Jordan, Petra Trek Open Challenge Charity: Choose a charity (Open Challenges) Challenge:  Jordan Desert Trek Dates: 14/10/2010 -19/10/2010 Deposit*: £ 250 Minimum Sponsorship*: £  2100 Grade:  Moderate   Join our Petra Trek Open Challenge in October 2010 and join a small group of trekkers who are all raising funds for their chosen charity. The Kingdom of Jordan conjures up images of Bible stories, lost cities, Lawrence of Arabia, and more recently Indiana Jones! With a dramatic landscape, little changed in over 2,000 years, a desert trek in this Hashemite realm is a breath taking experience. Discover an unspoiled wilderness with archaeological remains steeped in history and culture. Our trek begins in the famous red rose city of Petra, the ancient city hewn from a towering sandstone rock wall and capital of the Nabataeans, a third century BC Arab dynasty. Set in a deep canyon and accessible only by a narrow cleft in the rock, it is almost impossible to overrate Petra – the silent, unchanged, colossal ruins are a visual feast. Immerse yourself in the splendour of the famous el Khazneh (the Treasury), soaring temples, royal tombs, amphitheatre, monumental staircases and paved streets of this astonishing city. Hiking on the very edge of the Great Rift Valley, we’ll cross magnificent escarpments, gorges and canyons as we spend the next two days trekking in the desert, following ancient hunter trails and Nabataean caravan roads. Nights will be spent in Bedouin camps, watching the sun set over vivid sandstone rocks and star gazing into the evening. Signing up for this once in a lifetime challenge is easy.
