Itinerary description
Follows a beautiful valley lined with a variety of trees, including a subspecies of Oak called Quercus ithaburensis, it's the national tree of Jordan and the acorns are gigantic! In places bamboo even lines the way.
The route follows tracks created by human and animal. Care around the shepherds dogs is needed. I'd suggest avoiding them and the sheep completely. They are trained to protect and you are an unknown threat. Arabic is required to communicate even in the towns start and end.
