This itinerary is designed for those who yearn for an active and immersive experience in Jordan, delving into the heart of its most spectacular landscapes. Prepare to be captivated by the raw beauty and ancient wonders of this captivating country, as you embark on a journey defined by hiking and exploration.
Your adventure commences in the historic town of Madaba, renowned for its exquisite Byzantine mosaics. Here, you'll have free time to admire the intricate artistry of the Madaba Map, a masterpiece depicting the Holy Land. From Madaba, you'll venture to the lost city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once served as the thriving capital of the Nabataean kingdom. Instead of following the typical tourist path, you'll experience the "back door" hike, a less-travelled route that unveils a unique perspective on this ancient wonder. This scenic trek leads you through hidden canyons and rugged landscapes, culminating in an exclusive view of the Monastery, one of Petra's most awe-inspiring monuments.
Leaving the sandstone cliffs of Petra behind, you'll journey into the vast and captivating desert of Wadi Rum. Here, the Bedouin Trail awaits, a multi-day hiking experience that unveils the true essence of the desert. Traverse towering canyons, scramble up natural rock bridges for panoramic vistas, and stand atop Jordan's highest peak, Jebel Umm ad Dami, where breathtaking views stretch across the desert and into Saudi Arabia. Each day on the Bedouin Trail brings new challenges and rewards, as you immerse yourself in the tranquility of the desert, camp beneath a star-studded sky, and connect with the nomadic spirit of the Bedouin people. To ensure your comfort during the camping portion of your adventure, all necessary camping equipment is provided, allowing you to fully embrace the experience without the burden of carrying extra gear.
Throughout your journey, you'll be accompanied by experienced guides who will share their knowledge of the land, its history, and its culture. They'll ensure your safety and comfort, allowing you to fully appreciate the magic of Jordan's natural wonders. And to minimize our impact on this pristine environment, we provide refillable water containers to reduce plastic waste, portable toilet facilities for convenience, and refreshing bag showers to rejuvenate after a day's hike. This tour is crafted for those who seek an active and authentic encounter with Jordan, discovering its hidden gems and embracing the spirit of adventure.

Trek to Petra and explore the magnificent Wadi Rum. Jordan’s wilderness is astonishing, and the best way to truly appreciate the biblical landscapes, ancient trails, and rich cultural history of this land is on foot. The trek from Dana Nature Reserve to Petra is widely regarded as one of the finest multi-day hikes in the Middle East, often referred to as the “Inca Trail of the Middle East.” Led by our experienced local guide and supported by a skilled Bedouin crew, this immersive journey takes you through remote canyons, across windswept plateaus, and along the edge of near-vertical gorges. You’ll camp in serene desert wadis (oases), surrounded by silence, stars, and sandstone cliffs. As you arrive on foot into Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, your first glimpse of the Monastery (Ad Deir) is nothing short of breathtaking. Continuing through the ancient Nabataean city, we explore its famed colonnaded street, the Roman-style theatre, and of course, the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) — all carved into glowing red rock. After Petra, the adventure continues in the majestic desert of Wadi Rum, famously associated with T.E. Lawrence. Here, we explore its dramatic sandstone formations by 4WD jeep and on foot. This lunar-like landscape, often used as a stand-in for Mars in films, offers some of the most spectacular sunsets on Earth — a blaze of orange, red, and gold. To round off this unforgettable journey, we descend to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the planet, where you'll float effortlessly in its salty waters and perhaps indulge in a revitalising mud treatment — the perfect way to relax and reflect before returning to Amman.
