#AffectiveTourism author’s pick to help packing for Jordan travels:
Desert essentials: our definitive Jordan packing guide
Essentials
Wide-brimmed hat: you may look like a dork, but it’s better than frying your head under the desert sun.
Sunglasses and sunscreen: for obvious reasons.
Lightweight linen pants: for the sake of religious modesty, short shorts are a no no. Pack a light, breathable pair of pants instead (white is good for reflecting the heat).
A lightweight jumper/sweater: the nights in Wadi Rum can get pretty cold. Pack a couple of lightweight layering options.
Non-leather shoes: the desert air and sand will destroy most leather after a while. Consider something more lightweight, open-toed and breathable.
T-shirts: t-shirts are acceptable, tank or halter tops not so much. The longer the sleeves the better.
