Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized
I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!

day 1 - Join Amman
Welcome to the Kingdom of Jordan. Arrive and make your way to your hotel in Amman or book an airport transfer with us (additional cost applies).
Amman is one of the oldest cities in the world, inhabited since the bronze age. The city is growing into a modern city but retains its character and history. Depending on your flight arrival time, you may have free time to explore the capital city on your own.
Overnight: 3-star hotel in Amman.
day 2 - Trek to Petra, explore Petra
After breakfast, you will be transferred to Little Petra (hiking start point) Today we will enter Petra via ‘the Back Door,’ avoiding most of the crowds. We will hike a beautiful route up out of the desert valley that skirts around a sandstone mountain into a hidden high plateau and the back entrance to Petra. Your hike is rewarded as you approach the Monastery - the largest and best-preserved facade in all of Petra. Without the crowds of the main sites below, this site is great for photos. View the impressive Amphitheatre, carved into the mountain about 2000 years ago, with a capacity of 4000 spectators. Finally be awestruck by the Treasury - the most well known facade in Petra, expertly carved into the side of the cliff and standing almost 40 metres tall. Exit the Nabatean city through the magnificent tall slot-canyon main entrance to Petra known as the Siq.
A highlight of any trip to Jordan is to see first-hand the archaeological wonders of Petra. Famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, the Rose City is not to be missed. We will start on the main trail before quickly departing near the Obelisk Tomb. From there, we will head out on the Madras Trail, tucked in the hills south of the Siq (1.5km; 1.5 hours hiking, difficulty level - moderate). From this back entrance, we’ll climb up to the High Place of Sacrifice with sweeping views of the Royal Tombs (3km, 4 hours hiking, difficulty level - hard). Afterward, you will pass many sites including the Renaissance Tomb, the Soldier Tomb, and then finishing at the Colonnaded Street in the Ancient Roman City in the heart of Petra. From the centre of Petra, you will have free time to further explore the magical site on your own or head back to enjoy the cave bar or get some rest. You can head back down along the Street of Facades and the main trail, or for the adventurous, there are several good options to explore – including Jabal Khubtha, Um Bayyara, and more.
Overnight: 3-star hotel in Wadi Musa (Petra).
Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
day 4 - Visit Shobak Castle, cycle to Little Petra (46km)
This morning, we drive a short distance to visit Shobak Castle. The first of the Crusader Castles built in Jordan, it was constructed by Baldwin I in 1115 and surrendered in 1189 to the Great Salahdin. From Shobak we start our cycle on one of the most epic stages of the Jordan Bike Trail to Little Petra. Mostly on dirt tracks with a section of paved roads, this route leads us around the mountains of Dana and Petra with great views across the Jordan Valley. Lunch boxes will be provided on our way by a local family from Petra. Close to the end of the ride enjoy a visit to Little Petra – an ancient suburb of Petra. Tonight we will stay at a Bedouin camp, hidden behind the region’s typical sandstone mushroom rocks, where you will get a first-hand impression of the traditional Bedouin hospitality.
day 5 - Cycle from Little Petra to Wadi Rum (60km)
Starting at approximately 1600m our trail winds down a pleasant descent to the village of Toghra where the pavement meets the dirt. Today’s cycle is a long descent off-road towards Wadi Rum followed by an enjoyable flat section on hard sand in the wide-open desert. Upon arrival in Wadi Rum, jump on a jeep safari to explore this World Heritage Site, traveling around Wadi Rum’s valleys, canyons, dunes, and deserts, discovering rock inscriptions, majestic views of mountains and landscapes, and narrow gorges. At each stop you have the opportunity to hike and scramble and explore in your own time.
Ride Stats: 60 Km; +350m; -1200m; 45% off-road.
Overnight: Bedouin Camp in Wadi Rum.
Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
day 6 - Hike up Jabal Umm Ad-Dami (1854m)
After an early breakfast, we’ll head out by jeep to Jabal Umm Ad-Dami near the southernmost point of the nature reserve and the border with Saudi Arabia. This moderate hike will take 2-3 hours (one-way) from the bottom to the top where amazing panoramic desert views await. After the hike, a desert cooked lunch will be served.
Today, we will leave the desert and proceed to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. You can spend some time floating in the salty waters, try out the ‘magical’ Dead Sea mud, relax by the pool, or pamper yourself with some spa treatments (at own cost) – the perfect cure if your legs are still tired and sore from all the hiking and cycling. In the late afternoon, we will drive to Amman.
Note - It is possible to have a departure flight on day 7. If you choose to do so, we recommend a flight that departs at least after 7.00pm.
Overnight: 3-star hotel in Amman.
Meals:Breakfast and Lunch
day 8 - In Amman, trip concludes
After breakfast at the hotel, make your own way to the airport or book an airport transfer with us (additional cost applies).
