Deserts that stretch to the horizon, rolling hills covered in forests of gnarled trees and carpeted in wild flowers, narrow towering canyons of raspberry-ripple rock with babbling streams running thorough; these are just some of the stunning scenes of Jordan.
Walking is a great way to see the best of this varied country. To see an Arcadian landscape of rural communities farming the same land that their families have for centuries then wander the Al Ayoun Trail.
Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and hike the majestic mountains of Wadi Rum, their stark and rugged heights giving sweeping views of ageless plains.
Visit a village of honey-coloured stone houses surrounded by lush terraced gardens perched on a precipice with spectacular views down into the Great Rift Valley. Away from the hamlet, Dana Reserve is a treasure trove of diverse flora and fauna. It encompasses four different ecological zones and there are guided walks through all of them.
Just three suggestions for a country where walking takes you closer to this beautiful land and people.
