www.equineadventures.co.uk Ever dreamed of galloping through unspoilt valleys, crossing the mystical landscape of Lawrence of Arabia, riding through canyons and gorges on the finest-bred Arabian horses, and spending nights under star-filled desert skies? It is possible to explore Jordon’s ‘King’s Highway’ and the unique rock-hewn Nabataean city of Petra, during Equine Adventures’ 10-day riding adventure from the deserts of Jordan’s red-rose canyons of the Wadi Rum to the Red Sea shores at Aqaba.
After arrival in Amman, the adventure begins by vehicle with a visit to the King’s Highway, an area rich in archaeological sites dating back to the Hebrews, King Solomon, the Crusaders and Saladin. The next day is devoted to the ancient city of Petra, described by D.Burgen as ‘the rose city, half the age of time’. The site was at the heart of the ancient Nabataen kingdom, with many tombs and temples still remaining, all hewn out of the living pink sandstone rock, amongst the canyons of Jordan’s south. Later there is a transfer by road to Wadi Rum, followed by 4-days of exhilarating desert riding on well-schooled Arabs, The trek is through the expanses of Jordan’s desert landscape, venturing deep into the canyons of Wadi Rum, passing immense sand dunes, stony plains, valleys and dry oases. Riders experience the towering wind-sculpted rock formations, including the ‘Seven Pillars of Wisdom’ immortalised in Lawrence’s writings, visiting Bedouin tribes along the way. Riders need to be fit and confident to lead horses through sand. Whilst in the desert, riders sleep under the stars or in tents, meals are prepared over an open fire, while watching the sun set. Finally, there is a road transfer to Aqaba, searching for souvenirs in the colourful souks, or relaxing along the coral-rich coast of the Red Sea, before returning to Amman for homeward flights.
