More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive before the sun climbs fully over the western escarpment and the air tastes faintly of minerals and dust. The short drive from Amman trades city blocks for scrubbed hills; steam rises where warm water meets cooler air and small cascades chatter against stone. Time slows in the pools — water that has passed through deep faults and brings with it a warm, saline hush.
