Embark on the ultimate Jordan Trail experience with this unforgettable 5-day trek from Petra to Wadi Rum. This journey combines adventure, culture, and nature, leading you through some of Jordan’s most breathtaking and untouched landscapes.
Your adventure begins in the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. After exploring the carved sandstone facades and majestic tombs, you set out on foot, leaving the crowds behind and stepping into the dramatic wilderness. The trail winds through rugged mountains, hidden canyons, and wide valleys, offering ever-changing scenery at every turn.
Each day brings new terrain and a sense of discovery: from narrow gorges with towering cliffs to open highlands where the silence of the desert surrounds you. The hike is guided by experienced local Bedouins who know every hidden path and will share stories of life in the desert, adding cultural depth to your journey. Along the way, you’ll encounter authentic Bedouin communities, offering a rare chance to experience their traditions, hospitality, and way of life.
Nights are spent in Bedouin-style desert camps, where you’ll sleep beneath a blanket of stars. Gather around the campfire to enjoy freshly prepared meals cooked in the traditional way, savouring flavours unique to the region. The desert sky, unpolluted by city lights, becomes a spectacular display of constellations, making each evening as memorable as the day’s hike.
The trail gradually leads you deeper into the southern desert, where sandstone cliffs rise dramatically and the horizon stretches endlessly. On the final day, you arrive in the legendary Wadi Rum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called the “Valley of the Moon.” With its vast open spaces, towering rock formations, and golden sands, Wadi Rum offers the perfect finale to this adventure. It is a place of both serenity and grandeur, where nature’s beauty leaves a lasting impression.
This 5-day trek is more than just a hike—it is an immersive journey that connects you with Jordan’s landscapes, people, and traditions. Whether you are drawn by the challenge of the trail, the cultural encounters, or the sheer beauty of the desert, this experience promises to be one of the most memorable adventures of your lifetime.
