The Jordan Trail is a 675-kilometer long-distance hiking route that traverses the entire length of Jordan from Um Qais in the far north to Aqaba on the Red Sea in the south.

Spanning approximately 35 days of continuous hiking and passing through more than 75 villages and towns, the trail connects Jordan’s diverse landscapes, cultures, and histories into one unified journey. It is both a physical crossing of terrain and a passage through time.

From the rolling, wooded highlands of the north to the dramatic sandstone deserts of the south, the trail reveals the country’s extraordinary geographic diversity. Along the way, hikers traverse rugged wadis overlooking the Jordan Rift Valley, fertile agricultural plains, ancient caravan routes, Crusader strongholds, Nabataean cities carved in stone, and vast desert wilderness before descending to the crystal waters of the Red Sea.

Walking the Jordan Trail is not merely an outdoor adventure, it is a cultural immersion. The route invites hikers into local communities, offering opportunities to stay in family-run homestays, taste regional cuisines, and experience the hospitality for which Jordan is known. It is also a journey across millennia of human civilization, from prehistoric structures and Roman cities to Byzantine monasteries and Islamic heritage sites.
