Jordan Trail Cost Breakdown

“While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery.” -Groucho Marx


Ok, let's talk about money! I kept track of my expenses for my Jordan Trail thru-hike (I use a budget app). I have decided to share the cost of my 18 days hiking. Note that all prices are in Canadian Dollars (currency converter) and they don't include any flights or gear. Here's my breakdown:

Sleeping


Note that more than half ($65) comes from 2 days off the trail waiting for a storm to pass in a flash flood risk section.
  • Total: $115​

Transportation


Obviously, this one will be small, I used my feet to get everywhere, but it includes transportation to and from the airport and the bus ride to Um Quais where I started.
  • Total: 32$​

Food


Here come the big expenses; Food! About $70 comes from food I bought before my trip (to have at least a little of the good and organic variety).
  • Total: $180

Drinks


I treated my water most of the time, but on a few occasions, I bought bottled water. The cost includes juices as well.
  • Total: $24​

Sightseeing


This includes only the worthy Jordan Pass, which includes your visa cost, the expensive Petra entrance fee, and Wadi Rum fee.
  • Total: $145

Other


My only expense here is a Sim card (to keep the family happy).
  • Total: $27

Grand Total: $523 ~$30-35/day
