Summer Hiking Tour in Jordan - 6 Days

Arrive and make your way to your hotel in Amman. Amman is one of the oldest cities in the world, inhabited since the bronze age. The city is growing into a modern city, but retains its character and history. Depending on your flight arrival time, you may have free time to explore on your own. Overnight in Amman.

After breakfast at your hotel in Amman, we will take you to Wadi Mujib for your first adventure hike. Enjoy beautiful views over the Dead Sea on your way, and get ready for a self guided hike on the Siq Trail: 2-3 hours of climbing, splashing, hiking, sliding, and jumping trough a stunning gorge! Follow the course of the river between towering sandstone cliffs to the base of a large waterfall. Depending on seasonal rainfall levels, there might even be pools deep enough to swim. After a short break to change dry up and change clothes, we will then continue to Little Petra. The site, also known as Siq al-Barid (engl. the Cold Canyon), is believed to be a ‘suburb’ of Petra, and was probably meant to house traders traveling along the Silk Road. After some time to explore, we’ll head on to our home for the night – a Bedouin Camp close by. Overnight: Bedouin Camp at Little Petra

Enter the Nabatean city of Petra through the magnificent tall and narrow canyon entrance to Petra know as the Siq. Witness the ancient city like the travelers of old along the main trail. You're hike is rewarded as you approach perhaps the largest and best preserved facade in all of Petra - without the crowds of the main sites below.

Get ready to summit Jordan’s highest peak – Jabal Umm ad-Dami. After breakfast and long jeep ride through the stunning desert landscape (approx. 1hr), we’ll reach the foot of the mountain. The hiking path is very steep and a little strenuous, but overall it’s a moderate hike: it will only take you about 2-3 hours to get to the top and back down again (depending on your level of fitness of course). Once you reach peak you will see – the stunning desert views were absolutely worth every effort! Standing at an altitude of 1854m above sea level, you gain a whole new perspective of the breathtaking landscape surrounding you. To the South, you can see across a wide mountain panorama far into Saudi Arabia, to the North you can spot Rum Village and the famous Seven Pillars of Wisdom at the horizon.

After an early breakfast, we’ll drive back up North, to the shores of the Dead Sea. Did you know that this also is the lowest point on earth?! Today, we will take time to float in the salty waters, try out the ‘magical’ Dead Sea mud, relax by the pool, or pamper ourselves to some spa treatments – the perfect way to end the trip. Towards the evening we get onto the bus for a last time, and drive back to Amman

Sadly, all great things must come to an end. For those flying out already, it is generally recommended to leave Amman at least 4 hours prior to your departure. We wish you a safe flight, and hope you will return back home with many wonderful memories of your time in Jordan!
