HORSE RIDING TOURS JORDAN
horse rides in the mountains around Petra
Important:
- Horses in Jordan are sturdy and tough but small in size and therefor the maximum weight we can and will accept for riders is 85 kilo / 187 pounds … when you fill out the form we expect you to be as honest as you would be if you went bungee jumping !
- We use English saddles, we know from experience that this is always a problem for people who have learned to ride on a western saddle only. Even experienced western riders have issues with balance.
- In the months of March, April, May, September, October and November our horses and guides are out on 6-day trail rides most of the time. In between rides our horses need to rest and eat so unfortunately we can’t schedule anything extra for them.
During the 3 hour horse ride we take you up the mountain, you will have stunning views over a part of Petra, Bedouin Village, Ammarin Village and Little Petra.
The terrain is mountainous and rugged and our horses are very forward going so you definitely need to have horse riding experience. For safety reasons we do not take beginners or children on our trails.
Important info: The ride is NOT inside Petra !
Price: 60 JOD per person
During the full day horse ride we take you up the mountain and along the way you will have great views over a part of Petra, Bedouin Village, Ammarin Village and Little Petra.

Level of riding: Riders need to be able to fully control their horse in a walk, trot and canter!

We select our horses based on the information we receive from you, therefore it’s very important to be honest about your riding abilities and your weight. Only then we can select the right horse for you.
Horse riding is considered a ‘dangerous’ sport, despite all the safety measures we take, the expertise of the guide and the character of the horses we select there’s always a possible risk.
Every rider is responsible for his or her own safety and if a rider is a danger to himself, to the horse or to other riders the guide has the right to take appropriate action.
We will provide a riding helmet, riding without a helmet is at one’s own risk.
Hereby we make you aware of the possible risks and the fact that the guide cannot be held responsible for any damages or accidents. Every rider needs to be sufficiently insured with regard to accident and illness.
