Jordan Trail day 15
Stage: Al-Arid - Ziban (off-trail)
Distance: 24km
Total distance: 371km
What a great day! Although it was extremely difficult in terms of difficulty, it brought me a lot of positive impressions.
I set out on the trail after seven in the morning and immediately had to negotiate a difficult descent down the gorge. The next sections of the trail turned out to be a pile of stones, and you had to be very careful. Finally got to Wadi Hidan. I could admire the beautiful views that surrounded me from all sides.
I began a slow descent, and a broken shepherd's tent appeared at the bottom. There I met a really good man. Even though I didn't speak Arabic, we understood each other intuitively. After spending a good hour with him, I continued my journey.
While climbing the opposite slope, I had to face difficulties on the trail. In the meantime, I stayed in another tent, where we drank tea with an Arab family. Then I had to climb a very steep climb over rocks and gravel that was horribly hard to walk on. The GPS was only helpful for my direction, and the rest depended on my experience and skills.
After a long and exhausting climb, I reached another world. The field stretched out before his eyes, stretching to the horizon. I decided to walk a maximum of two more hours to find a place for the tent. However, instead, I came across two men with three children. When they found out that I was following the Jordan Trail, they invited me to dinner and overnight. They took me by car to their house.
They showed me where I was supposed to sleep and they went shopping. I took the opportunity to clean myself up, take a shower and wash my clothes. After returning, we prepared dinner and more people joined the table. We spent a wonderful time together.

Jordan Trail day 16
Stage: Ziban - Faqu'a
Distance: 25km
Total distance: 396km
Today was the most challenging day on the Jordan Trail. It started with a difficult descent down Wadi Mujib, where every step had to be thought out, and the steep slope and abyss were dangerous. The descent took over 3 hours, and the sun was very hot. When I finally got down, there was almost 1200m of climbing waiting for me. At first the road was gravel, but it quickly turned into a path that disappeared among the stones. I tottered bravely up, looking for a convenient passage. There was nothing but mountains and amazing views. There was no water, and another spring turned out to be dry. Before 6 p.m., when dusk began, I saw the shepherd's tent. I decided to approach the shepherd and ask for water. The shepherd invited me inside and offered me a place on a mattress to sleep on. He also prepared a modest but very delicious dinner for us. After the meal we sat for a long time talking and drinking delicious tea.
