Hiking the Jordan Trail

The Jordan Trail: the long-distance route from Um Qais to Aqaba, its sections and highlights.

The Jordan Trail is a 650-kilometre long-distance path running from Umm Qais in the north to Aqaba in the south, crossing villages, canyons, farmland and desert. Sections can be walked independently or as guided multi-day treks.

Highlights include Dana to Petra and the dramatic Wadi Rum stage. Good footwear matters. Hikers who hire car & driver in Jordan often shuttle between trailheads, and full package tours to Jordan can include a signature trail day.
