Jordan by car.

Get lost in the streets of Madaba with its mosaic workshops: Madaba is the city of mosaics, and you will come across plenty of craft workshops right in the center. The local artists are happy to let you look over their shoulders to see how they still assemble these stone pictures by hand today. It's a great place to buy souvenirs.

Have dinner at Ayola Cafe: A renowned local restaurant just a short walk from St. George's Church. They make phenomenal hummus, fresh bread, falafel, and great Arabic coffee for just a few coins. You'll meet both tourists and locals here.

Jordan Survival Tips from WandersKaty:

• Speed bumps of doom:There are massive speed bumps on the highways (even on the main Desert Highway). They are rarely marked or painted. If you are driving at 100 km/h at night and miss one, you'll leave the axle of your rental car on the road at best. The driver must keep their eyes peeled at all times. Also, watch out for dogs. They are everywhere and love running across the roads.
• Police checkpoints: You will encounter them frequently on the roads. The soldiers with submachine guns look tough, but as soon as they see you are tourists, they smile, say "Welcome to Jordan!" and wave you through. Just make sure to have your passports and an international driving permit with you (though nobody actually asked to see the permit).
• Covered shoulders and knees: Jordan is a Muslim country, but they are used to tourists. In Petra or Wadi Rum, you can easily walk around in shorts and a performance T-shirt. However, once you are in cities like Amman or Madaba, it is respectful to keep your shoulders and knees covered (lightweight linen pants and a scarf over your shoulders are ideal).
• Freezing desert nights: In the Wadi Rum desert, it's warm enough for a T-shirt during the day, but as soon as the sun sets, the temperature plummets to near freezing. While the Bedouin tents come with plenty of blankets, thermal underwear, warm socks, and a jacket are absolute essentials for sitting around the campfire in the evening.
• Sand gets everywhere: Forget about expensive sneakers or open-toed shoes. For both the desert and Petra, you need closed outdoor shoes.
• Get an eSIM in advance: Don't rely on expensive roaming. Download an app like Airalo while you're still at home and buy a Jordanian eSIM (a mobile data card). It costs just a few dollars, and your internet will kick in the second the plane touches the runway in Amman. You won't get anywhere in Jordan without data for Google Maps.
