Walking Holidays in the Middle East

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.
