We sampled the diverse cuisine of Jordan, including Mensaf, the national dish, which is somewhat similar to our blanquette, but made with mutton. While camping in Wadi Rum, meals were prepared by a cook. Lunch was a picnic of salads in Wadi Rum and Petra, or a meal at a guesthouse. Dinners and breakfasts were taken at hotels or prepared communally by a cook at campsites.
You can find mineral water everywhere in Jordan, except in the Wadi Rum desert, where we provide you with tap water, which you treat with purifying tablets, such as Micropur, Hydroclonazone or Aquatabs.
Alcohol is readily available in Jordan; Jordanians produce and consume it (wine, beer, arak: an anise-flavored spirit similar to pastis), but local prices for imported alcohol can be exorbitant. Remember that you can purchase duty-free goods at your departure airport. Even though you are traveling in a Muslim country with strong traditions, the staff assisting you are familiar with your customs and won't be offended by an aperitif served in the evening. Simply be respectful of their religion and drink in moderation.
