Camp beneath the desert starsOur very special trekking adventure across the deserts and mountains of Jordan to the truly magnificent site of ancient, iconic Petra is unique in many ways. As you walk through the dramatic gorges and canyons of the Dana Mountains on trails best known only to the nomadic Bedouin, it's highly unlikely you'll encounter any other trekkers. A painstaking amount of time was spent with the Bedouin in researching and creating this most special and unique route to Petra. With the intelligent use of 4WD drive vehicles, wonderful nights spent camping in wild tranquillity beneath the stars can be fully supported and in true Bedouin style along with local cooks providing amazing food in splendid isolation. Waking each morning to the aroma of freshly cooked bread at camp is almost worth it alone! You'll be trekking through the most exciting and rugged landscapes in Jordan starting in the famous Dana Nature Reserve and crossing the classic rocky 'hamada' desert to climb into the spectacular mountains and escarpments above the Great Rift Valley. Spectacular trails lead through Wadis and along rocky ledges to emerge at the "back door" of Petra itself. After exploring the 'rose-red' city of Petra, it's time to explore some breathtaking desert scenery at Wadi Rum, renowned for its arched rock bridges, dunes, canyons and beautiful sunsets. A perfect climax to a superb voyage of discovery through the dramatic landscapes of the Bedouin. It's no surprise that this adventure is fast becoming known as "The Inca Trail of the Middle East", yet with our very special route to Petra you'll certainly feel "off the beaten track".Dates and prices:28 Mar 11 - 06 Apr 11 (Guaranteed departure - Only a few spaces left!)14 Oct 11 - 23 Oct 1124 Oct 11 - 02 Nov 1116 Mar 12 - 25 Mar 1226 Mar 12 - 04 Apr 12.
