Jordan wasn’t the first Muslim country I visited, but it was the first one I lived in. And the first desert I ever called home.

It’s where I learned to really listen. To pause and observe. To sit with a culture that was new to me and not just admire it from the outside, but understand it from within. I came away with a deeper respect for different ways of life—and a renewed gratitude for the freedom I’ve known back home.

I slept under the stars in Wadi Rum, walked camels through the desert heat, and shared meals cooked right on the sand. I wandered through the rose-red city of Petra, floated in the Dead Sea, and watched the sunset paint the canyons gold.

These guides will walk you through the Jordan that changed me—one ancient ruin, desert hike, and heartfelt encounter at a time.
