The Arab nation of Jordan is home to some of the most spellbinding sites in the world. Discover the ancient city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Renowned for its intricate rock-cut architecture and stunning natural surroundings, Petra is just one of the highlights of Middle East cycling holidays. Ride through the narrow Siq canyon before reaching the breathtaking Treasury (Al-Khazneh) carved into the rock face, and explore the numerous tombs, temples and ancient dwellings sprinkled throughout the archaeological site.

Venturing further south, you’ll encounter the surreal landscapes of Wadi Rum, famously known as the Valley of the Moon. Journey through vast stretches of fiery red sand dunes surrounded by towering rock formations and experience the surreal ambience that has made this area a popular backdrop for countless films.

In stark contrast to the sprawling desert, visit Jordan’s vibrant capital city, Amman, with its rich history and modern cosmopolitan vibe. The ancient city of Jerash is another highlight of cycling holidays in the Middle East.
