Walking Holidays in the Middle East

We have secured the most experienced local partners, the most suitable accommodation and the best leaders for all our walking holidays in the Middle East. The region is renowned for its rich history, ancient civilisations and unique landscapes. Among its numerous treasures, Jordan stands out as a must-visit destination for Middle East walking holidays.

With its diverse terrain and surreal landscapes, Jordan is home to many of the most awesome sites in the Middle East. A holiday in Jordan wouldn’t be complete without visiting Petra, an awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the “Rose City,” it’s a treasure trove of ancient architectural wonders carved into rose-coloured sandstone cliffs where you can immerse yourself in history as you explore the Monastery, the Royal Tombs and the Roman Theatre.

Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a desert landscape like no other. Renowned for its striking red sand dunes and towering mountains, this vast wilderness is a fabulous destination on walking holidays in the Middle East. Traverse through Siq el Barrah, a narrow and secret path that leads you through sandstone canyons, revealing ancient inscriptions and unusual rock formations.

Experience the serenity of the desert as you trek past iconic landmarks like the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and witness mesmerising sunsets when you sleep under a star-studded sky in a Bedouin camp. You can also trek to Jebel Burdah for rewarding views at its summit or explore Little Petra, where you’ll discover intricate carvings and ancient dwellings inside the sandstone canyons.

This trip was fab, Cappadocia has an incredibly rare landscape that feels as if you are somewhere out of this world. The walks were varied and a lot greener than I thought they would have been, although you will have definitely seen Cappadocia in depth by the time you leave. You stay just outside of the main tourist town of Goreme which is nice because it’s away from the hustle and bustle. I travelled in the last week of May so had some warmer days and some wetter, cooler ones but on a whole we were very lucky with the weather.

In so many ways this trip was not stressful.
To be able to do so many wonderful things and not have any issues or concerns made a strenuous hiking holiday relaxing and enjoyable.
