ITINERARY... Day 1 Amman Arrive in the city of Amman and enjoy a free day to explore
Jordan’s thrilling capital. Perhaps admire the cityscape from the lofty Roman theatre or watch
the world go by in a cool Shmeisani café bar. Day 2 Jerash/Madaba Time to hop on the
bikes and pedal out through the foothills and olive groves of the Rift Valley. Arrive in Madaba
- the famous ‘City of Mosaics’- and marvel at the remarkably well-preserved ancient mosaic
map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Days 3-5 Petra Ride to Moses’s reputed burial place at
Mount Nebo before an exhilarating descent to the shores of the Dead Sea. Head to Suwaima
and float in the salty waters to rejuvenate tired legs. Spend two inspiring days exploring the
ancient rose-hued city of Petra. One of the most remarkable places on earth, this captivating
site is full of breathtaking sandstone carvings and is a true highlight of the Middle East. Back
in the saddle, take a visit to Little Petra and the intricately detailed Siq al-Barid. Day 6 Aqaba
Venture into the Jordanian desert, through remote Bedouin territory, and follow the dusty
road to Wadi Araba. Emerge from the desert and drive to Aqaba on the Red Sea. Watch a
brilliant sunset flame the sky red and kick back in the serenity of Aqaba. Day 7 Wadi Rum
Take the chance to swim or snorkel before cycling to spectacular Wadi Rum. Marvel at the
surreal landscape while conjuring up images of Lawrence of Arabia leading tribes into battle.
Days 8-9 Amman Experience the vast isolation of this remote area on a 4x4 adventure into
the desert at Wadi Rum, before returning to Amman.
