Jordan is a conservative Islamic country — covered shoulders and legs throughout all public areas. A PP linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers for men; a PP women's linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers for women. Warm earth tones — Oatmeal, warm natural — connect to the rose-red sandstone of Petra and the ochre of Wadi Rum at the most specific visual level.

For Petra. The Siq entrance and the Treasury reveal — the most dramatic archaeological reveal in the world. A PP linen shirt in Oatmeal or warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The walk is 8–10 kilometres on uneven stone; the long-sleeve PP linen shirt provides UV protection throughout.

For Wadi Rum. The vast desert valley of rose-red sandstone — the Bedouin camp, the 4WD excursion, the sunset above the dunes. Earth-tone PP linen for the Wadi Rum camp — the ochre and rose-red landscape rewards Oatmeal and warm natural above all other colourways.

For the Dead Sea. The Kempinski Hotel Ishtar. White PP linen for the hotel pool and the mineral float; navy for the hotel restaurant evening.

For Aqaba on the Red Sea. White PP linen with linen shorts and leather sandals for the Aqaba waterfront; natural swim shorts for the Red Sea.
