Dana Trek to Petra reviews
Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
Probably the best trek we have done. Beautiful scenery, excellent food, great walking, wonderful team - we felt very well looked over.
The Dana Trek to Petra was a proper Jordan adventure. Our guide, who was a Bedouin himself, did everything he could to make us embrace his culture and way of living. Every day was a new discovery of food and scenery, ending in Petra which was incredible.
I enjoyed the Mountain Kingdoms philosophy of using less crowded routes and supporting local enterprise and culture.
Stunning! I can't imagine a better way to discover Petra; the trek through Dana Nature Reserve and camping under clear desert skies were a real pleasure. I would highly recommend entering Petra from the 'backdoor' - a great reward at the end of a beautiful trek. This trip was culturally rewarding from start to finish.
The trek was the ideal way to explore Jordan. We trekked through the beautiful Jordanian mountains and stayed in remote camps that were pitched for us each night in the best spots. Approaching Petra from the 'back door' meant avoiding all the crowds. Two other big highlights of the trip were the warm welcome that we received from the Jordanian people and the delicious food.
We had a really enjoyable time in Jordan and feel that we saw and experienced all of the stuff we wanted- and more. Experiencing the canyons, desert and wilderness of Jordan was undoubtedly spectacular.
