Petra and Wadi Rum by Bike Itinerary

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 cafe bar.

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.

Ride to Moses' 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.

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.

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.

Experience the vast isolation of this remote area on a 4x4 adventure into the desert at Wadi Rum, before returning to Amman.
