Day 1 : Arrival day - Airport, Amman
Meeting at the airport and assistance for visa formalities, customs... Transfer to Amman, check in at your hotel, dinner and overnight.

Day 2 : Amman / Wadi Zarqa Ma’in / Dana Hotel
Early start for a walking day. After your breakfast in Amman, transfer to Wadi Zarqa Ma’in, supposed to be the “Valley of God” or "Nahaliel" as mentioned in the Bible. There is a magnificent gorge nestling ancient tombs. Then, a steep and difficult path leads to the hot springs of Callirhoe. In this valley, we will have easy walk, and the last 4 Km will be trekking to Ma’in Spa, where 4WD will be waiting us to transfer, via Dead Sea ( float in Dead Sea for 45 minutes), to Dana Hotel: budget and luxury built by Bedouins in Bedouin style, and located in a 400 year-old village. Dinner and overnight stay.

(Total for hiking : 4 hours, mainly easy).

Day 3 : Wadi Dana / Feynan / Wadi Ghweir
We start very early for easy walk (7 hours) from Dana village to Dana Natural Reserve in Wadi Dana: the reserve is a system of valleys, canyons and mountains that extends from the upper edge of the Rift Valley down to the desert lowlands of Wadi Araba. Dana is truly a world of natural treasures, where we will be meeting some Bedouins and have tea at their tents, and will keep walking to Wadi Feynan, the beginning of Araba desert, where our 4WD will meet us and transfer to Wadi Ghweir, to make our campsite near waterfalls, and between a wonderful cliff surrounding the Ghweir area. Overnight camping.

Day 4 : Wadi Ghweir / Wadi Araba / Wadi Namala / Petra
After breakfast at our campsite in Wadi Ghweir, we drive by our Jeep via Wadi Araba Desert (45 minutes) to meet up with an off-road to be climbed up by Jeep via Wadi Namala, the only way from Wadi Araba to Little Petra (1 hour ): we will drive to the top of Beida Mountains, enjoying magic views. As soon as we get to Petra, check in at your hotel in Wadi Musa, and free time (visit the city, shopping, souvenir market...). Dinner and overnight.

Day 5 : Petra
After breakfast, our tour guide will lead you to the main sites and monuments of Petra. Walking into Petra through its world-famous siq, that dramatic chasm splitting the mountains, provides what must be the most remarkable entrance to any city. It is a unique and unforgettable experience. Once you have become familiar with the main sites of the old city and the view from the High Place of Sacrifice, you may wish to spend more days in this beautiful part of Jordan, and look a little further into the quieter, less frequented parts of Petra... In the evening, transfer via King’s highway to Wadi Rum, at the visitor center of the protected area. A jeep will meet us to transfer you to the Bedouin campsite in the middle of the desert in the sunset site, and we will have underground BBQ, with Bedouin singers (oud and drum). Overnight (all supplies and equipment are available at the campsite).

Day 6 : Wadi Rum
After breakfast, we will walk through the desert of Wadi Rum, one of the world’s most colorful and unique landscapes of desert and mountain scenery, long inhabited by man. Rock carvings mark the passage of ancient tribes in prehistory. Thamudic inscriptions, burial mounds, ancient megaliths, and ruined buildings abound, as well as Nabatean rock carved stairways, dams, and temples, still to be found throughout the area. Wadi Rum is also called "The Moon valley", because it is similar to the surface of the moon, between the wonderful colored cliffs. In the evening, transfer to Amman via the desert highway, to check in again at your hotel in Amman.

Day 7 : Amman / Airport
Transfer to your airport for departure.​
