You step out of the vehicle and the air feels different — mineral-sour at the Dead Sea, dry and warm in Wadi Rum, then cool and stony in Petra’s narrow gorge. On this three-day loop from Amman you’ll float where the earth dips lowest, walk into a carved rose-red city, and rattle across desert plains in a 4x4 as the wind sculpts rock like a slow hand.
