Arrive in Amman and transfer to the nearby town of Madaba. 

Today we will visit the important sites at Mount Nebo and Kerak Castle before before travelling to the simple but delightful tented campsite of Rummana on the edge of Dana Nature Rreserve.

You will spend a full day walking through the reserve, traversing the hillside across to Dana village for lunch before descending to spend the first night of the trek in in the Fienan Eco Lodge.

Today you climb up away from the Wadi floor, and ascend into the mountains. Initially the route is indistinct and crosses some rough terrain until a more distinct Bedouin trail is reached. The trail takes you over two passes, following up a delightful juniper-filled valley on the way to the second pass.

From the second pass the scenery is spectacular sandstone and black magmatic mountains, and you can see the next day's trail as it snakes its way across the mountainsides in the distance. The trail descends to the green valley below, and a short walk up river takes you the campsite for tonight, set up beside the flowing river.

A long but rewarding day - the 'crux' of the trek through this seldom visited wilderness of Jordan. After retracing your steps for a short while, the trail cuts up into the mountains again, passing the ruins of an Edomite village from where the views back down to Wadi Araba are spectacular. As the trail contours across the mountain side, it ascends to small cols and descends to dry wadis, with exciting new views appearing as each corner is turned. In the remoter middle section the trail is less distinct and one may at times feel more like a mountain goat than a trekker! Keep an eye out for the elusive Ibex near the spring at Hudus, before ascending gently to the final col and camp for the night.

Today our Jordanian pioneers have sought out an exciting new route through the wind and water sculptured sandstone, to avoid the road which has recently been tarmaced. Some rough fields are crossed where the Bedouin sow wheat in the autumn and harvest it the following spring. Emerging from the last canyon onto a high plateau, you can finally see across to the mountains of Petra and make out Aaron's Tomb. The final few kilometres descend gently on tracks and dirt roads to reach the fixed campsite at Amarin, where you can enjoy the luxury of electric lights and a hot shower!

After leaving camp you will first make a visit to Little Petra for a taste of what is to come at the main site. The Beida Neolithic site will also be visited, followed by pleasant walking passing many Bedouin camps. Some spectacular trails along rocky ledges take you around the final cliffs to arrive at the top end of Petra where you enter by the Monastery, which is usually the last part of Petra that people see. You will then climb down from the Monastery and after visiting the church, Nabatean temple and the main tombs exit Petra by the secondary 'dark' siq.

From here you can now re-enter the site through the main Siq, so you get to see the most famous view of Petra's treasury as though you are entering for the first time. The rest of the day is free to explore the wonders of Petra, before making the 90- minute drive to our fixed camp, Bait Ali, in Wadi Rum.

A full day excursion in Wadi Rum using 4x4 vehicles as support. The actual itinerary is flexible. You may be walking through sandy and rocky 'siqs', crossing wide wadis on camelback, ascending one of the rocky ‘jebels’ and generally exploring some of the less frequently visited parts of this amazing region. Tonight you will camp in a secluded desert location.

A final morning of excursions in Wadi Rum, visiting impressive natural rock arches and pre-historic rock engravings. You will return to Bait Ali for lunch before making the 3½ hour transfer back to Madaba for your last night in Jordan.

Your tour ends with a transfer to the airport after breakfast.
