Petra, rose-red deserts and legendary hospitality
Jordan packs wonders into every square mile: the rose-red city of Petra carved into rock, the red dunes of Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea where you float effortlessly and generous cooking at the heart of the Middle East. For a Cameroonian it is a safe, accessible destination that is surprisingly easy on the visa side, with a visa on arrival or an eVisa option. Bedouin hospitality is sincere and warm. In a week you string together ancient sites, desert adventure and relaxation by the salty water.
