Walking Holidays in the Middle East

We have secured the most experienced local partners, the most suitable accommodation and the best leaders for all our walking holidays in the Middle East. The region is renowned for its rich history, ancient civilisations and unique landscapes. Among its numerous treasures, Jordan stands out as a must-visit destination for Middle East walking holidays.

With its diverse terrain and surreal landscapes, Jordan is home to many of the most awesome sites in the Middle East. A holiday in Jordan wouldn’t be complete without visiting Petra, an awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the “Rose City,” it’s a treasure trove of ancient architectural wonders carved into rose-coloured sandstone cliffs where you can immerse yourself in history as you explore the Monastery, the Royal Tombs and the Roman Theatre.

Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a desert landscape like no other. Renowned for its striking red sand dunes and towering mountains, this vast wilderness is a fabulous destination on walking holidays in the Middle East. Traverse through Siq el Barrah, a narrow and secret path that leads you through sandstone canyons, revealing ancient inscriptions and unusual rock formations.

Experience the serenity of the desert as you trek past iconic landmarks like the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and witness mesmerising sunsets when you sleep under a star-studded sky in a Bedouin camp. You can also trek to Jebel Burdah for rewarding views at its summit or explore Little Petra, where you’ll discover intricate carvings and ancient dwellings inside the sandstone canyons.

Just finished 1 week of hiking tour. We stayed in Chamonix in a very nice Chalet. Loved the town.Beautiful and convenient. Enjoyed taking the trains to the trailheads. The hikes for this tour is much harder than the other Level 3 hike we’ve done with Exodus. Most hikes here are 2500 feet elevations to close to 3000 feet elevations daily. Most about 7-8 miles. Some chains, ladders. But our guide Egle was great and able to give us continued support and encouragement. The views at the top was worth every sweat. It is indeed a beautiful place. We enjoyed the hikes, the company.

A wonderful experience with a kind, respectful and experienced hiker and guide. Enough varied terrain and experiences. One hotel was problematic with the shower, but other participants didn’t have this problem. The last hotel was the best with more comfort and amazing breakfasts….a treat worth working for by the end of the trip.

What an amazing week we have had in the French Alps! It was the first time we have travelled with Exodus and would certainly travel with them again. So well organised from start to finish, from the information given beforehand, the pick ups, accommodation, hospitality, food and hikes. All amazing! The quality of food produced by Carolina and Seb was top class.
Our guide Adrian was so kind, funny and knowledgeable of this area he made hiking so enjoyable.
