Petra Desert Marathon

The Petra Desert Marathon offers an extraordinary adventure in one of Jordan’s most iconic sites. The race starts in the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and takes runners on a challenging course through spectacular desert landscapes. With steep climbs, arid valleys, and breathtaking views of ancient rock formations, this race is both a physical and mental challenge. For those who want to experience this unique event on a shorter course, there’s also a half-marathon option available.
