Ethical horseback riding in Wadi Rum, Jordan

Ride the desert with horses that are cared for the way horses were meant to live. 

When God wanted to create the horse, he said to the South Wind,
“I want to make a creature of you. Condense.” And the wind condensed.

Feel the magic of Wadi Rum on horseback

Wadi Rum is one of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth, ancient sandstone mountains, vast red dunes, silence that reaches the horizon. The way to experience it is not from a jeep window but on horseback offering a view from the desert from a totally different perspective. Guided through the desert by a Bedouin for a more immersive experience. 

Whether you’re an experienced trail rider or climbing in the saddle for the first time, we’ll match you with the right horse and take you somewhere unforgettable.

"One of the highlights of our trip! Ali was a very passionate guide. He took very good care of us and of the horses. He showed us some beautiful places in Wadi Rum. I hadn't been on a horse for a long time, but Ali made sure I could get used to it again at my own pace. You can tell he is very passionate about his job and the desert. The horses are very sweet and it excellent shape. Highly recommend the day ride!"

"We had a 3 hour ride and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The horses are very well cared for and wonderful to ride. Ali was great. We got to trot and canter, but the horses' welfare came first which was reassuring and perfect. The sound of hooves on sand is one of my new favourites. Astrid sorted out the booking which was easy and straightforward. I'd recommend booking directly with Wadi Rum Horse Adventures because then they get all the fee rather than your accommodation taking a cut. Feeding the horses can't be cheap."

"We went on a 4 hour ride with Ali, I have to say it was my most remarkable time in Jordan, the scenery was breathtaking, and the horses were in a really good shape. My friend had never ridden a horse before, and he could get a horse that followed Ali all the way, so we could feel completely safe during the whole trip, while there was plenty of opportunities to try trotting. We visited the famous Khazali Canyon and the Sand dunes, both were definitely worth the time. It was great riding with you, and special thanks to Astrid too, who helped a lot with the organising and answered all my questions very quickly. Hopefully we can do the overnight version some time in the future! :)"

"I rarely leave reviews but wanted to let you know what a fabulous experience we had on our one day horse trek with Ali and an over night stay at their camp. We are experienced riders (2 adults and young teenagers) and we loved it. Ali was excellent at ensuring our safety yet allowing us opportunities to cantor and gallop. The food was wonderful and catered for our vegetarians too. I would really recommend the overnight stay at the camp. excellent toilet/shower facilities and huts. a fire, music and chat. Would def go again and hope to. Many thanks to Ali and the team."
