck.

I don’t care if you’re a beauty queen and have a masters – if you can’t cook you’re a FAILURE as a women on a primal level.

I don’t want my kids eating processed muck.

Learn how to make a good home cooked meal.

Solution?

Youtube.

3. You have too much body hair

Ahh!

You’re a yeti. You’re vagina looks like Cousin It.

Women shouldn’t have significant body hair below their neck. This goes without saying. A well groomed landing strip is fine, but otherwise nada. Keep your muff in check. Sandpaper thighs, under arm and wild bush are never sexy.

Solution?

Wax. Laser. Shave .

4. You turn off the lights during sex

Most guys don’t mind if  you’re a little shy or introverted, but when you’re so insecure about your body that you fear light – you have a problem. Men are visual creatures. Confidence is a turn on, even if you don’t rock a model’s body.

Last year in Seoul, one night I went home with a chick from Newfoundland who insisted the lights be turned off. I remember thinking: What was she hiding? Back acne? A cluster of hemroids around her anus? Between that, a few pints, a condom, and no visible stimulation, I could barely keep a hard on.

The next night I went home with an American girl. She had a face like Jessica Alba, but was plump as hell.  That said, she DID keep the lights on and she was super-confident in the sack. Her confidence, above all else, was a massive turn on.

Solution?

Confidence counts. Compromise with candles.

5. You’re a Feminist

You walk like a man.

Traditional feminism promoted suffrage and equal pay. Nobody is  complaining. But equality in terms of behaviour is not cool. A lot of women in the West have spent so much time trying to emulate men, they have lost a lot of made them special in the first place. Ironically, modern feminists are the least feminine breed on the planet. Men like women to be women, not men.

Solution?

Grow your hair long, wear a dress and get in some high heels. If you want to get laid, keep your mouth shut.

6. You’re a slut

If you don’t value you sexuality, men won’t either. No guy wants a girl who passed around like a can of Pringles. I personally wouldn’t consider a serious relationship with any girl who’s had more than 10 cocks inside her. The average women on the planet will have two sexual partners in a life-time – factoring in China, India and the like. Am I promoting double standards for men and women? Yes, because we’re different. Men of value (who are pre-selected) want women of value (sexual integrity). It’s simple sociology. You can complain it’s not fair, but we simply don’t give a shit.

Solution?

Lie. If you like the guy, make him work for it and he’ll value you more.

7. You have no real friends

Women’s friendships are usually weaker than men’s. If you’re the type who ditch’s your mates as soon as you start dating a guy, you’re a sap. Men like women who have friends. They take you out, and give us free time to bang other women play. This makes us happy as we fulfil our genetic imperative. When we’re happy in the relationship we keep fucking you, and you get your regular dose of Alpha dick – your genetic imperative. But aside from my unconventional paradigm, it’s good to have friends in your life – for balance.

Solution?

Make time for your girls.

8. You have no interests

You’re boring. I’ve met rocks that were more entertaining.

The amount of women I meet that have zero interests is depressing. Fashion mags, reality shows and and youtube are NOT legitimate hobbies. Read a fucking book. Take a interest in anything.  Have one thing you’re passionate about. Men only tolerate boring women long enough to deposit their seed – then they move on.

Solution?

Get a life.

9. You Smell

.

You have bad breath. You fart occasionally. When you take a dump, we want to dump you. Men should never smell a women’s shit. It’s poison for sexual attraction. And bad breath can make the hottest woman in the world unkissable. Men don’t want to be reminded you are human.

Solution?

Always carry gum.

If you really need fart or take a shit, drive half an hour to the nearest restroom. We don’t want to know about it.

10. You’re a Serial Queefer

.

Sex with you is like making love to a whoopee cushion.

I once went to bed with a girl in Moldova. Although sexy, when I went down on her, her pussy started spitting back at me. I’d have let a few blips slide (it happens everyone), but while having sex, every thrust felt like I was plunging a toilet. It was just too much.

To make matters worse, she kept coughing to try and cover it up. Trying to bust a nut with some chick spluttering & queefing is futile.

Solution?

Marry a deaf bloke.

Oh… and

11. Bad Posture… stand up straight ladies!

12. An Aversion to head… you will never sexually satisfy your man.

Guys, feel free to comment and add your biggest turn-offs…

I have 10-14 days free for my next mid-term, depending. What do you guys think…

RANDOM FACT: The bungee that snapped yesterday in Africa – that was the same place I did my first jump!
