Be ready to leave the hotel at 7:00 AM to begin the 2.5-hour drive to Wadi Dana. Your hike begins in Dana Village (1,200 m / 3,937 ft), following your guide westward into the Dana Valley. Though the trail is initially a very steep descent, it soon levels out and descends more gradually. The Dana Biosphere Reserve is Jordan’s largest, protecting four distinct bio-geographical zones. As you hike, observe the amazing diversity of vegetation and wildlife that call Dana home. Watch specifically for griffin vultures, small mammals called hyrax, and copper-blue lizards sunning themselves on rocks. You may even see signs of desert foxes, ibex, or wolves.

Ghbour Whedat – Little Petra
Begin returning to civilization today after the previous day’s hike through remote areas. The closer you come to Little Petra, the more you will notice signs of human habitation, both past and present. You will pass camps belonging to Bedouins, including pens for their sheep and small plots for growing crops. You will also encounter Nabatean ruins, including aqueducts and what are believed to have been presses for wine and olives. Take time to explore Little Petra, which archaeologists believe was like a suburb of Petra. It was probably at stop along the Silk Road, offering housing to traders traveling between Africa and Arabia, Asia, and Europe. Notice the buildings with carved facades that have been carved directly into the sandstone walls of the canyon. Enjoy authentic Bedouin hospitality tonight as you stay in the Seven Wonders camp in Little Petra.

Little Petra – Petra
On our last trekking day, we will enter Petra ‘via the Back Door’, avoiding most other tourists. After breakfast, begin the trek to Petra - the “red rose city”. You will approach Petra along a pleasant trail down through Wadi Ghurab where sandstone mountains guard the entrance to the city. Few tourists enter Petra from this direction, so you will easily avoid the crowds. The ancient Nabataean route has been improved for safety, but the path along the natural rock terrace is still narrow. When you reach a hidden plateau, pause to appreciate the view down over Wadi Siyyagh. You will soon be able to see the structure known as “the Monastery” of Petra, carved into the face of the cliff. Refreshments are available from a Bedouin cafe here, then a set of ancient Nabataean steps lead you down into the city of Petra. There will be more opportunities to explore Petra tomorrow, so for now continue through Wadi Muthlim, if weather permits, and on to Wadi Musa to find your hotel for the night in Petra.

Marvel at the amazing colors and unique formations of the rocks before suddenly the gorge opens to reveal the incredible structure known as the “Treasury”. Explore this massive World Heritage site, which contains amphitheatres, temples, altars, colonnaded streets, and hundreds of tombs cut into the rock. After your tour of Petra, the adventure continues in Wadi Rum. Take a Jeep tour of the incredible Wadi Rum, exploring its valleys and canyons. Follow in Lawrence of Arabia’s footsteps as you climb sand dunes, discover inscriptions in the rock, and marvel over the awe-inspiring views.
