Start/End locations may vary. Do not book flights until your trip details are confirmed.

Itinerary


  • Arrive in Amman

    Day 1

    Welcome to Jordan! Meet your MT Sobek representative at Queen Alia International Airport and transfer to your hotel in Amman. Explore the city on your own today, depending upon your flight arrival time. Later in the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.

    Accommodation: InterContinental Jordan Hotel-Amman, Jordan

    Meals: Dinner

  • Discover Amman

    Day 2

    Start today at Amman Citadel, where in the Old Testament King David arranged to have his lover's husband murdered. Continue your walking tour to Jebel Webdeh, the arts and cultural district, passing art galleries, antiquities, and handicraft shops. On foot, explore the old city, stopping at local restaurants to sample falafel, hummus, and kenafah, an Arab delicacy eaten at times of celebration. Continue through the streets and markets, visiting the Al-Husseini mosque and, time permitting, the Roman amphitheater. Tonight experience another side of Jordan with a wine tasting and snacks. Drive back to your hotel. Dinner on your own.

    Accommodation: InterContinental Jordan Hotel-Amman, Jordan

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

  • Journey to Jerash & Ajloun

    Day 3

    Head north to Jerash, regarded as one of the best-preserved and most important Roman cities in the Middle East. Stroll through ancient arches and colonnades, then stop at a nearby village to take lunch at Beit Khayrat Souf, a woman-owned and operated cafe. Afterwards, drive to Ajloun and visit its medieval castle, which commands a breathtaking view of the Jordan Valley. The castle was originally built to ward off Crusader armies from a vital trade crossroads between Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus, and Mecca.

    Accommodation: InterContinental Jordan Hotel-Amman, Jordan

    Transportation: 3-hour private van transfer

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

  • Head South to Mount Nebo & Madaba

    Day 4

    After breakfast, drive south to Mount Nebo and wonder at the view where Moses looked across to the Promised Land and later died and was buried. Continue to Madaba, where you discover the town's amazing Byzantine mosaics and the Madaba Map — the oldest preserved mosaic map of the Holy Land. After lunch head to the ancient Crusader castle in Karak, exploring the maze of stone-vaulted halls and passageways. Arrive at the Dana Nature Reserve overlooking Wadi Dana, and explore the old village before settling in for dinner.

    Accommodation: Dana Guesthouse-Dana Nature Reserve

    Transportation: 3-hour private van transfer

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Hike from Dana to Feynan Ecolodge

    Day 5

    Begin your hike at Dana Guesthouse (4,000') and head west into Dana Valley. The trail drops steeply and then descends gradually through the Dana Biosphere Reserve. Jordan's largest reserve includes four distinct bio-geographical zones supporting an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna. Look for Griffon vultures, hyrax, copper-blue lizards, and, if you're lucky, ibex or desert fox. Finish at the Feynan Ecolodge, from where a guided sunset walk takes you to a nearby hilltop for fresh Bedouin tea and stunning views of the sunset over the vast Wadi Araba desert.

    Accommodation: Feynan Ecolodge-Wadi Feynan, Jordan

    Activity: 4-5 hours/8.5 miles hiking with 750' elevation gain & 3,750' elevation loss

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Hike from Wadi Feynan to Furon

    Day 6

    Start early on a challenging hike to Furon. Walk through the historic landscape around Feynan, where copper has been mined for 3,000 years. As you leave Feynan, see the slag mountains that are the waste product of this ancient industry, plus ruins from the Nabataean and Roman periods. Pass through the entrance to Wadi Ghweir and ascend with great views. This is a steep and challenging section of the route, but extremely rewarding. In the afternoon, reach your camp on a beautiful, open plateau in Furon.

    Accommodation: MT Sobek Camp-Furon, Jordan

    Activity: 8-9 hours/11.5 miles hiking with 4,460' elevation gain & 1,575' elevation loss

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Hike from Furon to Ghbour Whedat

    Day 7

    After breakfast, start your hike past Ras Al-Feid towards Ghbour Whedat. Enjoy amazing views into the remotest and wildest corners of Jordan! Contouring the Sharah Mountains, follow a trail of Bedouin shepherd trails. On the remotest sections of the trail, you are walking on less traveled and harder-to-identify hunters' paths. The sheer peaks of black mountains overlooking the trail and steep precipitous drops of the canyons below make this day absolutely spectacular, with one view outdone by the next.

    Accommodation: MT Sobek Camp-Ghbour Whedat

    Activity: 6-7 hours/10 miles hiking with 2,450' elevation gain & 3,020' elevation loss

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Hike from Ghbour Whedat to Little Petra

    Day 8

    Hiking between Ghbour Whedat and Little Petra (Siq al-Barid) today, pass many sights including Ba'ajah ruins, Nabataean wine and olive presses, water tanks, wells, and Nabataean rock-carved facades. Arrive in Little Petra — a mini, magical version of Petra — and then continue following the timeline markers through history to the remains of a Neolithic village. Tonight have an unforgettable desert experience as you sleep under the stars in an authentic Bedouin camp.

    Accommodation: Little Petra Bedouin Camp

    Activity: 5-6 hours/8.5 miles hiking with 2,000' elevation gain & 1,850' elevation loss

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Hike from Little Petra to Petra

    Day 9

    Hike along good tracks that go pleasantly down Wadi Ghurab amidst sandstone mountains guarding the approaches to Petra. This route follows a Nabataean path out of the valley and skirts around the final mountain on a natural rock terrace that narrows slightly before reaching a hidden plateau high above the impressive chasm of Wadi Siyyagh. Just beyond, carved into the cliff face, the monumental Monastery (aka Ad Deir) comes into view. Nabataean steps lead down into ancient Petra. Hike one of the off-the-beaten path routes into Petra.

    Accommodation: Petra Marriott Hotel

    Activity: 8 hours/11.5 miles hiking with negligible elevation gain/loss

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Explore Ancient Petra & Travel to Wadi Rum

    Day 10

    Today, visit other trails and sights inside Petra including the Siq. Feeling bold? Visit less-touristic spots such as the Canyon of the Sig, Al-Khubtha Mountain or the High Place of Sacrifice, exploring ancient rock-carved ruins and climbing steep ancient Nabataean steps along the way to magnificent panoramic views. After lunch, drive to Wadi Rum and have a thrilling 4WD sunset adventure, following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, climbing sand dunes and rock bridges. Back at camp, enjoy a delicious Bedouin dinner and a starry night in the desert.

    Accommodation: Sun City Camp

    Transportation: 1.5-hour private van transfer

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Journey from Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea

    Day 11

    After breakfast in Wadi Rum, drive to the lowest point on earth to float and relax in the Dead Sea. Enjoy the sunshine and views while trying out an invigorating mud bath to cleanse the skin. Savor a festive farewell lunch and say goodbye to your guide. Come evening, gather for a final dinner!

    Accommodation: Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa-Sweimeh, Dead Sea

    Activity: Float in the Dead Sea

On foot, explore the old city, stopping at local restaurants to sample falafel, hummus, and kenafah, an Arab delicacy eaten at times of celebration. Continue through the streets and markets, visiting the Al-Husseini mosque and, time permitting, the Roman amphitheater. Tonight experience another side of Jordan with a wine tasting and snacks. Drive back to your hotel. Dinner on your own.

Begin your hike at Dana Guesthouse (4,000\') and head west into Dana Valley. The trail drops steeply and then descends gradually through the Dana Biosphere Reserve. Jordan\'s largest reserve includes four distinct bio-geographical zones supporting an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna. Look for Griffon vultures, hyrax, copper-blue lizards, and, if you\'re lucky, ibex or desert fox.

Hike along good tracks that go pleasantly down Wadi Ghurab amidst sandstone mountains guarding the approaches to Petra. This route follows a Nabataean path out of the valley and skirts around the final mountain on a natural rock terrace that narrows slightly before reaching a hidden plateau high above the impressive chasm of Wadi Siyyagh. Just beyond, carved into the cliff face, the monumental Monastery (aka Ad Deir) comes into view. Nabataean steps lead down into ancient Petra. Hike one of the off-the-beaten path routes into Petra.

Back at camp, enjoy a delicious Bedouin dinner and a starry night in the desert.

Guest Reviews


"Our guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable about history, archeology, and nature - and also personable and attentive to our needs. We could not ask for a better guide."

David L.
MT Sobek Guest, Jordan Passage to Petra Trekking

"Fantastic trip to a most magical destination. Each day was something new and different, from delicious dining, challenging and beautiful trekking, and beautiful accommodations. Petra left me in wonder! Amman and surrounding areas made me somehow feel oddly at home despite the language barriers due to the warm welcome I felt everywhere. The Dead Sea was a great way to end the trip! The guides let their love for their country shine through and it made us all feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing adventure! I've been to dozens of foreign countries, but Jordan has become one of my favorites!"
