How to book / the process
Jordan Trail lists a permit as required: Section permits (Petra / Wadi Rum / Dana). The legacy issuer field names PDTRA, ASEZA, and RSCN. Reservation on the record is “none”. The fee table above is the whole tariff this desk holds. Each row keeps its own issuer, source link, status, and the date that source was checked.
What the government or park issues is the row whose status is official and whose issuer is a public body. What an operator adds — a package day rate, a guide wage, a lodge deposit, a jeep — is not in that row unless the notes say so. The notes below mention an agency, operator, or guide. That sentence is the record; it is not a booking instruction from this desk.
The stored best season for the trail is North Mar–Apr, South Feb–Mar; also Sep–mid-Nov. Itinerary length in days is not published on this record.A season window is not a permit quota. If the quota line names a lottery, a solo ban, or a closed month, that line is the restriction; the season string is only when the trail record says walking is usual.
No single Jordan Trail walking permit on https://www.jordantrail.org/ (checked 2026-08-20); the JT Pass is a trail passport, not a park ticket. Petra is a separate Verified PDTRA ticket on the entry below. Wadi Rum Protected Area entry: 5 JOD foreign / 1 JOD Jordanian (Jordan Tourism Board entrance-fees table, https://international.visitjordan.com/page/17/entrance-fees/, checked 2026-08-24). The Jordan Pass covers that entry (JTB, https://international.visitjordan.com/blog/external/7626/how-much-does-it-cost-to-go-to-petra-jordan/, checked 2026-08-24). ASEZA manages the reserve (https://aseza.jo/EN/Pages/Wadi_Rum_department, checked 2026-08-20). This is a section fee for the Wadi Rum reserve, not a whole-trail permit. Dana (RSCN): daily entrance JOD 10 non-Jordanian / 5 resident / 2 Jordanian, tax included, 2025 rate sheet https://www.rscn.org.jo/uploaded_files/reservation/Dana%202025-1.pdf (checked 2026-08-20); guided trail fees are separate on that sheet. Wadi Rum and Dana were not re-read in the 2026-10-15 pass.
Read the cost in the currency printed on the row. A muted dollar line, when present, is this desk's dated snapshot for the first amount in that string. It is not the price the issuer charges, and it is omitted when this snapshot has no rate for that currency. Confirm the live tariff on the issuer page linked from the row before you pay anyone.
