5-Day Trek from Dana Village to Petra via Little Petra

• Your guide will welcome you to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Enjoy your private 2-hour transfer to your hotel in Dana Village, check in, and spend the remainder of the day at leisure.

Overnight at a 3-star hotel.

• After breakfast, we will start trekking down towards Wadi Malaga through diverse fauna and flora into Wadi Dana, surrounded by sandstone scenery. It is part of Jordan's largest nature reserve, which stretches from the Rift Valley to the lowlands of Wadi Araba.
• We'll pass through the area of Feynan, once the center of ancient copper mining. After crossing Feynan, we'll take a shuttle to Wadi Malaga, where we will set up our camp for the first night.

• This is a difficult part of the trail that lies ahead of you. We will continue hiking through the Wadi Malaga landscape along a flat and stony path, with Wadi Araba to the west and the Sharah mountains in front of you.
• Then, we will follow a steep old Bedouin trail into the mountains, offering stunning views of the Wadi Araba Desert. The path is known as the "Um Al Amad" path. After completing this challenging part of the route, we will continue to our camping spot in the area of "Ras Al Feid".

• Along shepherd trails, we will climb higher, surrounded by dark, rugged mountains. Continuing downhill, the landscape softens as we enter a pale-coloured sandstone area with interesting rock formations.
• After a while, we'll recognize signs of increasing human habitation, such as Bedouin camps and flocks of sheep. The path takes us to a saddle with great views of Wadi Araba.
• Then, we will continue towards Little Petra. Enter Siq Al Barid, a narrow passage, to see tombs, monuments, cisterns, and water channels. It is believed that Little Petra had been a caravansary.
• Afterwards, we'll spend the night at a Bedouin camp.

• This day, we'll head to Petra via "The Back Door". Good tracks lead pleasantly down Wadi Ghurab amidst sandstone mountains guarding the approaches to Petra. This route follows a Nabataean path out of the valley and skirts around the final mountain on a natural rock terrace, which has been "improved" by the PAP for the safety of walkers. Even so, it still narrows slightly before reaching a hidden plateau high above the impressive chasm of Wadi Siyyagh. Just beyond, carved into the cliff face, "The Monastery" suddenly comes into view. (Bedouin café).
• Then, we will go down into ancient Petra, through which the route passes before exiting past "The Treasury" and through the famous "Petra Siq" to the shops, cafés, and hotels of Wadi Musa.
• Later, we will transfer to the airport to conclude the tour.
