Notes:
Bedouin Camps:
Rooming on a twin-share basis. So travelers booking together will share a room.

These are fixed-site, touristic Bedouin Camps, staffed by locals, in Little Petra and Wadi Rum. Bathrooms are normally off-suite, with a women’s and men’s public bathroom. The tents do not have A/C or heater, but the desert normally has cooler temperatures at night.

The main airport (QAIA – Queen Alia International Airport) is approximately 1-hour outside of Amman.

Arrival:
Day 1 is scheduled just for your arrival and check-in.

Therefore any flight arriving on Day 1, with enough time to arrive, make it to the hotel, and get some sleep, is a good choice.

If you would like to arrive a day or so early, that’s great! You can easily book an add-on for one extra night on either end of your tour. Let us know and we can book extra nights and/or additional activities. Or feel free to arrange things on your own and join the group when it’s time.

Departure:
Day 8 is scheduled just for your check-out and departure to the airport.

Therefore a morning / mid-day departure flight on Day 8 is ideal.

It is possible to have a departure flight on day 7. If you chose to do so, we recommend a flight that departs at least after 7 pm.

Departing on Day 7 makes things a bit more rushed and tiring. But this option may work well for people with relatively short flights, less time off, or if the airfare available just happens to be a better deal that day.

We are operating these trips during the best times of year to trek in Jordan.

Throughout the year, at the camps during the night you will want to have long pants, and a light jacket or sweatshirt.

During November, December, and February, you may also want warmer clothes like a bigger jacket, hats, gloves, and a light rain jacket.

We know we are located in the Middle East, but don’t worry – Jordan is not that hot. We don’t offer many departures in the Summer for that reason, but May has the potential to be on the warmer side. During the warmest times this trip operates, the temperature is usually not much over 35 celsius (95 Fahrenheit).

This is a challenging trip. The two cycling days are the most difficult part of the trip. Both cycling rides are about 50 kilometers or 30 miles long on dirt jeep tracks. See more in the “ride stats” section of their itinerary descriptions.

Other than the two cycling days, the trip includes moderate difficulty hiking with a little bit of scrambling.

Shoes
The ideal shoe for this hike is light-weight hiking shoes.

If you only have big-clunky hiking boots and running/athletic shoes, you could take both and see what you prefer on the hike.

Hiking Sticks/Poles
The vast majority of people do not use hiking sticks for this tour.

However, if you like hiking with Hiking sticks/poles, or want them just in case, feel free to bring them.

Bikes:
Our bikes are Scott Aspect 740 bikes. They are light hardtail mountain bikes, which are well suited for this tour’s mix of both on-road and non-technical off-road riding.

Pedals & Seats
The bikes have standard flat pedals and standard seats. If you would like, you can bring your own bike seat and pedals (including SPD’s). We will be fit your bike equipment for you.

Helmet
A helmet will be provided for you. Again, if you would like to bring your own, please do.

Here are some things you are not allowed to bring to Jordan:
1- Drones
2- Binoculars
3- Walkie Talkies
4- Satellite Phones

This active journey offers a relatively low-carbon way to experience Jordan, with several parts of the trip completed on foot or by bicycle, helping reduce reliance on vehicle transfers.

The itinerary supports local guides, drivers, accommodation providers, Bedouin camp teams and other local suppliers in the communities visited. Meals use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, while water-refilling stations are provided on most days to help reduce single-use plastic bottles.
