$100 Taxi Ride: (Ep5) - Amman/Prague

Series 1, episode 0

In this episode Rabea, our driver in Amman, takes us on a trip to the southern desert. A quick pit stop in the souk (market) for essential supplies sets us up for the journey. Equally at home behind the wheel of his taxi in Amman and behind a barbecue in the desert, Rabea takes us to where Moses got his first view of the Promised Land and introduces us to some real Bedouin hospitality. Next we're off to Prague, capital of the new Czech Republic, former capital of Czechoslovakia and home to the sexiest sounding coup in history-the Velvet Revolution. It's also very Bohemian-which shouldn't be a surprise, as it is smack in the middle of a region called Bohemia. On a trip to the heart of the Czech Republic Eugen our driver shows us an observation tower where the Communist authorities didn't want anyone to look out, a Jewish cemetery used for 500 years until closed by the Nazis, and a chapel where human bones provide a very strange line in interior decoration!
