If you were to take us on a tour of Jordan, what would the itinerary look like?
We’d start the day with a traditional Jordanian breakfast at Hashem Restaurant in Amman, known for its delicious falafel, hummus and foul. Then, on to the ancient city of Petra to spend the morning exploring the Siq and marvelling at the breathtaking Treasury (Al Khazneh) – an elaborate tomb carved out of the rock face. For lunch, it’s Al Qantarah in Wadi Musa to savour local mezze while taking in the spectacular views of Petra. The afternoon would be spent visiting the Dead Sea to experience the unique sensation of floating in its mineral-rich waters and indulging in a restoring natural mud bath. Then it’s back to Amman for dinner at the delightful Beit Sitti, where guests can cook their own homemade Jordanian dinner in the owner’s grandmother’s home, where every dish tells a story of tradition. This is a true culinary journey through Jordanian heritage, not to be missed. To finish the day, a leisurely stroll along Rainbow Street in Amman to explore its vibrant shops, cafés and lively atmosphere brings the tour to a joyous end.

What is your go-to vacation outfit?
I always choose loose-fitting linen trousers with a stylish blouse. This is my ultimate go-to for staying comfortable in the heat while looking put together. And of course, I always accessorise with my own jewellery! 

What does your long-haul in-flight health and skincare regimen consist of?
I always ensure that I drink plenty of water to keep hydrated. I like to cleanse my face and apply a mask during the flight, followed by a nourishing face oil, moisturiser and lip and eye cream. I’m a fan of Amina’s Natural Skin Care Aloe Vera Face & Body Cream. 

And finally, what’s your mantra when it comes to travelling and exploring?
Travel with an open heart and an open mind. Embrace new experiences, cultures and perspectives, and allow each journey to enrich your life in unexpected ways.
