Although this is a non-technical trek, one section will require good balance and a head for heights. The trek is five days from point to point and is low altitude. Throughout the trip, local Bedouin will accompany you and you will be camping as they do, under the stars. Definitely a romantic highlight! The trip will finish with a day visit to the ancient rock city of Petra.
