The story

Dana to Petra Hiking Festival in Dana to Petra

NON EVENT: Dana to Petra is an award-winning 80-kilometer, five-day trekking route along the Jordan Trail rather than a scheduled cultural festival. It descends from the Dana Biosphere Reserve through Wadi Dana to Petra's back entrance near the Monastery, and while the Jordan Trail Association organizes annual guided thru-hikes along sections of the broader trail, the Dana to Petra stretch itself is a hiking itinerary, not a dated festival with its own program.

NON EVENT: the Dana to Petra route is best understood as a trekking itinerary rather than a scheduled festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What draws hikers to this stretch is the trail itself: constantly shifting terrain from mountaintops to hidden canyons, ancient Bedouin paths, and the striking experience of arriving at Petra through its back door via the Monastery rather than the main Siq entrance

02

The mystery stays covered

Because no fixed festival programming exists here, prospective visitors should look instead at the Jordan Trail Association's guided group thru-hikes or private trekking operators for a structured, supported version of the walk, particularly given the difficulty of route-finding and the real risk of flash flooding in the wadis
