Horseback Riding Tours
In Petra we have almost 350 Arabian horses, owned and treasured by local families and well-looked after by our very own Princess Alia’s clinic for horses. At JIT we concentrate on bringing benefit to the horses and their local handlers by employing them to serve you. Horses are well-shod and saddled with careful consideration for the comfort of both horse and the rider.
We choose only the healthiest and fittest horses, best-trained for trail riding. We consider these horses as part of our environment and our heritage – the tribes of the Petra region are traditionally the proud breeders of fine horses. The fitness and beauty of your mounts and your experiences as you learn to handle them will contribute to our efforts to give you every last ounce of enjoyment of travel on horseback – talking to the horses, feeding and watering them, making them comfortable when we all stop to rest and saddling them up in the morning. All along you will be assisted by our experienced local horse-handlers.
From the moment you are introduced to your horse you will progress to become sincere friends. Our handlers make this easy for everyone – whether you are an experienced rider or a raw beginner! Even if it’s your first time on horseback, we think you’ll find this great fun, and an easy way to reach places we couldn’t go on human feet.

Come to Jordan and let us take you on a tour of human history!
Jordan is home to 10,000 years of human settlement - - and the ruins of those civilization are still present in our landscape.
Prehistoric humans settled here in the mild climate around Petra and `Azraq – the Neolithic site at Little dates back to 7,500 BC, and like Jericho is one of the world’s oldest known villages. Jordan has hosted continuous habitation from earliest civilization to the present. Enjoy exploring the human past with us - - Iron Age mining villages, cave-homes of nomadic hunters, neolithic apartment complexes... millennia upon millennia of humans have left their traces throughout Jordan .
We still use the route forged by the Romans down the spine of Jordan ’s mountains, the “King’s Highway” built by the Emperor Trajan. Roman roads and ruins cover Jordan ’s landscape, and Jerash is the best-preserved and most extensive Roman city in the world today. Byzantine mosaics, villages, shrines and churches dot the whole country. In Madaba the earliest known map of the holy land is a Byzantine mosaic on the floor of St. George’s Orthodox Church, where Arab Christians still worship today. The extensive ruins of the black stone city of Umm al-Jimal give us a feel for the long history of Arab tribes who were allies of the Romans, became Christians and later converted their churches to mosques…
Jordan is a treasure trove of Islamic history, too. The fabulous “Desert Palaces” of the first Islamic caliphate still stand grandly in the desert. Qusayr `Amra is a UNESCO World Heritage Monument – a “little palace” and bathhouse with mosaic floors and lively frescoes from the 8th century AD. We are also proud to be home to 28 Islamic holy sites that commemorate famous historical figures and political events in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on upon him). Many of our holy sites – such as the tombs of Moses (Musa), Jethro (Shu`a
