Jordan.
Towns and cities are an absolute no no, The Police will NOT permit tents at sensitive points, looks far to political and gives reminders of Tahrir square in Egypt. Why would you want to as well?
However, this is the home of the Bedouin and they camp all over the country.
We wild camp in the desert with no problems, keep low key and stay out of sight.
It is quite likely that you will be checked out by the locals. It may look like wilderness but ALL the desert is owned by one tribe or another and if approached be very polite, keep smiling and leave the next day.
People wild camp when backpacking across the wadi's as well.
Water is very precious here and all dams etc are fenced off and camping any where near them is not allowed.
You cannot camp in any of the national reserves except at designated camp sites.
I have seen some people wild camping at the dead sea shore, but I would suggest moving well away from the North End to as remote a spot as you can find, if not you will be constantly pestered by quite aggressive sellers.
