10 days of hiking in Jordan

After breakfast, depart Madaba for the spectacular landscapes of Wadi Bin Hammad, a verdant canyon nestled in the Kerak Mountains. Known for its hot springs, waterfalls, and lush vegetation, this trail offers a unique contrast between tropical nature and desert rocks. Following the river, you'll walk between high sandstone cliffs, soothed by the gentle sound of the water. A refreshing hike, accessible to all levels, ideal for immersing yourself in Jordanian nature. Drive to the Dana Reserve for an overnight stay in the heart of tranquility and nature.

After breakfast, meet your guide at the hotel or camp to begin the descent from the village of Dana into the stunning Wadi Dana valley. The trail winds between sandstone cliffs and desert vegetation, offering spectacular views of the reserve. Enjoy a picnic lunch and tea in the heart of nature before continuing to Wadi Malga. Set up camp under a starry sky, enjoy dinner cooked over a campfire, and spend a peaceful night in the silence of the desert.

An early start for one of the most spectacular stages of the trek. The trail winds between the red hills of Jabal al-Hamra, Mahzan, and Barwas, with the vast Wadi Araba to the west. The ascent is gentle, traversing narrow valleys and switchbacks along ancient Bedouin paths, supported by juniper branch bridges. A pause at Ras Naqb Shdeid offers breathtaking views in both directions—the last landmark before Jabal Safaha. Then, a descent to Ras Al Fied follows wadis fed by springs and a natural pool, perfect for a refreshing dip.

After breakfast, we depart from Ras Al Fied along an ancient trail winding through sandstone formations. Desert panoramas unfold before us: ochre cliffs, arid plateaus, and sparse vegetation. Desert wildlife—lizards and birds—adds to the enjoyment of the walk. As we approach Little Petra, signs of life appear: Bedouin encampments, herds of livestock, and small-scale farming. The trail then descends into a narrow sandstone canyon to reach the archaeological site of Beidha, a fascinating prelude to the majesty of Petra.

After breakfast, you'll be awestruck by the beauty of the "Lost City," the rose-red city of Petra, as you explore its many caves and tombs along the Petra Back Entrance Trail. This hike begins in Little Petra, also known as Siq al-Barid, and traverses a rugged landscape of dramatic rock formations, narrow canyons, and panoramic views. The trail passes by the Monastery (Ad Deir), one of Petra's most impressive monuments, before descending into the heart of the site. This route offers not only a more peaceful and intimate experience but also allows hikers to admire Petra's breathtaking beauty and historical significance from a fresh perspective. It's a moderately challenging hike, ideal for those who want to experience Petra beyond the main tourist routes.

We will continue south towards Wadi Rum, where we will experience a true 4x4 adventure, following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and traversing the sand dunes. We will spend the night in a wild desert camp under the stars.

After waking up in the unique setting of the camp this morning, set off on a hike in the surrounding area (approximately 12 to 15 kilometers), with a tea and lunch break. You can climb one of the large sand dunes to admire spectacular views across the valley – the perfect opportunity to take unforgettable photos. Explore the area's distinctive rock formations and let yourself be enveloped by its striking silence. Wadi Rum is perhaps best known for its connection with the famous British officer T.E. Lawrence, who lived here during the Great Arab Revolt of 1917–1918. This evening, once again enjoy traditional Bedouin hospitality and the sparkling desert night sky.

After breakfast, transfer to Aqaba where you can explore the downtown markets, enjoy free time at one of the beach resorts, try snorkeling or scuba diving, and observe the multicolored coral reefs beneath the clear blue waters. Overnight in Aqaba.

After breakfast, transfer to the lowest point on Earth: the Dead Sea. Spend the day floating and relaxing in the Dead Sea at one of the resort hotels. Enjoy this unique experience, bathe in the salt waters, and try the mineral mud baths, known for their revitalizing benefits for the skin. Admire the sunset over the West Bank hills with Jerusalem on the horizon. Overnight at the Dead Sea.

After breakfast, transfer to Queen Alia International Airport for your departure.
