Dawn breaks over Amman’s limestone hills and your driver steers the private vehicle north as the city slips behind you. By mid-morning the stone colonnades of Jerash rise from the dust—columns and plazas that still hold the rhythm of Roman processions—then the road climbs toward the green folds of Ajloun and the wind-scoured ridges of Mount Nebo where the valley and the Dead Sea lie like a folded map below.
