More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive in Amman as the city hums under a pale desert sun, then slip into the quiet of the King’s Highway where sandstone cliffs and olive groves alternate with wide desert plains. By day two you’re tracing colonnaded streets in Jerash where Roman columns lean into blue sky; by midweek the Siq opens and Petra’s rose-red façade suddenly appears, carved from living rock.
