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.
