Then draw a route through more than 10,000 years of history, covering Neolithic ruins, Biblical sites, one of the
New 7 Wonders of the World, and russet landscapes that wouldn't look out of place on Mars.
That's the
Jordan Trail, and only a slice of it.
The 650-kilometer trail takes about 40 days to complete, starting at the northern tip of Jordan in the city of Umm Qais and ending in Aqaba in the south, where hikers meet the country's only coastline.
Jordan is more than just desert, and the cross-section of the nation that the Jordan Trail cuts through is a tour de force in diversity.
