What to expect

Day 1: Wadi Musa to Wadi Araba
  1. The painted house - Little Petra
    3m
    The journey started from Wadi Musa town by car through Little Petra to Wadi Araba, taking travelers from the intimate sandstone corridors of Siq al-Barid, past carved façades and faded interior paintings, up onto open high desert plateaus once used by Nabataean caravans, where wide horizons, wind-sculpted rock, and ancient paths replace crowds and monuments, before the land gradually drops away into the vast, sun-bleached expanse of the Rift Valley, with acacia trees, gravel plains, and deep silence marking the arrival in Wadi Araba’s stark desert landscape—a route that feels less like sightseeing and more like following history into the wilderness.
Day 2: horse ride in wadi araba
  1. Wadi Araba Desert
    1 day
    A full-day horseback journey in Wadi Araba unfolds across wide gravel plains, soft sand, and quiet dry wadis marked by scattered acacia trees, following ancient caravan paths through the heart of the Rift Valley; the steady rhythm of the horses carries the day from cool morning light to warm afternoon hues, with pauses in shaded wadis for rest and tea, long open stretches for uninterrupted riding, and expansive desert silence that allows the landscape’s scale, colors, and timeless character to reveal themselves naturally by sunset.
Day 3: deep in wadi Araba
  1. Wadi Araba Desert
    1 day
    Route options in Wadi Araba range from deeper desert loops that wind through remote gravel plains and wide-open valleys, to a more relaxed route combining easy desert hikes and sand skating on gentle dunes, before settling into the camp at sunset
