My journey will begin exploring Amman and the surrounding areas, including Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea. Then, from Dhana, I will spend five days trekking through stunning valleys and rugged mountain scenery. Following the same path used by the Bedouin nomads, I will explore unexcavated Roman ruins of Nabatean civilizations and fascinating Iron Age sites.

After trekking a total of 77km along the Jordan Rift Valley, my destination will be the ancient red city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of The World! Here I will see the awe-inspiring sites of The Monastery and The Treasury.

As a scholar of religion this trek is important to me in raising awareness of the wonderful links between different faiths. I will try and share as much of this adventure with you as I will publish photographs, videos and blog posts along the way whenever I can!
