What did you enjoy most about your trip?
“Scenery and the scrambling.”
Martin Plackett, Scrambles in Wadi Rum 2009“Balance of walking and scrambling with a good pace and fantastic scenery”
Helen Bailey, Scrambles in Wadi Rum 2009“Discovering Petra and all its unique treasures. The desert experience was out of this world! Magical scenery with fabulous colours. Enjoying tea in a Bedhouin tent. Warm starlit nights/a full moon/the triumphal camel departure to Rum…like Laurence of Arabia! Floating in the Dead Sea; seeing the wonderful coral around the Gulf of Aquaba.”
Jan and Patrick Denning, Wadi Rum & Petra 2008

Trekking in Jordan
Inspired by T.E. Lawrence, we first visited Wadi Rum in 1999 and have excellent local contacts there both with the Bedouin and a resident UIAGM guide.
Both our Jordan trips give you the opportunity to enjoy Bedouin hospitality amid the magnificent towering sandstone mountains of Wadi Rum. The trips either include, or offer an optional visit to the 'Rose Red City' of Petra, one of the world's great sights.
Details of our SELF HELP PETRA EXTENSION to the Scrambles in Wadi Rum trip are shown in the itinerary.
"The hills drew together until only two miles divided them: and then towering gradually till their parallel parapets must have been a thousand feet above us, ran forward in an avenue for miles. Our little caravan grew self conscious, and fell dead quiet, afraid and ashamed to flaunt its smallness in the presence of the stupendous hills."
