Day 1 : We start from the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, hiking up through Makharas Canyon to the valley of Um Ishrin. This should take about 3 hours and we shall have lunch on the way. In the afternoon, we continue to Barragh Canyon. We shall camp and sleep nearby. Day 2 : After breakfast, we shall walk up the canyon, which should take about 3 hours. After lunch, a hike in the easy sandy valley towards Jebel Burdah, where we will have supper and spend the night. Day 3 : In the morning, an easy scramble up to the Bridge on Jebel Burdah from where there are some magnificent views. Going up and down again will take about 3 1/2 hours. Back in the camp we will have lunch, and after a short rest, another 3 hour walk to the evening's camp from where we can watch the sunset.
Day 4 : an easy hike of about 5 hours to Jebel Khasch, near to the border of Saudi Arabia. More magnificent views can be had from the ridge along the top. Back down again, lunch and a rest, before setting out to walk through Wadi Nachra Canyon which is notable for its beautiful white sand. In the evening we camp near Jebel Abu Hamata. Day 5 : After breakfast we start off from Jebel Abu Hamata towards Rum village. The route takes us through a very narrow sandy valley, and some very different landscapes. On the way if possible, we shall visit a Bedouin family before stopping for lunch. After lunch a hike to Jebel Qatar and its dripping well and a return to the village in the afternoon. From the village you can take a bus or taxi to Aqaba or to Petra, or you can sleep in the village.
