Coach journey

(Short visits)

Difficulty: Easy 

Meals: Breakfast

Camp: Rummana camp site (or similar)


Today's walk descends from the Mediterranean climate(1200 m) above the sea level to 100 m above sea level.  Throughout this 16K walk, you will hike in a natural open flora museum. Wadi Dana is the most important geological aspect in the Dana nature reserve. Its great canyon joins the rift valley through the Feynan desert (mentioned in the Bible as Fyenan). This nature dates back for thousands of years as Feynan is the oldest sight for copper mining (4600 BC). It’s a very colorful day where you come across Bedouin families who still practice this mystical lifestyle and where you can see their scattered goat herds. Evening activity: a Bedouin man tells the story of life by the camp fire with a flute playing in the background.

 

Distance: 17 KM

Difficulty: Medium

Meals: Full board

Camp: Wild camp (in Bedouins neighborhood) 


Into the foot of the mountains, today’s route will ascend steeply across rocks and small boulders through a twisty track, going high into the mountain. This section is challenging. We are rewarded with stunning views west into Wadi Araba. We will continue up over a high saddle, before descending to the river valley of Wadi Al-Forn following the goat track.  

Evening activity: Bedouin coffee lesson on wood fire prepared and served by the Bedouins.

Distance: 15 KM

Difficulty: Moderate

Meals: Full board

Camp: Wild camp


Today's walk is descending throughout the masterpiece of nature’s creation, crossing the colourful sand dunes reaching little Petra where we're going to stay the night in a fixed campsite where flushing toilets and showers are provided.

*Lunch will be served along the trek. (Upside-down 'hot dish- Magloubah).

 

Distance: 18KM

Difficulty: Medium

Meals: Full board

Camp: Fixed camp (sharing facilities)


One of the most awe-inspiring sections of a trek across Jordan, this route was recently mentioned by National Geographic as one of the world's best fifteen hikes. The trail descends from the heights of the mountain plateaus to the Araba Valley and climbs back again, crossing several climate zones, diverse ecosystems hidden canyons, and dramatic labyrinths of hills and valleys displaying the full spectrum of the region’s geology. The scenery spans from majestic and epic mountaintops to peaceful, idyllic countryside where new landscapes appear along the way. If the natural attractions aren’t enough, the route ends with the Nabatean masterpiece, Petra. 

The city in the rocks holds days' worth of exploration by itself, and the short route the Jordan Trail takes through it is meant only to display a few of its highlights and to provide a base for further exploring, not to fully capture its depth. Few other long-distance trails can boast stages as consistently spectacular as this or end in a place as worthy of a visit as Petra.

 

Distance: 16KM

Difficulty: Moderate 

Meals: Breakfast and lunch

Accommodation: Petra palace hotel (or similar)

 Tips for sustainable travel on this trip

 

  • Leave no trace: We do all we can to ensure we leave no litters behind in the wild and beautiful places we visit. If there are no recycling facilities in-country, we’d ask you to consider bringing recyclable materials home with you.
  • Plastic waste reduction: Please bring your own re-usable water bottle on this trip; filtered water will be provided where tap water is not drinkable.
  •  
  • Cultural respect:
    • Some Jordanians especially women and the elderly object to being photographed so please ask first.
    • Jordanians are very proud of their country and can be offended if you take pictures of anything ‘negative’ or suggestive of poverty. Photography in military zones and strategic areas like public buildings is prohibited.
    • Handshaking is only between members of the same sex.
    • It's polite to use only your right hand when eating something without cutlery and when handing money and small objects to someone else.
    • It is common practice to remove one’s shoes before entering a mosque or someone’s home and you should tuck them under if sitting on the floor. It is respectful for women to cover their heads with a scarf when entering a mosque. Please note many mosques are not open for tourist visits.
    • Generally men’s and women’s clothing should cover shoulders and be on or below the knee.
    • During the holy month of Ramadan Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, and smoking during daylight hours. Even chewing gum is considered haram. (forbidden). Although foreigners are not expected to follow these practices it is respectful to be discrete and not eat, drink, or smoke in general public.
    • Making the effort to fit in is invariably appreciated so being aware of these aspects of cultural respect will assist you during your travels in Jordan.
