2-Day horse ride in the Little Petra area

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 in a western saddle only. Even experienced western riders have serious issues with balance on an English saddle.

Day 1: Starting from the stable in Wadi Musa you ride up the mountain. During the ride you will have the view of Petra, Bedouin Village and Ammarin Village. You visit the old deserted village Al Hay from where you ride down in the direction of Little Petra. After lunch you ride deeper into Beida, the area around Little Petra. Dinner and camping under the stars.

Day 2: In the morning we ride back through the mountains to Little Petra and we have lunch in the shade of a big fig tree. After lunch there is some time to relax before we continue our ride back to the stables.

Included: +/- 5 hours horse riding per day – guide – all meals – water and soft drinks – jeep for luggage transportation

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

Note: This program can proceed with 2 riders or more.

Price: 200 JOD per person

We select our horses based on the information we receive from you, therefore it’s very important to be honest about your riding abilities. 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.
