Petra to Wadi Rum Trek - 6 Days

We'll pass a cluster of mountains as we head down to reach our camp near the Jordan Valley.

Your journey today has a mixture of up and downhills and ends at a beautiful location for a campsite.

You will face a long-gradual ascent as you hike up the mountain and out of the Jordan Valley. Later in the day, you'll reach the desert plateau in the Wadi Rum area.

Red sand dunes, sandstone mountains, and rock formations can be expected in this protected area. The tour ends here. Some people like to carry on to Aqaba and the Red Sea, some travelers want to go directly to the Dead Sea, while others prefer to head straight back to Amman. We are happy to arrange a private extension for you or to help you with what to do next.
