The south of Jordan
Petra
The rose-red city, carved into the rock. The Siq, the Treasury, the Monastery, and the quiet places most visitors walk past.
Explored on foot, with a guide
Wadi Musa
The valleys and terraced hills at Petra's gate, where the stables sit. Narrow trails, orchards and Bedouin settlements. This is the family's home ground. If you ride one thing here, ride this.
Ridden on horseback
Wadi Rum
Vast open sand between towering sandstone massifs. Long, fast ground and enormous skies, and the desert most people picture when they picture Jordan.
Ridden on horseback
Wadi Araba
The rift valley floor running toward the Dead Sea. Flat, pale and starkly empty, with the mountains of Jordan standing along one side. Very few riders ever see it.

Ride the desert of southern Jordan the way it was meant to be seen: slowly, deeply, and on horseback.Read our story →
