An excellent new trekking adventure holiday walking in Jordan from Dana to Petra. Our walking begins out in the Dana Nature Reserve. From here the trekking takes us on hunters’ trails through deep gorges and walking across high ridges. Nights in Jordan whilst trekking will be spent camping Bedouin-style with the local guide and crew. Walking over a final escarpment, we reach the spectacular Monastery which heralds our arrival at Petra, recently voted for inclusion amongst the world’s ‘New 7 Wonders’. This is an unforgettable walking adventure holiday to Jordan and the final day's trekking to reach Petra is a delight in itself.
Trip Guide
On this trip we will be trekking through a desert world that has been crossed by nomadic people and their livestock for generations. Nowadays, the area is just about accessible by 4WD vehicles and there are rough ‘roads’ to the various camping places that we will use. We will be trekking on scant trails, however, far away from the route taken by our support vehicle. The underfoot conditions will include dry wadis, open sandy desert and rocky desert known as ‘hamada’. There are also sections of narrow trail across rocky terrain including some easy scrambling. The tracks and trails we use are generally not difficult. We will walk for an average of 5 to 6 hours on each of days 2 to 6, covering as much as 15 kilometres each day and with a reasonable amount of ascent and descent. Because this is a short trip, and at low altitude, we have given it the MODERATE grade.
