Top Hiking and Trekking Trails in Jordan
The Jordan Trail
The Jordan Trail is the country’s flagship long-distance hiking route, spanning over 650 kilometers from the northern border to the Red Sea in Aqaba. This iconic trail takes you through Jordan’s most beautiful and diverse landscapes, including lush valleys, deserts, and ancient archaeological sites. Hike through the majestic Wadi Rum, climb up to the summit of Jebel Umm ad Dami (Jordan’s highest peak), and explore the archaeological wonders of Petra. The Jordan Trail is truly a journey through time, culture, and nature.
Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, offers some of the most dramatic landscapes for trekking in Jordan. With towering sandstone mountains, narrow canyons, and vast sand dunes, this UNESCO World Heritage Site provides endless adventure for hikers. Our expert guides will take you on desert treks, leading you through hidden valleys and unique rock formations. Whether you choose a short hike or a multi-day trek, Wadi Rum promises an unforgettable experience.
Petra and Little Petra
Hiking to Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is a must-do for any adventurer visiting Jordan. For a truly unique experience, we recommend hiking through the less-visited Little Petra, which offers an enchanting glimpse of the ancient Nabatean city in a quieter, more serene setting. Once you reach Petra’s iconic Treasury, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a world frozen in time.
Dana Biosphere Reserve
For those seeking a combination of nature, wildlife, and culture, the Dana Biosphere Reserve is a fantastic hiking destination. This vast reserve spans across three distinct ecosystems and offers a variety of trails that showcase Jordan’s unique flora and fauna. Whether you're trekking through the arid deserts or exploring lush valleys, Dana offers an authentic adventure through Jordan’s natural beauty.
