Description

These spectacular rides in Jordan will leave an unforgettable impression in your heart and mind - visit the ancient city of Petra, ride fit horses through the Wadi Rum desert, camp under starry skies and relax your body in the Dead Sea to finish your adventure. Hashem and his team will show you the best of the region and share with you their incredible passion for horses - riding is in their blood and is not just a business for them, it is a pleasure and a way of life. The horses are a mix of Arabian crossbreeds and purebreds and they all have incredible stamina, are well cared for and fun to ride. There are horses with different temperaments to suit the needs of different riders, but participants should be confident and fit to ride an energetic horse at all paces.

These riding holidays are the perfect combination of desert riding and a chance to learn more of the ancient Biblical and Nabatean history of the area. The red sands of the Wadi Rum desert were made famous by T.E.Lawrence, also known as 'Lawrence of Arabia'. His book "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is a biographical account of his experiences during the Arab Revolt of 1916-18 as a member of the British Forces of North Africa. The rock formations above Wadi Rum village are known as the Seven Pillars in his honour and there are a number of sites which bear his name, such as Lawrence's House and Lawrence's springs, some of which may be seen on the ride. The ancient, red rock city of Petra is one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World and it's easy to see why. Your first glimpse of the Treasury will stay with your forever, but Petra is much larger than this well-known monument and there are many other spectacular facades carved into the canyon. A guided tour is included in the ride programme.

Team member Holly has been on this ride and would be happy to tell you more about it.

Horses & Riding

Tack

The tack primarily consists of Wintec English style or endurance saddles and snaffle bridles, either leather or plastic. The horses are usually ridden with martingales and occasionally a breastplate. Some horses are ridden in Pelhams. The numnahs have built in saddlebags so that you are able to carry bottled water and other essentials during the day.

Horses

The horses are primarily Arabian crossbreeds but some are purebred and they are all well cared for, handled with kindness and extremely fit. Whilst they have a lot of stamina and power, they are well-behaved and fun to ride, with different temperaments available to suit the needs of different guests.

There are 2 itineraries:

  • Petra to Wadi Rum Trail (10 Day) is a trail ride
  • Petra to Wadi Rum Trail (8 Day) is a trail ride

Ages

Food & Accommodation

Food

Daily you enjoy delicious typical Arabic dishes like ‘sanniya’ (hot dish with vegetables, potatoes and chicken), 'maglouba’ (rice with spices and chicken or meat), meze (small starters such as humus, fuul, kube and tabouleh); a variety of meat and chicken; musakhan (chicken in olive oil and onion sauce roasted on Arab bread); and the Jordanian speciality mensaf (stewed lamb in a yogurt sauce served on a bed of rice). Most Arabic countries will not serve pork. Arabic unleavened bread (khobz) is eaten with almost everything. Mostly the hotels have very good buffet dinners with also European varieties of dishes.

When camping meals are often served from the traditional large communal plate or laid out on a table for you to help yourself.

Breakfasts consist of eggs, bread, olive oil and sater (cumin seeds and herbs), cheese, fresh fruits and tea or Turkish coffee. If you like milk in your coffee then this is evaporated milk from a tin.

Lunches are usually a simple cooked meal, always with some vegetables or salad included (lunches are usually vegetarian in fact). Lunch breaks are leisurely affairs and you will have time for a nap.

Dinners will be typical Arabic dishes as described above. Perhaps local fish cooked in spices, chicken and potatoes or lamb and rice served with yoghurt and bread. Dessert is fruit or something small and sweet like a piece of baklava.

Local tea, coffee and bottled water are included during the horse trail. Other drinks are generally not included - please keep in mind that this is a Muslim country and whilst you are able to buy alcohol to bring on the ride, we ask that you are respectful of the local culture and drink responsibly. When in the hotels you can buy and pay for the drinks directly.

Accommodation

The accommodation is based on double/twin occupancy but single rooms are available for a supplement. The hotel accommodation is usually 3* hotels and they have private bathrooms. The first night is often at the Mosaic City Hotel (or similar) in Madaba. There is a night in Wadi Mousa in a 3* hotel such as Petra Corner or one of a similar standard.

The camping nights during the trail are very basic but really rather special thanks to the great locations, amazing starry skies and the feeling of adventure. Your hosts provide simple tents and mattresses and at least twice during the week you will be able to wash with a bucket of hot water and a jug. There are no toilet facilities during the camping nights, the toilets are "open air" and you simply find a private spot away from camp. A jug with water and soap is available for hand-washing. Riders need to bring their own sleeping bag and a pillow (if they want one), toilet paper and wet wipes (please choose biodegradable options) or a flannel. Some nights you can sleep out without a tent if you prefer.

Itineraries

Petra to Wadi Rum Trail (10 Day) Basic / Tented accommodation.

Petra to Wadi Rum Trail (8 Day) Tented accommodation.

For those more interested in wildlife and nature- places to visit include Azraq Wetland Reserve, Shawmari Wildlife Reserve, Mujib & Dana Nature Reserve, Ajlun and Dibeen Forest Reserve, Wadi Rum.

For the daredevil and adventure lovers why not try canyoning in Wadi Mujib, hiking in the nature reserves, diving in Aqaba. Try a camel ride, jeep tours, quad biking and rock climbing or a or a balloon flight in Wadi Rum.

Diving, snorkelling, water skiing, wind surfing, para-sailing, boat trips and fishing, are just some of the popular activities in Aqaba by the Red Sea.

As you can see Jordan is a country with a lot of variety where we can tailor make a programme for everyone's wishes.

Travel

For this ride you should fly into Amman airport - the flights often arrive late at night, but that is not a problem. Amman airport transfers and the cost of your visa are included in the price of the trip (we need passport details from you before the ride so as to organise the visa).

Dinner is included on arrival day if there is time, otherwise you can get straight into bed after check-in. The first night is spent in a hotel in Madaba which is less than half an hour by car from the airport.

Testimonials

Jelena K., March 26, 2024

It was really a great and very eventful time, which definitely ensured that there will be a repeat for most of us. I will never forget the fast rides through the desert, the climbing tours in Petra and Hashem's trust in us. And the most important: His great, strong horses. 100% recommendation!!!

Great organization, very easy and forward going horses, beautiful campsites, perfect guides, breathtaking nature.


Margaret R., Oct. 17, 2023

It was a well balanced trip with some cultural experiences --Petra and Dead Sea--bookending the riding. Felt well organized (with one exception) and quality care by guides and drivers. The tack was some of the best we encountered. The horses worked out in the end although several changes made to accommodate guests who struggled to ride.


Ariel C., Sept. 29, 2023

Better than I ever expected. Best bday(week)! Everything was exquisite! Even with my being gluten free! The horses were phenomenal!! Could not have been more happy with Blackie. (Hashem) was amazing, perfect guide and best group of guys!

With his great personality, fun ways and always being reliable, he made this trip a dream come true.


B. B., Nov. 17, 2022

Everything I hoped for. A wonderful experience riding in a stunning, remote location. Fit, fun (but still safe) horses with personality (exactly what I asked for). An entertaining, knowledgeable guide and two great ladies to share the adventure with. Logistically it was very smooth too. I particularly liked the hands-on and camping elements, grooming/tacking up the horses and camping out under the stars.


Meeghan V., March 29, 2022

This trip was a dream. Absolutely fantastic! Wadi Rum was spectacular, the horses were great, the food was delicious and we were very lucky to have wonderful people in our group. Also really loved the camping. The crew thought of everything. And if you needed anything (wine) they were happy to arrange it for you. I had so much fun and I'm definitely going back.


Sabrina R., March 29, 2022

It was a fantastic trip! From first day until the last day everything was just great. The riding part was the best of the trip. Riding through Wadi Rum never got boring and the scenery was so beautiful, changing every day. Excellent guide with a lot of knowledge and always cares about the safety of the group. I liked the way he treats his horses - you can clearly see and feel how much he loves his horses and cares about them. BIG BIG LIKE! :)


Kate, April 28, 2021

Had the best time - even loved the camping! Everything about the trip was superbly organised and nothing was too much trouble. Horses are fun and forward going but safe. Scenery was incredible and food was cooked outside and was utterly delicious. Our guide Hashim clearly cared a huge amount about his horses and was a fantastic guide.


Kim, April 28, 2021

I would like to thank you very much for the organization of this amazing trip! It was absolutely wonderful. Hashem, the guide, cared very good about us and his horses. So far one of the best trips in my life. I am already looking forward to the next trip with far and ride. Once again: THANK YOU!


Rebecca, April 28, 2021

We LOVED this trip. Hashem and his team were friendly, professional, organized, and gave us an amazing view into Jordanian life and culture. We cannot recommend this trip highly enough (although that is exactly what we have been doing to all our friends ever since we returned home).

The sunset ride in wadi rum will always have a place in my heart, truly stunning.
