TONY HOWARD
The Jordan Trail
S
ince 1984, Tony Howard and
Di Taylor have written four
guidebooks to climbs and treks
throughout Jordan, describing
the forested hills, challenging
canyons, rugged mountains and
colourful deserts of this uniquely
varied and beautiful country, with
its many famous Reserves, World
Heritage and antiquity sites. In the
1990s they started putting together
a 650km country-length Jordan Trail,
and with the help of others it was
completed in 2016.
Last spring Tony and Di joined
the First Official Thru-Walk. It is
hoped the trail will not only benefit
Jordan’s adventure tourism but will
also directly aid the economy across
the poorer parts of the country. This
year’s fully supported Thru-Walk
starts in Um Qais 2 March, finishing
in Aqaba 14 April. Join for the whole
trek or a day or more anywhere along
the trail.
