Jordan

Jordan occupies a compact stretch of the Middle East between the Jordan River and the eastern desert, where rose-red sandstone canyons give way to flat, sun-bleached plains. The call to prayer marks the rhythm of daily life, mint tea is poured generously, and the air in the highlands carries the faint scent of wild thyme.
