The adventure

Sure, Jordan’s got ancient wonders — but wait until you bike through them. This isn’t your average sightseeing tour. You’ll pedal past desert dunes like a Bedouin on wheels roll into the lost city of Petra like a legend and coast your way toward the salty shores of the Dead Sea for a well-earned float. From winding forest paths near Amman to wide-open roads in Wadi Rum every day is packed with epic views big climbs and even bigger payoffs. Toss in a few community meals and a 4x4 ride for good measure and you’ve got a cycling trip that hits different.
