The Six-Day Trek
The length of the country from the saddle: Madaba, the Rose City of Petra, then on horseback across the desert to Wadi Rum, and finally the still water of the Dead Sea.

Transfers, meals, riding and entrance fees
Across a country, slowly
Most visitors see Jordan through a windscreen. A horse takes you where no vehicle follows: out through Wadi Musa at sunrise, across ground that changes with every kilometre, into country the caravans crossed.
Six days is long enough to stop counting them.
