Dust from the Kings' Highway lifts as the minivan threads between limestone ridges and ochre dunes, and the first morning in Amman feels tangible—callused mosaic stones underfoot, city traffic humming, and the air carrying incense and cardamom. Over six days the route moves from Roman theaters and Byzantine mosaics to Nabatean rock-carved facades, then out across Wadi Rum’s silent sandstone to the buoyant surface of the Dead Sea.
