- Trek from Dana to magnificent Petra
- Amazing desert and mountain scenery
- Camp in true Bedouin style beneath the stars
Combine this holiday with our Petra and the Valley of the Moon trek for a two week Jordan Adventure!
A truly incredible and iconic walk across the deserts and mountains of Jordan to magnificent, iconic Petra, this adventure is definitely unique. Trekking through dramatic gorges and canyons of the Mountains on trails best known only to the local Bedouin, it's unlikely you'll encounter other trekkers.
With the intelligent use of 4WD drive vehicles, wonderful nights spent camping in wild tranquillity beneath the stars can be fully supported and in true Bedouin style along with local cooks providing amazing food in splendid isolation. Waking each morning to the aroma of freshly cooked bread at camp is almost worth it alone! You'll be trekking through some of the most exciting and rugged landscapes in Jordan crossing the classic rocky hamada desert to climb into the spectacular mountains and escarpments above the Great Rift Valley. Spectacular trails lead through Wadi's and along rocky ledges to emerge at the "back door" of Petra itself. A perfect climax to a superb voyage of discovery through the dramatic landscapes of the Bedouin. It's no surprise that this adventure is fast becoming known as "The Inca Trail of the Middle East", yet with our very special route to Petra you'll certainly feel "off the beaten track".
