7 Essential Jordanian Foods to Eat While in Jordan - AFAR

"One of the most fascinating experiences you can have in Jordan’s Mars-like desert of Wadi Rum is staying at a traditional Bedouin desert camp. Here, you will most certainly be able to see the preparation of zarb, Bedouin barbecue, roasted for hours in an underground pit. Not much has changed in the traditional process: Foil-wrapped meat like chicken, lamb, or goat is placed in a round metal casing with coals, alongside spices and vegetables like potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, and onions, then lowered into a pit in the sand, covered with blankets and sand, and left to cook for two to three hours until fragrant bits of meat start to fall off the bones." - Yulia Denisyuk
