Visit Jordan
Day 1, Madaba
Upon arrival into Amman airport, you will be met and transferred to our start hotel in Madaba.
Spend the rest of the day at leisure.
No meals included.
Day 2, Dana Nature Reserve
Madaba - Wadi Feinan.
After breakfast we drive south to Dana Nature Reserve. We meet our Bedouin trek crew and guide and begin our first day of trekking, approximately 6 hours, which includes a lunch stop. From Dana to Feina it's mostly downhill and then route levels out and we enjoy a more leisurely walk through the valley, flanked by the Dana Mountains. On arrival in Wadi Feinan we set up camp for the night.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner included.
Day 3, Trek to Wadi Barwas Canyon
Wadi Feinan - Wadi Barwas.
Today we walk for 6 hours as we head across classic hamada landscape - dry, rock-strewn desert with little sand. There are spectacular views of the mountain ranges to the east, with the expansive Wadi Arabia desert out to the west. Mostly flat terrain and several small wadis we must cross during this day trekking. Tonight we set up camp in Wadi Barwas.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner included.
Day 4, Follow ancient Bedouin trails
Wadi Barwas - Ras el Feid.
Today we leave behind the hamada desert and start with a steep ascent across rocks and small boulders to a twisting goat herder's track which leads us up into the mountains through a dramatic valley, with views eastwards towards Wadi Araba Desert. While it is steep and at times challenging, the views when we reach the top of a high saddle are extremely rewarding. Our descent is on a well defined trail before we reach the dry river bed, where we will turn upstream to our camp for tonight at Ras el Feid.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner included.
Day 5, Trek to Shkaret Msei'd
Rasi el Feid - Shkaret Msei'd.
Today we join a Bedouin trail to traverse a rocky valley, gradually ascending by way of dry wadis and cols. Lasting approximately 2 hours we eventually descend to a riverbed with perennial water. We will continue along the wadi floor before a gentle climb up to the pale colored sandstone mountains of the Petra region. Tonight we camp at the col of Shkaret Msei'd.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner included.
Day 6, Trek through rock canyons to Little Petra
Shkaret Msei'd - Beidha.
The scenery changes dramatically today as we leave the narrow wadis behind and come upon the wide open sandstone hills that have the feel of a moonscape. With smooth and soft rocks the terrain is much easier to negotiate, with wide tracks and walkways. We pass through Bedouin encampments before reaching another rocky area as we descend into Little Petra. From the main entrance of Little Petra we make our way towards Beidha where we will camp overnight.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner included.
Day 7, Petra
Beidha - Petra.
We bid farewell to our local trekking guide and crew this morning. Then, we continue with our guide to Petra (approx. 2-3 hours) starting across open farmland, we follow a well defined mountain track with views across the Araba Desert. After 5 days of walking, entry into Petra is magnificent as you first glimpse the top of the Monastery as it comes into view through the mountains. We trek down from the Monastery and re-enter Petra through the main Siq, to get the most famous view of the iconic Treasury - as though you are entering Petra for the first time. Tonight we stay at a hotel in the nearby village of Wadi Musa, which is the gateway to Petra.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner included.
Day 8, Amman
Petra - Amman.
After an early breakfast we travel by private vehicle (3hrs) to Amman International Airport where our tour comes to an end.
1 breakfast, no lunch, no dinner included.
