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.

The drive from QAIA into Amman takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour.(35 km)

Accommodations: La Locanda Boutique Hotel

Early morning pick up from Amman (~7am) and head south to Dana.

We start trekking from Dana Village, 1,200m above sea level and head west into Dana valley.

The trail drops steeply at first and then levels into a more gradual descent through the Dana Biosphere Reserve towards the eco-lodge at Feynan.

Jordan's largest reserve includes four distinct bio-geographical zones, which means that Dana supports an astonishing diversity of birds, plants, and animals. On your way down the valley, you may see Griffin Vultures overhead as well as hyrax and copper-blue lizards on the rocks; if you're lucky you might even catch a glimpse of an ibex or a desert fox, or see the footprint of a wolf in the dust.

We finish the hike at one of the world's best eco-lodges; Feynan Eco-Lodge.

After breakfast, transfer to Furon where we hike towards Ghbour Whedat.

Take in the astonishing views into the most remote, wildest corners of Jordan, contouring the Sharah Mountains and following a trail of mostly clear Bedouin shepherd trails.

Few people travel on this remote section of the trail, making it harder to identify hunters’ paths. The sheer peeks of black mountains looming over our path and the steep, precipitous drops of the canyons below make this day spectacular. We gradually climb up the hills following Bedouin shepherds’ paths to uncover more of the spectacular views of the desert below.

We set up a ‘washroom’ tent and toilet tent. These are basic facilities, but allow privacy to wash and use the bathroom.

After yesterday's very remote hike, today we will see signs of increasing human habitation as we approach Little Petra.

Along the way, we pass Bedouin camps, sheep pens, and small agricultural plots.

In this region between Ghbour Whedat and Little Petra, we will also pass Nabatean ruins, some of which may include wine and olive presses, aqueducts, and other ancient water infrastructures.

Today we will also visit Little Petra, believed by archaeologists to be a "suburb" of Petra, and meant to house traders traveling along the Silk Road connecting Africa to Asia, Europe, and Arabia. Touring Little Petra, we will see rock-carved facades, houses, and other ancient buildings carved into the sandstone canyon.

Accommodations: Little Petra Bedouin Camp

Little Petra Camp is owned and operated by a Bedouin family from Petra and it is an eco-friendly camp that offers a traditional & real Bedouin experience. All tents are private, but the bathrooms and the showers are shared. Each tent is equipped with beds, mattresses, blankets, and pillows.

After breakfast, we continue our track and enter Petra via ‘The Back Door’ avoiding most of the tourists.

Well-maintained tracks lead us down Wadi Ghurab amidst sandstone mountains guarding the approach to Petra. This way follows a Nabataean route out of the valley and skirts around the final mountain on a natural rock terrace.

The path narrows slightly before reaching a hidden plateau high above the impressive chasm of Wadi Siyyagh.

Just beyond, carved into the cliff face, ‘The Monastery’ suddenly comes into view, where there is a Bedouin café for refreshments.

Nabataean steps then lead down into ancient Petra; through which the route goes before exiting past ‘The Treasury’ and through the famous ‘Petra Siq’ to the shops, cafés, and hotels of Wadi Musa.

Transfer to Wadi Rum for the night.
