Jordan

A photographic journey through Jordan, from Wadi Rum and Petra along King's Highway to Amman and the Dead Sea.

Six days on the road through Jordan: a desert night in Wadi Rum, the rock city of Petra illuminated by candles, views across Dana Reserve, the Crusader castle at Karak, busy Amman and sunset over the Dead Sea.

The gallery follows the journey chronologically from the south of the country towards the north.
