Exploring Jordan: Desert Adventures and Cultural Insights

Jordan overview

I cling tenaciously to the door, but the dunes and uneven terrain make the road bumpy, and Mehedi doesn't take his foot off the accelerator. There is orange sand in the air – I can feel grains of it in my eyes, on my face and under my clothes.

Important details from the source

• I landed in Amman, the capital of Jordan, at the beginning of November.
• That day, torrential rain had caused flooding across the country.
• The accommodation I had booked was lost and I could not get my money back.
• As I waited in the office of the company that runs trips to the south of the country, I cursed my overzealous planning.
• An employee of the JETT bus company assured me that I could change my bus ticket to another day free of charge.
• Public transport in Jordan is not well developed.
• Buses, even on the main routes, often only run once a day.
• And they usually leave early in the morning, making efficient transfers impossible.
• The direct route from Amman to Wadi Rum takes about four hours by car.
• However if, like me, you don’t drive and don’t want to join tour groups, it takes more than 24 hours to get there.
