Jordan is a destination that blends ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and unparalleled adventures. For centuries, horses have been a part of Jordan’s cultural fabric, playing a vital role in trade, warfare, and exploration. Today, horseback riding in Jordan offers visitors a unique way to explore its magnificent terrain, following the footsteps of the Bedouins, Nabateans, and even Lawrence of Arabia.
At Jordan Horizons Tours, we invite you to saddle up and discover Jordan’s wonders on horseback, from the iconic trails of Petra to the vast desert landscapes of Wadi Rum. Whether you’re an experienced equestrian or a novice looking for a new adventure, Jordan promises an unforgettable journey.

It’s an experience that harmonizes adventure with tranquility, ideal for those who wish to connect deeply with nature and history.
