You step out of Queen Alia Airport into Amman's dry breeze and the city unfolds in warm stone and spiraling hills—this is where a ten-day sweep through Jordan begins. Each morning brings a different terrain: the colonnaded streets of Jerash, the green rise of Ajloun Castle, the mosaic-mapped lanes of Madaba, and the hush of the Dead Sea basin that sits over 1,300 feet below sea level.
