Why this trip
For active travellers Amman is rarely the destination, but often the start: the capital of Jordan lies on several hills, and every sightseeing stop means steps and slopes. The Citadel with the Temple of Hercules sits high above the city, the Roman theatre below it, and anyone who links the two on foot collects a fair amount of ascent. The Royal Automobile Museum offers a quieter pause before the actual journey begins. Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba are the main neighbours, each with its own hiking routes, desert trails or diving sites.
Amman often serves to acclimatise, check the equipment and plan the first stage. For desert days it is advisable to sort your equipment here already: sun protection, headwear, water bottles and light clothing that covers shoulders and legs. If you do this in Amman, you start relaxed in the south and can concentrate on the route on the first hiking day. From March to May and from October to November the days are pleasant, in summer the heat becomes a problem.
You set your route in the video call, with a level of challenge that matches your fitness.
