Ticket To Ride Episode 122: The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Once the capital of the Arab Nabataeans and a thriving trading center in prehistoric times, the rediscovered city of Petra is carved into sandstone cliffs within a palette of red and pink gorges. On this week’s show, travel writer David Hogan Jr takes us through this ancient red-rose city, the shores of the Dead Sea, and the natural splendors of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
