Venture to Jordan, a land rich in history and natural beauty, beginning in the vibrant capital of Amman, where ancient treasures coexist with modern life. Explore its historical sites, then delve into the heart of the Jordan Trail, a 5-day hiking odyssey that takes you through diverse landscapes of the Dana Biosphere Reserve. Cross remote and wild regions, passing dramatic desert vistas and Bedouin camps, reaching the iconic Little Petra, and finally, the famed Petra, accessed through its less traversed back entrance. This remarkable journey combines cultural immersion with a rewarding, awe-inspiring natural experience.
