You step out of Queen Alia International into an air that holds a dry warmth and a quiet confidence — a driver holds a sign with your name, and the city of Amman slides into view: cream-colored houses stacked on seven hills, traffic easing into the desert. Over the next seven days the landscape refuses to stay still. One morning the Dead Sea dares you to float like a forgotten paperweight; the next, a narrow gorge the Nabataeans carved throws you toward the rose-gold façade of Petra.
