Jordan

Rose-red cities, red-sand deserts and a sea you can't sink in

What it's famous for

A whole city carved into rose-red cliffs — walk the Siq at dawn and the Treasury appears like a mirage.

Mars-red dunes, towering sandstone and Bedouin camps where dinner is cooked under the sand.

The lowest point on Earth, where the water is so salty you float reading a book — mud spa included.

Roman Jerash rivals anything in Italy, and lonely desert castles dot the eastern sands.

The lost Nabataean city — go at dawn, stay past the tour buses.

White-stone hills, a Roman theatre and one of the region's best food scenes.

Sleep in a desert camp under a sky thick with stars.

Red Sea reefs and warm winter swims at Jordan's only coast.
