Day 4

Furon - Hike from Furon to Ghbour Whedat - 17Km

On this day, we will start hiking from Furon past Ras Al-Feid towards Ghbour Whedat. Today we will witness astonishing views into the some of the most remote and wildest corners of Jordan. Contouring the Sharah Mountains, follow a trail of mostly clear Bedouin shepherd paths. The sheer peeks of black mountains overlooking our trail and steep precipitous drops of the canyons below make this day absolutely spectacular. We will gradually climb up the hills to uncover more of the spectacular views over the desert below. Then, we will proceed to our wilderness campsite in Ghbour Whedat. Overnight wilderness camping in Ghbour Whedat. Hiking Distance: 17.1Km, Ascent: 750m, Descent: 920m Hiking Level: Difficult
Day 5

Ghbour Whedat - Hike from Ghbour Whedat to Little Petra - 14Km

After yesterday’s very remote hike, today while we approach Little Petra, we will see signs of increasing human habitation. Along the way we will pass Bedouin camps, sheep pens, and small agricultural plots. In the 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 visit Little Petra, believed by archaeologist 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. Overnight at a Bedouin Camp in Little Petra. Hiking Distance: 14Km, Ascent: 610m, Descent: 560m Hiking Level: Moderate
Day 6

Little Petra - Hike from Little Petra to Petra - 14Km+

After breakfast it’s time to start your hike. Enter Petra via ‘The Back Door’ avoiding most of the tourists.  Good tracks go pleasantly down Wadi Ghurab amidst sandstone mountains guarding the approaches to Petra. This way follows a Nabataean route out of the valley and skirts round the final mountain on a natural rock terrace which has been ‘improved’ for the safety of walkers. Even so, it still 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 if you would like.  Nabataean steps then lead down into ancient Petra. Your route then takes you through Wadi Muthlim (weather dependent) to the Petra visitors center, and from there we will head back to our Bedouin Camp for the night. Overnight in a Bedouin Camp in Little Petra.  Hiking Distance: 13.8Km, Ascent: 496m, Descent: 519m Hiking Level: Moderate

Day 7

Petra - Wadi Rum Jeep Tour - Wadi Rum

Early morning and after breakfast, you will head to visit the Nabatean Red Rose city of Petra, one of the 7 world wonders. You will enter through the “Siq,” a 1km long narrow gorge which is flanked either side by 80m high cliffs! Notice the dazzling colors and formations of the rocks. The world heritage site is massive, and contains hundreds of elaborated rock-cut tombs, a treasury, Roman-style theaters, temples, sacrificial altars and colonnaded streets. Later on this day we will transfer you to Wadi Rum. Enjoy the wilderness adventure of a 4×4 jeep tour of Wadi Rum, following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, climbing sand dunes and rock bridges. The jeep tour will allow you to travel around Wadi Rum’s valleys, canyons, dunes and deserts, discover rock inscriptions, majestic views of mountains and landscapes and narrow gorges. Return back to your camp, enjoy the hospitality of the Bedouins. Overnight at a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum.
Day 8

Wadi Rum - Dead Sea Visit & Lunch - Amman

After breakfast, we will proceed to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. Once we arrive, we can enjoy floating in the Dead Sea, one of the world’s great natural experiences. Floating is the right word for it; with an eye stingily high salt content it is virtually impossible to swim in the viscous waters of a sea that is 415m below ‘sea level’. After floating, trying out the “magical” Dead Sea mud and soaking up some sun, we will head back to the capital. Overnight at a hotel in Amman.
