Overview

This excellent trekking holiday in Jordan takes us from the Dana Reserve, southwards to the ancient 'Rose-Red City' of Petra. This trek has rapidly gained a reputation as one of the finest in the Middle East. Six days of trekking takes us through the most rugged country in Jordan, straddling the edge of the great Rift Valley. Starting out from Wadi Feinan in the Dana Nature Reserve, the trek takes us on hunters' trails through deep gorges and across high ridges, climbing gradually from around 300 metres at Feinan to around 1100 metres at the high viewpoint above Petra. Nights will be spent camping Bedouin-style with the local guide and crew. Crossing a final escarpment, we reach the spectacular ‘Monastery', which heralds our arrival at Petra - one of the world's ‘New7Wonders'. The route from Dana to Petra is now part of the ‘Jordan Trail’ which spans the length of this interesting and diverse country. The ‘Jordan Trail’ is an upcoming brand new way-marked trek and the Dana to Petra section is probably the most beautiful and best. This great adventure follows in the footsteps of many explorers and is a magical week of discovery, walking and above all, Jordanian hospitality.

On this holiday we will be trekking through a desert world that has been crossed by nomadic people and their livestock for generations. Nowadays, the area is just about accessible by 4WD vehicles and there are rough ‘roads' to the various camping places that we will use. We will be trekking on scant trails, however, far away from the route taken by our support vehicle. The underfoot conditions will include dry wadis, open sandy desert and rocky desert known as ‘hamada'. There are also sections of narrow trail across rocky terrain including some easy scrambling. The tracks and trails we use are generally not difficult. We will walk for an average of 5 to 6 hours on each of days 2 to 6, covering as much as 15 kilometres each day and with a reasonable amount of ascent and descent. This is a relatively short trekking holiday and at low elevation.

Why KE?

Our Dana to Petra trek is KE’s most sought-after trip worldwide. We seek the hidden trails and off-the-beaten-track routes of the Jordan Mountain Trail, offering a unique perspective of the stunning wild desert landscape.  Our approach into the fabled Nabataean city of Petra is via the little known ‘backdoor’, bringing us to the foot of the imposing Monastery; an unforgettable and intimate moment.

We will make an early start for the drive southwards to the Dana Nature Reserve. Here, we meet our trek crew and trekking guide set off on a first day’s walk which will take 6 hours including a stop for lunch. The walk from Dana to Feinan is essentially downhill with the initial 800 metre descent taking place in the first hour of the walk. After this, the route levels out and we can enjoy a far more gentle walk through a wide open valley flanked by the Dana Mountains. Arriving in Wadi Feinan, we set up our first camp of the trip.

This is another 6-hour walking day, which will take us across classic ‘hamada’ landscape – dry, rock-strewn desert, with little sand. The route is quite level and there are spectacular views of the high mountain ranges to the east and the expansive Wadi Araba Desert stretching out to the west. Although the terrain is essentially flat, there are several small wadis (dry valleys), that must be crossed throughout the day. We pass both Byzantine and Nabatean ruins during the course of today’s walk and our local guide will point these out. We set up camp for the night in Wadi Barwas.

Leaving the stony ‘hamada’ desert behind, there is a steep ascent across rocks and small boulders which eventually leads to a twisting goat herder’s track. The initial uphill section takes approximately 3 hours. The track leads up into the mountains through a narrow and dramatic valley with wonderful views eastwards towards the Wadi Araba Desert. This is a steep and challenging section of the route, but extremely rewarding, as we finally reach the top of a high saddle. The descent to the river valley beyond is on a well–defined trail through rocky surroundings. There are views ahead of the next day’s route. On reaching the dry river bed, we turn upstream for half an hour to our camp at Ras el Feid.

We retrace our route along the riverbed, before turning off on a Bedouin trail that traverses a rocky valley side, gradually ascending by way of dry wadis and indistinct cols. This part of the path is particularly challenging, becoming less well-defined, with some easy scrambling to overcome the largest obstacles. This section lasts approximately 2 hours and eventually descends to a riverbed with perennial water. Look out for the elusive ibex in this remote area. The trail continues along the wadi floor and gently climbs up into the pale coloured sandstone mountains of the Petra region. The climb from the valley to the escarpment (where Petra is situated) is gentle and beautiful with a slight uphill climb towards the end across bare rock slabs. We camp at the col of Shkaret Msei’d.

Leaving the campsite at Shkaret Msei'd the scenery changes dramatically. We leave the narrow, confining wadis behind and find ourselves amongst wide-open sandstone hills that have something of the feel of a moonscape. The rock is smooth and soft and the terrain is easy to negotiate, with wide tracks and walkways. The Nabatean influence is apparent here and the first cut steps can be seen. The trail passes through Bedouin encampments, before reaching another rocky area. We descend into Little Petra using a little used route. The splendour of Little Petra provides an insight into what lies ahead at the main Petra site. From the main entrance of Little Petra, we make our way towards Beidha with evidence of modern human settlement in the form of jeep tracks.

We will say goodbye to our local trekking guide and crew this morning and we continue with our tour leader. The walk from here to Petra will take between 2 and 3 hours, with the initial walk across open farmland. The route then follows a well–defined mountain track with fantastic views across to the Araba Desert, some 100 km / 60 miles away. The walk into Petra is magnificent and is the culmination of 5 days of hard walking. The initial glimpse of the top of the Monastery, as it comes into view through the mountains, has a similar effect of the first glimpse of the Treasury from the Siq. We will then trek down from the Monastery and exit Petra by the secondary Siq before re-entering the site through the main Siq so you get to see the most famous view of Petra as though you are entering for the first time. After our sightseeing visit to Petra, we overnight at a hotel in nearby Wadi Musa.

The group will meet at the hotel in Madaba

A single group transfer from Amman Airport to the hotel will be provided.

At the end of the holiday there will be a single timed transfer from the group hotel in Wadi Musa back to Amman Airport.

Anyone may join the group transfers by prior arrangement. Travelling as a group or on public transport saves energy. If this is not practical, we can provide private transfers at an additional cost. Taxis are also available.

Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

All meals except 1 dinner are included in the holiday price. Dinner on the first evening in Madaba is not included. Most group members will arrive late in the evening having taken dinner on the plane. For those arriving earlier the hotel has a restaurant or there is a wide range of dining options nearby (allow £10 - £15 for a dinner).

It is not recommended to drink untreated water from the taps. If you are on a trekking or cycling holiday, water is supplied to fill up your individual bottles. This will be boiled, filtered or provided in large jerry cans or 5 litre bottles. Additionally you should take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) to treat your water when in towns or where water is not supplied. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

Breakfasts on trek consist of bread, a variety of cheese, honey, jams, yoghurt, fruit, tea and Nescafe. For lunch there will be a variety of salads, spicy humus, breads and other dishes from which we can select, or a full packed lunch. Dinner will usually be a soup followed by barbeque or pan fried meat and vegetables with plenty of bread, yoghurt, and humus followed by fresh fruit and tea or coffee. Mineral water is provided. Vegetarians can be catered for.

We will spend 1 night in a comfortable family-run hotel in Madaba and 1 night in a similar standard of hotel in Wadi Musa (Petra). All rooms are en suite.

Whilst on trek there are 5 nights supported camping. When camping, we provide 2-man tents, but it is quite usual for group members to find a secluded spot in the dunes (or by the campfire if preferred) and to sleep out under the blanket of stars. There will also be a basic toilet tent and washing facilities.

Accommodation is twin share. If you are travelling by yourself, you will be paired up with another single client of the same sex. Single hotel rooms and/or single tents are available for a supplementary cost. If you are planning to extend your holiday, additional nights are available on request.

The group will be led by a professional and qualified tour leader. In addition during the trek, there will be a Beduoin trekking guide and a support crew of one or more drivers who will assist with the cooking.

This holiday does not involve any significant ascent to altitude and we would not expect any altitude issues with this trip.

Approximately £100-£125 (or the equivalent in US dollars or euros) should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses and the cost of your visa. You should carry your travel money in the form of cash and you should exchange the majority of this on the day of your arrival at the airport in Amman. Sterling, Euros and US dollars can easily be exchanged in Jordan. The unit of currency is the Jordanian Dinar (JD). You should also allow a total of approximately £70 for tips to your drivers, local guides and trek crew. The cost of the Petra visit is included in the trip price. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly (credit cards can be useful in this respect). Also, if you expect to buy considerable quantities of drinks or other refreshments, you should allow for this.

Tips are the accepted way of saying ‘thank you’ to your local guides and porters. Tips do not form part of the wages of local staff but are seen as a personal thank you from group members. KE always pays local crews the best rates of pay, no matter what country they are in. For our part, we advise local teams that tips are not a duty or a prerequisite but are a bonus and entirely dependent on the service that was given. For your trek crews we recommend that you give a tip if you feel that their services have met your satisfaction. We recommend that tips be given from the group as a whole rather than individually and as a rough guide we suggest a contribution of £70 from each group member should provide an adequate 'pool' for tipping your crew.

During the trip your baggage will be carried by bus and by 4WD vehicles. The only baggage limit is that which is imposed by your airline. However, Jordan is a hot country and you will not require any heavy clothing, nor are you required to bring a camping mattress. Travelling light will also make transiting airports a much more pleasant experience for you.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check for the latest advice before travel. For the most up to date information on entry requirements, please visit the UK Government website.

Visa Jordan

If you are a UK, Canada, USA or Australia passport holder, travelling on a KE organised itinerary (inc pre or post tour extensions), you may now be eligible to receive a free visa upon entering Jordan.  Please look for a representative with a KE sign between the arrival gate and before the immigration desks and they will accompany you to arrange the free visa and passport stamp. The free visa is reliant on us receiving your passport and flight details prior to travel and to you meeting with the KE representative before heading to immigration to join the single timed transfer.  If you have not given us these details or if you do not meet with the representative for the single timed transfer you will have to purchase an individual visa for 40JD. Please ask for further details.

If you are arranging your own pre or post trip accommodation/excursions or transfers we will be unable to arrange a free visa for you and you will need to purchase an individual visa on arrival for 40JD

Other nationalities are included in the free visa scheme, please check with your individual embassy.

If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

VACCINATIONS

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.

The unit of currency in Jordan is the Jordanian Dinar.

It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking holiday, getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. For this trip you need to be aerobically fit and comfortable with walking up to 5 or 6 hours each day for several days continuously. There are some easy scrambling sections during this trip and although these not difficult or dangerous you should be coomfortable also with a degree of exposure. We would suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime leading up to departure. Regular walking in hill or back country is the best preparation but if this is not possible, regular exercise with your preferred sport or pastime such as jogging, squash and swimming, will develop better fitness and stamina. Before departure, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country.

The best period for trekking in Jordan is in the late autumn through to early spring season, from October through to mid April. Outside of this period it can be very hot, with temperatures, rising to 40°C in July and August. In October and in April, the maximum daytime temperature is likely to be in the high twenties or low thirties °C, falling as low as 10°C at night. Heading into November the temperatures begin to cool and by December/January, typical daytime maximum temperatures are around 12 - 15 °C falling as low as 5°C at night. In December and January it can even snow in Amman.

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware’ campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe.  Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation.  We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground.  If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

For appropriate insurance cover we recommend Campbell Irvine Direct.  Please go to our Travel Insurance page for further information and to get a quote.

Aqaba on the Red Sea, with its warm temperatures, is the perfect place for some relaxation after your adventure holiday. It is said that some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world can be found in here. The lack of strong currents, together with the warm sea temperature, creates perfect conditions for coral growth and this has resulted in fabulous underwater life. You can also swim with sea turtles and dolphins amongst schools of multi-coloured fish or take a glass-bottomed boat ride over the reefs. There is also, of course, the option to simply relax in the sun on the sandy beaches.

 

Depending on your preferred airline, it may be possible to fly from Aqaba. Please ask for further details.

Dana to Petra Trek ★★★★★

Well planned holiday. All staff wonderful and very welcoming and enthusiastic. Murad made the holiday a very enjoyable and adventurous experience whilst giving us lots of information about the environment and country. Made every member of the group feel cared for.

By Paul from Macclesfield | 26 April 2024

An incredible experience ★★★★★

Everything went very smoothly. It was fun and exciting and I felt safe and taken care of the whole time. This was such an incredible experience. The physical challenge, the beauty, the history, the wonderful food and even more wonderful and warm people of Jordan -- I couldn't imagine a better trekking holiday. Even roughing it at the camp grounds was fun, though the toilet situation was definitely a new one for me haha. Very grateful I took this trip with KE.

Murad was such a wonderful guide. He was so so knowledgeable, patient, funny, helpful. I can't imagine doing this trek with anyone else. He made this an unforgettable experience, and it was clear he cares deeply for Jordan, for the environment, and for people.

Wonderful trekking through the Jordan mountains ending in Petra ★★★★★

Another fantastic KE trip up to their usual high standards - great guide, trekking and group. Arriving in Petra at the end of the week was pretty spectacular and amazing to see. We generally walked from 7:30/8am to 3/3:30pm and with a good amount of stops including an hour for lunch. A couple of flat days and the remaining quite mountainous. Food was out of this world - not only tasting amazing, but presentation was great and all from a tent and a camping gas stove. Mohammed should be on MasterC hef!!! Tents were all fine. Mattress was "OK" but worth considering taking an additional mat to sleep on We had the complete range of weather conditions, from high 20s to close to freezing so definitely worth taking a full range of gear

Superb hiking trip with great variety of scenery ★★★★★

This is a fantastic trip. The hiking is not too challenging, but the scenery was very different each and every day. The food was superb - lots of fresh produce, and the guide and support crew both excellent. Arriving at Petra is a great reward for the hike. I combined this with the Wadi Rum extension after being persuaded to do so by a friend, and I'm really glad I did. This extension was also phenomenal.

Dana to Petra Trek
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Well planned holiday. All staff wonderful and very welcoming and enthusiastic. Murad made the holiday a very enjoyable and adventurous experience whilst giving us lots of information about the environment and country. Made every member of the group feel cared for.

An incredible experience
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Everything went very smoothly. It was fun and exciting and I felt safe and taken care of the whole time. This was such an incredible experience. The physical challenge, the beauty, the history, the wonderful food and even more wonderful and warm people of Jordan -- I couldn't imagine a better trekking holiday. Even roughing it at the camp grounds was fun, though the toilet situation was definitely a new one for me haha. Very grateful I took this trip with KE.

Murad was such a wonderful guide. He was so so knowledgeable, patient, funny, helpful. I can't imagine doing this trek with anyone else. He made this an unforgettable experience, and it was clear he cares deeply for Jordan, for the environment, and for people.

Dana to Petra exceeded expectations.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The Dana to Petra trek is, rightfully, a well-regarded classic and one of the foremost trails of the Middle East region. The KE grading of the trek; (a fairly easy 5), is accurate as there is no significant altitude involved here and no day where the distance covered exceeds 8 - 10 miles, or where large elevation gains of more than 800 - 1000 Meters were made. The group support, especially the hot food prepared in the evenings, was universally excellent and actually the best that I have ever enc ountered - really tasty, authentic to the regional cuisine and very plentiful. Murad, the lead guide, was outstanding. He was highly knowledgable about the history of the region and the many archeological sites along the way as well as professional, faultlessly generous and very, very funny. The facilities provided; tents, loo tent and mess tent etc, were overall of a decent standard - although, the zips on the tents could be problematical due to the dusty environment. But this was however only a minor complaint and an easy fix. The trek itself greatly exceeded all expectations with truly awe-inspiring scenery and views. The various canyons that we encountered along the course of the trek were spectacularly beautiful, with Petra itself rightly deserving of its place as one of the new ' Seven Wonders of the World'. Amazing !!! I would really recommend anyone taking this trip to pack warm clothing for the surprisingly cold evenings in the desert, preferably a good mid-weight down jacket and plenty of layers. Some of our group did not and really regretted it every day when the sun went down. 5/5

A great walk through the desert in a historic land
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This trip is for those of you who (a) like to walk through the hills and canyons of the Middle Eastern desert and (b) enjoy a trip through the history of the region. Jordan has a lot of history and you will see a lot of it here, in Madaba, in the desert, in Petra, and in Jerash (if you take the extension like I did). I did this trip in April, when the weather is very sunny and warm during the day, and quite cool at night. The walking is not too strenuous, but the days are quite long (about 15km per day) and there are a few days of ascent and descent. The fact that it is at low altitude makes it much easier. The scenery is quite wonderful, with plenty of canyons and wadis and great views of the desert from the higher points along the trek. The sandstone rock has been exposed to hydrological erosion and forms lots of interesting formations. Petra itself is quite large, covering a distance of several kilometres in the canyons. You will spend most of the last day of the hike travelling from the monastery at one end to the treasury at the other. Pay close attention to the guide as the history of Petra is very interesting, spanning the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and the Ummayad periods. This itinerary doesn't have the usual buffer day or two at the start and end of the hike that you can use to see some of the local sites. I recommend coming down a day or two earlier to see Amman and Madaba, which are interesting and historic places in their own right, and I also recommend doing one of the extensions at the end. I did the Jerash extension and the Roman ruins there are quite impressive. Getting around on your own in Jordan is pretty easy - many people in the tourist areas speak English and Uber is a great way to get around. I also recommend getting a local SIM card at the airport (Orange or Zain) so that you aren't dependent on hotel WiFi which can be flaky.

Fantastic
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Firstly I would like to Thank Murad, our guide for the trek. He had plenty of knowledge on Jordan and more than enough for our trip. Day 3 and 4 are a little challenging but well worth it. Little Petra and Petra :) Just unbelievable. Save your strength for the high veiwpoint in Petra, it is quite a climb (steps) but two veiws you will never forget. The catering during the trip was good (in fact the best I have ever had on a trek). I would give Jordan, our guide, and support team, 11out of 10 (in c Mazoo our little Donkey who carried our water) :) Great Trip Thanks

Excellent Guiding and Logistics have Room for Improvements
★ ★ ★ ★
While modern transportation makes it possible to do Petra sightseeing as short as a day trip from Amman, this multi-day trek puts the elements of effort, hardship, adventure, and a sense of accomplishment back to a journey of discovery, making the experience more rewarding and memories more enduring. Our trek leader (Murad) has a passion for guiding and a deep love of Jordan trails, and his extensive knowledge of Jordan’s history, culture, and Bedouin’s way of life further enhanced the trekk ing experience. He is one of the top guides we’ve seen in our 9 trips organized by KE. The Wadi Rum extension added a different dimension, a great way to wrap up the walking holiday. While the desert is similar to others such as the Sahara, its red sand dunes and reddish landscape are unique in that they are inter-mixed with rocky hills, natural bridges, and sandstone formations shaped by desert winds and erosions. It is home to several tribes of Bedouin who have evolved from hunting & gathering to eco-tourism, building and maintaining fixed tents with showers and electricity for a luxury desert experience. Yet camels still roam free here, and desert sunset remains spectacular. Knowing every inch of his tribe’s land by heart, our guide (Salameh) was passionate to show us what the Wadi Rum desert has to offer. While the guiding part was a solid 5-star, some of the logistic aspects have room for improvements. (1) The afternoon tea was great, yet it would be better if biscuits are also served along with tea after a long walk of 18km. After all, all the supplies and gears were hauled by 4x4 SUVs/trucks so carrying a few boxes of biscuits shouldn’t be an issue. (2) The tents provided to 2 people were not really 3-person tents, which means it was difficult or impossible to put a KE travel bag along each side of the tent at the same time so that the two sharing the tent can easily access their own bags. In addition, the zips could get jammed easily in a dusty/windy environment so it’s important to clean/wax the zips before the trek, and inspect/replace them as needed. (3) The KE trek package includes the “Jordan Pass” or its equivalent, which qualifies for Jordan Visa fee waiver (40JD per person). Through the local travel agent, KE supports the fee waiver only if one arrives at Amman’s international airport around midnight of Day 1 (UK flight arrival time). For clients arriving earlier, KE does not request the local travel agent to arrange the fee waiver, unless one books both pre-trekking night(s) at the group hotel in Madaba and a private transfer to Madaba through KE, which won’t work if one wants to stay in Amman for the pre-trekking night(s). KE can improve its value-add and clients’ end-to-end experience by supporting the fee waiver for these clients as a service not a sale.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. We are pleased you had such a great time in this amazing country. The KE package does not include a Jordan Pass (entry fees to the sites listed on the itinerary are included in the price of your trip). We are able to take advantage of a visa fee waiver scheme provided specifically for groups arriving in Jordan. To qualify for this scheme, all members of the group have to arrive and depart on the same day. The rules for the scheme are set by the Jordan Tourism Board.

Fantastic Nabatean Adventure!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Super adventure. A really well thought out trip building up to visiting Little Petra and Petra. Our guide Murad was one of the best I've ever walked with, very informative. Over the course of the 6 days he provided a wealth of information about the long varied history of the region. Our support crew also provided a good home cooked meal every night with a lots of fresh vegetables, also probably the best food I've had. Also, they had brand new tents. Murad started with a description of the terrain, rocky. That about sums it up, so the miles seemed a little longer. The weather (late March) was cool mornings turning into warm/hot afternoons. A couple chilly night in tents. I would suggest arriving a day early to explore Madaba, Mosaic City. It has several small archaeological sites that are easy and inexpensive to visit. 1,600 year old mosaics. The other reason is the scheduled flight arrives at midnight so u really do not have a 'night' at the start before leaving for the start of the trek. Overall it was a super adventure.

Challenging and stunning
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
If you are looking to combine challenging trekking, high passes, varied scenery and an immersion in Jordan’s past present and future, then this for you. On a par with EBC and The Balkans. Like all KE trips it is great for couples, friends, singles and all ages. As long as you have decent hiking fitness, a willingness to mix in with new people and a desire to learn then this is for you. Just don’t be too precious about washing or the toileting arrangements! Happy to be contacted about any asp ect of the trip.

Everything you could want from a trek.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This trek has everything you would want, just the right amount of days and nights, plenty of history, landscapes that will dazzle you, a great support team that will prepare your camp for you daily and provide you with great food and you get to finish in Petra which is the ultimate prize. I would say to anyone looking at doing their first trek this is ideal and to those who are more familiar with trekking you won’t be disappointed, in fact you will likely leave feeling very spoilt. I think the trek difficulty level of 5 is very fair, it’s got enough to test you but won’t be the hardest daily walk you will have to do by comparison to other treks. My only tip would be to pack enough gear in your hand luggage to get you through the first two days in case your luggage goes missing. It’s something I used to do religiously and typically the first time I didn’t do it my bag went missing. KE did a great job chasing it down and we got by but it’s not a great position to be in. We were asked if there was anything that could be done to improve the trek and honestly we struggled to come up with anything constructive. A great trip and highly recommended.

A great experience
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A first class guide in Murad Arslan who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and good company. Nothing was a problem to him, and he could not have been more helpful. The other crew members, Atallah, Mohammed, Momem and Salam were great too. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. I found the first couple of days pretty tough due to the temperature, and there was no need for a -5° sleeping bag at night, but once we got up into the hills it was easier. The actual trekking was fine, although there were a couple of short steep sections. Awah the donkey was always there although nobody needed him, and it was possible to miss a whole day and meet up again that night if you felt a stretch was too difficult. Highly recommend this trip.

Amazing Trek
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
There is a reason why this trek has been nominated as one of the best routes in the world to hike. Incredibly varied landscape and terrain mean there is something amazing around every corner. It was a privilege to be able to hike the route with such a lovely group of people and with such an outstanding guide. Abed is incredibly knowledgeable and told us so much about the route and everything we saw. He was very skilled at managing the whole group, making sure everyone felt included and was able to cope. He was prepared for anything and gave us great confidence. The organisation was all very good and the support team were also excellent – we were very well looked after and enjoyed delicious meals throughout. The tents are small (I would recommend choosing single occupancy as there is not a lot of space for bags) but they are comfortable and supplied with mattresses, and even a pillow! (You really do not need a supplementary mattress). Toilet and washing facilities are basic but adequate. Walking poles are highly recommended as terrain is very varied and can involve loose surfaces. Jordan is a great country to visit, you will always feel welcome, and this trek has got to be one of the highlights of a visit. A huge thank you to everyone who made our holiday so special.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Petra is rightfully a 7 World Wonder but has really changed. It is a crazy environment with tourists, horse and carts, camels, horses and donkeys competing for space around the site. Petra is huge and best taken in small chunks over a few days.

By Claire from Ventnor | 24 April 2019
harder than expected
★ ★ ★ ★
I think the KE difficulty rating for this holiday was optimistic - I should put it a couple of notches higher as there was some quite difficult terrain. It was a shame that there were only stools to sit on in the tents, so no backrests for a week. OK if you're twenty, but not at the other end of the age range. Some director's style chairs would have been as easy to transport and would have made a big difference to the comfort factor. Big disappointment was the final hotel at the end of the trek - unlike other hotels in Wadi Musa this was a DRY hotel, just what we didn't need after a week's trek!

A great trek through some beautiful scenery with a stunning last day in Petra
★ ★ ★ ★
Jordan is a welcoming country with some beautiful and varied landscapes. The Dana to Petra trek travels through rocky moonscapes, spectacular mountain passes and gorges and fertile valleys. We encountered few other tourists until we reached Little Petra and Petra, but passed by several Bedoin camps from which curious children emerged to watch us or sometimes young men to practise their English. We didn't get quite so much hot, sunny weather as we expected, apparently Jordan has just experie nced the coldest, wettest spring for 50 years and we lay in our beds on the first night in camp experiencing crashing thunder, flashes of lightening and torrential rain, wondering whether the tents would stand up to it all. They did and we all emerged the following morning saying how much we had enjoyed the storm!! The final day in Petra is awe-inspiring and when your guide has finished taking you through all the main buildings I highly recommend making the effort to climb up through the gorge to the High Place of Sacrifice for a stunning view over the whole site and returning via Wadi al Farasa for another amazing descent through much more archeology.

An excellent week's walk in Jordan
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Our trek was led by a very friendly and knowledgeable guide Murad. The support team were very efficient in setting up camp and the meals provided by out cook Mohammed were excellent. The walking was taken at a steady pace with plenty of opportunity to soak in the magnificent scenery and take photos. The highlight of the trek was the visit to Petra, a magnificent end to the holiday. I thoroughly recommend this trip. The only problem we had on the trek was a bad forecast for the first day which me ant we may not have been able to walk that day. The tourist police can stop any trekking if the weather forecast is bad. This is due to a number of people who were killed by flash floods in Jordan last year. Fortunately, we were lucky and were able to start the walk, but it is possible a day's trekking may be lost due to bad weather.

amazing trek
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Our guide Murat was first-class. He was very well-informed, funny, caring, alert to everyone's needs but perhaps best of all really meant it when he welcomed us into our new family and said we should consider Jordan our second home. Somehow he managed to make all 16 of us feel happy, as well as his 4 helpers and Happy the donkey. We all got on and all felt this was such a brilliant trip...'Best ever'. The scenery was jaw-dropping, the food lovely, the organisation superb etc etc. Just remember to heed Murat when he warns you of slippy slopes at the beginning.

Beautiful mountains
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This is a great trip. The KE staff look after you really well and the camp is very comfortable. The mattresses are very thick so no need for the thermarest on the optional list! The food was very good. The first two trek days are ok, one downhill on a track and then one completely flat across stony desert. But when you start to climb into the mountains, that's when the amazing sandstone rock formations appear and you are camping right in the heart of them. The approach to Petra on the last day on wide rock ledges on the cliffside was superb.

Beautiful scenery, spend some extra time before and after.
★ ★ ★ ★
When combined with the Wadi Rum extension and a little time before in Amman this makes a pretty comprehensive Jordan holiday. I spent a couple days in Amman before since the itinerary didn't include that and found that it was worth it. Arriving in Madaba to explore that area before the main group arrived was also a bonus. The Wadi Rum extension was fantastic and floating in the dead sea was a fantastic experience. As far as the walking goes the days were a little longer than I expected but manageable. Some walking up rocky dry river beds can be challenging on the ankles! There are a few spots that require careful steps due to exposure but noting serious. Overall a good holiday, I went in early March but if I were to do it again I might choose late march or early April as some of the nights were too cold to sleep outside or enjoy sitting around the campfire!
