Jordan

Jordan switches fast between empty stone desert and green strips along the water. In Amman, white limestone stacks into terraces and stairs. In the south, Wadi Rum opens into wide sandstone walls and silence. Petra changes colour with the sun, and the Dead Sea lies lower than anything around it.

Mornings smell of bread and cardamom; evenings put gold light on dust and stone. Steps vanish in the sand and echo off the rock. Jordan slows your head down.
