This is a true end-to-end hiking journey through Jordan, not a sightseeing tour with short walks. You hike continuously through the country’s most iconic landscapes—Dana, Petra (via the Back Door), Wadi Rum, and Jordan’s highest peak—with no rushed days or filler stops.
What makes it unique:
Back Door entry to Petra, hiking directly into the Monastery and through the ancient city over two full days
Expert local hiking guides in Dana and Wadi Rum, plus a fully guided Petra experience
Challenging but achievable daily hikes (10–16 km) across varied terrain
Seamless flow from mountains to desert to the Dead Sea, designed specifically for hikers
Authentic overnights, including locally owned Bedouin glamping camps
A balance of physical challenge, cultural immersion, and recovery, ending with the Dead Sea
This tour is ideal for travelers who want to experience Jordan on foot, beyond the standard routes, with comfort, safety, and local knowledge throughout.
