Overview

This is an adventurous, off-the-beaten-path, new trek along the Jordan Trail connecting the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Petra and Wadi Rum. The route is very remote, rugged, and visually stunning.

Through the southern desert mountain range, Wadi Araba, and the high elevation desert area of Wadi Rum you will pass sandstone mountains, dry valleys, and flat sandy expanses that will take your breath away.
