Jordan

The Middle East’s iconic sights lie in Jordan’s desert landscapes. Petra appears before visitors like a miracle, the sandstone facades at once recognisable and more utterly exotic than one can imagine. Further south, Wadi Rum is a romantic, rugged land of red earth and stunning outcrops, the perfect place for remote exploration and a desert camp. Elsewhere, Jordan offers the full fix, whatever you’re after: a buzzing souk here, a crusader castle there. Dana Nature Reserve, meanwhile, mixes lush tropical vegetation with sparse desert shrubs, an extraordinarily varied landscape within a small area – a little like Jordan itself.
