Jamaica travel guide: Mammee Bay

If you are visiting Jamaica, you can include Mammee Bay in your itinerary. Located in Ocho Rios, Mammee Bay is a pretty, palm-fringed fairly secluded beach ideal for those who prefer a vacation away from the crowds. And if you ever need to be part of something more vibrant, Ocho Rios is just a step away.

Accommodation

There are various Jamaica villas, cottages and apartments located near Ocho Rios that you can book for the duration of your stay. These Jamaica villas are located amidst spectacular natural settings and give you the ideal opportunity to sample the warm hospitality and Caribbean living in true island style. Ideal for those who wish to stay away from the crowds, these Jamaica accommodation rentals come furnished with all amenities ranging from the comfortable to the luxurious. The Jamaica villas are either beachfront or just a short walk away from the beach and range from one bedroom to seven bedrooms.

There are various things to do and see around Mammee Bay.

Dunn's River Falls: This 600ft/180m cascade is one of Jamaica's most photographed natural attractions. The water cascades over the rock terraces over to the sea and a beautiful beach. You can join a chain of people climbing up the stepping stones and stand under a stimulating shower. So this is a rare waterfall which you can actually climb.

Dolphin Cove: Located near the Dunn's River Falls, this marine park is perfect for a family picnic. Here apart from the numerous water activities, you can also swim with the dolphins.

Fishing and boating: The beach at Island Village is perfect for soaking up the sun and lazing away the hours. If you are looking for something more adventurous, the beach also offers a full range of activities.

Prospect Plantation: You can explore the historic plantation on horseback or hike the numerous scenic trails that pass through it.

Green Grotto Caves: Explore these historic caves with a crystal-clear lake at the bottom located between Discovery and Runaway Bays. The first Jamaicans, the Arawak Indians are believed to have found shelter here, a fact that is backed by the multiple fragments of pottery and adzes that have been unearthed from time to time.

I found a Very Old sign at a garage sale written in Arabic. What does it say?

I was given this sign by the daughter of a archaeologist along with a slew of other items such as sand roses and very old pottery. Her mom had recently passed away and when she found out I was a teacher, she gave me a huge amount of her mom's finds from Saudi Arabia. I have no idea what it means or what or where it was used. It may or may not have been dug up. Can anyone help? The photo is here

I hate to disappoint you.. but it's actually a car plate..

Like "Zero" said, الظهران is a name of a place ( a city in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia)
The word, خصوصي ( private) and the numbers refer to the licence..
Put this type of plates isn't used anymore.
