If you really want to get to know a country, lace up your walking boots and hit its trails. Immerse yourself in the landscape and local lifestyle, take stock and relish in the fact you’re seeing more than you ever could from a car window. And while you might think of the Alps or the Andes when you think of epic hiking holidays, Jordan is by far one of the world’s most underrated hiking spots. From dream-like deserts and colossal canyons to wildflower-filled woodlands, the best hikes in Jordan take in some of the country’s most legendary landscapes.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely you already know what a 'wadi' is, but for those in the dark, it roughly translates from Arabic as ‘valley’. While planning your Jordanian holiday, you’re probably also already aware that the country is 75% desert, but that fact blew our minds so much, we just had to write it down. It’s safe to say Jordan is ripe with bucket-list worthy must-sees – from the archaeological ruins of Petra to the awe-inspiring draw of the Dead Sea.

It is the 50th Anniversary of the epic classic Lawrence of Arabia. I remember first watching it and it was quite a defining moment; the desert, the stars, the epic horse and camel battles. It was also thanks to Lawrence that I was initially persuaded to visit Jordan. Lawrence or Faisel...? I couldn't decide who I fancied more - Lawrence or Faisel... Or rather Peter O'Toole or Omar Sheriff. In the end I went for Omar - resonate with that intoxicating aura of Middle Eastern mystery and manliness.

Veronique Durruty's Travel Story I travel alone, or with my little girl (who is no longer little) and accompanies me less often. Unusually, all three of us, my mother, my daughter, and I visited Jordan together. Three women, three generations, three types of expectations. We rented a car, my mum was driving. Fascinated by the beauty of the place, I wasn't paying attention to the road, I was a poor co-pilot.
