Trek
Jordan Trail, Jordon
View Original Description
The Jordan Trail embodies the essence of the Jordanian outdoors. It flows alongside the Great Rift Valley, overlooking rugged wadis and cliffs, and breathtaking scenery and archaeological monuments portray the layers of Jordan’s rich history, heritage, and religious relevance. After a four-year effort by Jordan’s Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, the length of the country is now con­nected by a 404-mile (650 kilometers) network of footpaths. Explore theeight regions along the trail and start mapping out your own adventure.
If you don’t have 36 days, the trail’s eight regional sections make it easy to tackle in shorter chunks. One example being the high-­elevation desert route that runs for 69 miles between the legendary ruins of Petra and Wadi Rum.
