Trek Petra

This wonderful trekking holiday in Jordan includes a 6-day trek which takes you through the beautiful scenery of Dana Nature Reserve, skirts the Jordanian Desert, and picks up an ancient Bedouin migration route that leads through the mountains to the famed rose red city of Petra.

Few westerners have crossed this dramatic terrain, and apart from your support team, you are likely to have the mountains to yourself. 

Finish the trek by hiking from Little Petra along a little-used trail to finish at the monastery high above the city of Petra.

Comments

This is one of the most beautiful treks I have ever walked, passing through remote scenery along an old Bedouin migration route that few westerners have even heard of. Reaching Petra after a week amongst the mountains and desert of Jordan gives you a new appreciation for its magnificent setting.
