Petra & Wadi Rum: Lost City and Desert Nights in Jordan

Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury appear never gets old, and Petra is far bigger than that one facade — give it two days and you'll barely scratch it. This guide takes you the back-route hike to the Treasury from above (no crowds, the view of your life), into Wadi Rum for a jeep day and a night in a Bedouin camp under impossible stars, and finishes floating in the Dead Sea. I've got the Jordan Pass tip that pays for itself, the Petra-by-night verdict, and how to handle the heat.
