Itinerary

Travel Map

Day : 1 Madaba

Upon arrival into Amman airport, you will be met and transferred to our start hotel in Madaba. Spend the rest of the day at leisure.

Day : 2 Dana Nature Reserve

Madaba - Wadi Feinan. After breakfast we drive south to Dana Nature Reserve. We meet our Bedouin trek crew and guide and begin our first day of trekking, approximately 6 hours, which includes a lunch stop. From Dana to Feina it's mostly downhill and then route levels ...

Day : 3 Trek to Wadi Barwas Canyon

Wadi Feinan - Wadi Barwas. Today we walk for 6 hours as we head across classic hamada landscape - dry, rock-strewn desert with little sand. There are spectacular views of the mountain ranges to the east, with the expansive Wadi Arabia desert out to the west. Mostly flat terrain and several small wadis we must cross during this day trekking. Tonight we set up camp in Wadi Barwas.

Day : 4 Follow ancient Bedouin trails

Wadi Barwas - Ras el Feid. Today we leave behind the hamada desert and start with a steep ascent across rocks and small boulders to a twisting goat herder's track which leads us up into the mountains through a dramatic valley, with views eastwards towards Wadi Araba D...

Day : 5 Trek to Shkaret Msei'd

Rasi el Feid - Shkaret Msei'd. Today we join a Bedouin trail to traverse a rocky valley, gradually ascending by way of dry wadis and cols. Lasting approximately 2 hours we eventually descend to a riverbed with perennial water. We will continue along the wadi floor before a gentle climb up to the pale colored sandstone mountains of the Petra region. Tonight we camp at the col of Shkaret Msei'd.

Day : 6 Trek through rock canyons to Little Petra

Shkaret Msei'd - Beidha. The scenery changes dramatically today as we leave the narrow wadis behind and come upon the wide open sandstone hills that have the feel of a moonscape. With smooth and soft rocks the terrain is much easier to negotiate, with wide tracks and ...

Day : 7 Petra

Beidha - Petra. We bid farewell to our local trekking guide and crew this morning. Then, we continue with our guide to Petra (approx. 2-3 hours) starting across open farmland, we follow a well defined mountain track with views across the Araba Desert. After 5 days of ...

Day : 8 Amman

Petra - Amman. After an early breakfast we travel by private vehicle (3hrs) to Amman International Airport where our tour comes to an end.
