Jordan Active Adventure
Jordan is famed for its ancient history, but its present-day adventures are just as epic. Get ready for eight days of non-stop excitement as you dive into the country's vibrant culture and jaw-dropping landscapes. From the hilltop views of Umm Qais overlooking the Jordan Valley and Sea of Galilee, to trekking through rocky villages near Aljoun and hiking the wild beauty of Dana Biosphere Reserve, Jordan is an adventurer’s hidden gem. Hike to Petra via a secret back trail, meet a local shepherd on his farm, and ride a 4x4 to a private camp under the stars in Wadi Rum. This trip promises heart-pounding, unforgettable thrills.
Highlights
Visit the Roman ruins of Jerash, Hike from Ajloun Castle to Mar Elias Church, Walk through the countryside between Umm Qais and Arab Dam, See Petra along the back door hike beginning with Little Petra
Accomodation
On this trip you can expect to stay in small local hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights.
Group Leader
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
