Horse Riding in Jordan
From Petra to Wadi Rum on Horseback

Horse riding in Jordan is another way for adventure seekers to discover the natural beauty of this country. Combined with a visit to the ancient city of Petra and a float in the Dead Sea, a horseback riding holiday in Jordan is the experience of a lifetime.
