HORSE RIDE OFFER 10 Days Tours 09 nights
 



Riding on horseback will take you back to ancient times. To the era when merchants and adventurers followed the Nabatean spice routes. Their wellbeing and survival often depended then on the wellbeing of your mount. In the desert of Wadi Rum the Bedouin people still live as they have been doing for centuries. They still wander through the desert looking for the best places to herd their sheep and goats, carrying their black tents with them wherever they go. We invite you to come along with us on a journey back in time.

Apart from a six day horse-ride in Wadi Rum, you will also visit the rose-red city of Petra and other highlights of the Jordanian culture and history. We expect you to be an experienced horseman, used to riding outdoors. The horses are mainly full-bred Arabic horses. The tour will be guided by expert Bedouin guides, who are familiar with the treks since childhood. We will cover approximately thirty to thirty five kilometers daily, depending on the territory. Jordan Beauty Tours will provide all camping equipment and full board during camping days, as well as first aid and health care when needed. And of course the horses are well taken care of; a veterinarian will come along with the group.
