Day 1: Amman Airport - Madaba

Our representative will meet you upon arrival at Amman Airport and assist with your visa to Jordan.  After, he will escort you to our driver to continue to Madaba (approximately 30 minutes away). If time permits, we will tour Madaba & Mt Nebo.  Overnight in Madaba in 3* hotel.

Day 2: Madaba - Dana Nature Reserve

After breakfast, we drive south to the Dana Nature Reserve. We meet our Bedouin trekking crew and guide and begin our first day of trekking, approximately 6 hours, which includes a lunch stop. From Dana to Feynan, it's mostly downhill and then the route levels out and we enjoy a more leisurely walk through the valley, flanked by the Dana Mountains. On arrival in Wadi Feinan, we set up camp for the night.  Dinner and mobile camping in Dana Nature Reserve. 

Day 3: Wadi Feynan to Wadi Barwas (6 hours; 12KM; altitude:  mostly level)

Breakfast at the camp, then today we walk for 6 hours as we head across classic Hamada landscape - dry, rock-strewn desert with little sand. There are spectacular views of the mountain ranges to the east, with the expansive Wadi Arabia Desert out to the west. Mostly flat terrain, there are several small wadis that we must cross during this day trekking. Dinner and mobile camping in Wadi Barwas. 
 

Day 4: Wadi Barwas to Ras el Feid (700m (2300 ft) ascent, 250m (820 ft) descent)

After breakfast, we set off leaving the stony "Hamada" desert behind us.  We continue our trek and walk around the foot of the mountain to reach the trail head of an ancient Bedouin migration path that ascends steeply across rocks and small boulders through a twisty track rising high into the mountain. This section can be challenging and takes around 3 hours. The route offers stunning views westwards towards the fascinating Wadi Araba desert. We eventually reach the top of a high saddle which has some of the most beautiful scenery of the trek before descending following a small goat track to the river valley of Wadi Feid. Here we have a well-deserved opportunity to refresh and cool down in its cool water, a perfect place for lunch. We then continue our trek, walking upstream and maneuvering around a beautiful dense garden of oleander, willow, tamarisk, and reed. Beyond this, we walk along a dry river bed surrounded with colorful sandstone outcrops to reach our camping spot where our crew will be waiting for us with Bedouin tea and after a wash and rest, a Bedouin-style evening meal.  Dinner and mobile camping in Ras el Feid. 

Day 5: Ras el Feid to Shkaret Msei'd (trekking 7-8 hours, 21KM)  170m (560 ft) ascent, 150m (490 ft) descent, 300m (985 ft) ascent

With an early rise and breakfast, we continue our trek by retracing our path along the riverbed gradually climbing up the hills following ancient migration paths to uncover some of the most spectacular sceneries in Jordan!   This part of the route is quite challenging and includes some scrambling to overcome some of the larger obstacles. The route becomes less well-defined and we depend on our Bedouin guide for the best route skirting the Sharah Mountains. The trail continues along the Wadi floor and gently climbs up into the pale colored sandstone distinctive hill that offers incredible views across the surrounding landscapes of mountains and canyons.   We find shade here and rest for lunch before continuing our trek again with a descent, followed by a gentle uphill climb to reach a bare rock slab perfectly located to spend another magical night in the wild where we set up camp and enjoy the peaceful haven of the mountains scenery around us. Mobile camping and dinner in Shkaret Msei'd.

Day 6: Shkaret Msei'd - Little Petra (trekking 7-8 hours, 17KM)  150m (500 ft) ascent, 250m (800 ft) descent

Breakfast at the camp, then today the scenery changes dramatically as we leave the narrow wadis behind and come upon the wide open sandstone hills that have the feel of a moonscape. With smooth and soft rocks the terrain is much easier to negotiate, with wide tracks and walkways. We pass through Bedouin encampments before reaching another rocky area as we descend into Little Petra. With just a short walk, our route takes us to our campsite uniquely located and surrounded by amazing sandstone mountains.  Dinner and overnight at 7 Wonders Bedouin Camp.

Day 7:  Little Petra – Monastery (trekking: 5 to 6 hours to the Treasury in addition to 3 to 4 hours for sightseeing; 16KM;  110m (360 ft) ascent, 100m (330 ft) descent, 100m (330ft) ascent

After breakfast at the camp, today, enter Petra in a way in which very few visitors have – through the secret entrance to the Monastery.  Start the trek on a trail which initially winds across open farmland.  For the first two hours of the trek the path contours around the mountain ridge with fantastic views to Wadi Araba desert.  Then the climb starts at the narrow route, open to sheer dropoffs, leads to perhaps Petra's most awe-inspiring monument, the Monastery. We will then walk down the well-worn Nabataean steps into the heart of Petra, where we will visit Facades Street, Urn Tomb, the Theatre, Colonnaded Street, Royal Tombs, and Qasr al Bent. We then exit Petra via the Dark Siq (a secondary Siq) to visit the High Place of Sacrifice before re-entering the site through the main Siq so you get to experience the most famous view of Petra, "Al Khaznah‟ or "The Treasury‟, as though you are entering for the first time.  After enjoying the unparalleled beauty of Al Khaznah, we then exit Petra and head to a 3* hotel in Petra for overnight. 
Please note that trekking through the Dark Siq is subject to weather conditions. If rain is forecast in the area, we will use an alternate route.

Day 8: Petra – Amman

After breakfast, and according to your flight details, we will transfer you to Amman Airport (about 3-hour drive).
