You step out of Queen Alia International into warm Jordanian air and a driver holds a sign with your name — the sort of small, efficient courtesy that sets the tempo for the next nine days. From Amman’s limestone-clad terraces the road unfurls north toward olive-scented hills, east into salt-baked basins, and south through a slow cinematic sweep of desert that ends at the rose-red cliffs of Petra.
