About this activity
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive at Amman Airport
Stop At: Al Balad – Downtown Amman, Amman Jordan
Arrive at Amman Airport, where we will meet you, assist with immigration and then transfer to your hotel in Amman. Amman is one of the oldest cities in the world, inhabited since the bronze age. The city is growing into a modern city, but retains its character and history.
Duration: 4 hours
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: Overnight at a hotel in Amman.
Day 2: Amman - Canyon Hike - Dana Village
Stop At: Wadi al hidan, Madaba Jordan
After an early breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel’s lobby and drive south to the starting point of our hike near Madaba.
The dramatic Wadi Hidan canyon features a beautiful wild mountain scenery, rugged basaltic stone, narrow gorges, fresh natural pools, and a surprising amount of vegetation. There are some tricky rock steps which require the use of hands and feet. Besides that, you will need to swim in some parts, and are allowed to jump or slide into the water in others. Therefore expect to get completely wet (completely meaning head to toe – you will need a dry bag for any personal items). Make also sure you wear shoes and clothes you are happy to get wet in. We recommend tough trainers.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Dana Nature Reserve, Dana Jordan
After exploring the wadi we will continue on to Dana Village, for an evening to relax and enjoy the scenic views over the Dana Biosphere Reserve. If there is time, your guide will also take you for a short sunset tour around the historic village.

Lunch boxes will be provided on our way by a local family from Petra. Close to the end of the ride enjoy a visit to Little Petra.

Lunch will be provided by a local Bedouin family on our way.
Upon arrival to Wadi Rum change your bike for another, more ‘desert-proof’ means of transport. The late afternoon light is perfect to sway on camel back through the magic desert landscape, and eventually settle on top of a sand dune to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Later, we will take you by jeep to your camp, where you can enjoy a delicious dinner and the general hospitality of the local Bedouins.
