Experience Overview
From the shores of the Dead Sea to the top of ancient Petra, Jordan is a country as rich in surreal landscapes as it is in natural charm.
From the shores of the Dead Sea to the top of ancient Petra, Jordan is a country as rich in surreal landscapes as it is in natural charm. Places such as the ruins of ancient Jerash seem so perfectly preserved, it’s almost as if they froze in time; Mount Nebo, said to once be savoured by Moses as he looked on towards the Promised Land, offers views revered since antiquity; and the deserts around Wadi Rum seem to glow the colour of the earth’s blood. Experience the best that Jordan has to offer as you feel the winds of the desert shift into the breath of the mountain, all the while pedalling from the top of your faithful bike.
Highlights
- Spend a whole day uncovering the majesty and mystery of the world wonder of Petra. The first glimpse of the Treasury from the narrow path of the Siq is simply unforgettable.
- Experience the best weightlessness this side of outer space with an effortless float in the super-salty waters of the Dead Sea
- Hop in a jeep and experience the extraordinary desert scenery of Wadi Rum, a rugged moonscape of huge sandstone mountains
- Meet Bedouin locals, learn about their ways, and sleep under the stars in a far-flung desert camp.

The Intrepid bike trip I Jordan was amazing. It was a great way to see parts of the country you otherwise wouldn't see. Furat was a knowledgeable and fun guide who looked after us well and made everything comfortable for us.

Totally unforgettable experience.

Jordan surprised me in its beauty, history and the warm genuine welcome of the Jordanian people. Each day on the trip was epic and I can't recommend the country and the intrepid tour enough. I will certainly be booking another trip as soon as possible.

Cycling Jordan is a trip you'll never forget. The ancient wonders of this country are mind blowing. If you love culture shock as I do then do this trip. Our guide, Furat, was knowledgable and helpful. Pay attention to the physical rating and be prepared.

What a trip! Jordan was everything we hoped for and more. The cycling allowed us to feel totally immersed in this great country, with such welcoming people. Two things made this possible. Our group leader Wally was a star and the group of 16 like minded travellers so much fun.

Intrepid combines reasonable prices with exceptionally interesting trips and excellent service. I have taken two different cycling group trips and both have been among my most enjoyable vacations. On both I have met interesting and enjoyable people and learned a great deal about the countries I visited including pleasant interactions with their citizens..

Very fun trip, great group of people, awesome guides, and cool biking (but very tiring if you’re not someone with a lot of experience). I felt it was an amazing experience but also quite rushed / go-go-go, so would recommend it to friends who are looking for an action-packed schedule during their vacation. Also would recommend staying an extra few days to rest and explore Madaba/ Amman/ Wadi Mujib. Overall great experience!

Cycling through Jordan is an experience I will never forget. Amazing people, food, sights, and memories. It exceeded all of my expectations!

A fantastic cycling trip that took us around Jordan with a capable tour guide crew that meticulously planned every aspect. The cycling rides were the best. Some of the uphills tested us but the rides down the undulating hills were a magical reward. Special thanks to Furat, our guide, his expertise and good humor.

There were so many incredible sights to see in Jordan, from the ancient city of Petra to the stunning desert landscapes of Wadi Rum. And Intrepid with their local guide's knowledge made our cycling experience through the country seamless, they allowed us to see it all up close and personal, while also getting some exercise and fresh air. They also gave us the chance to connect with local people and experience the warmth and hospitality for which Jordan is known. Furat the local guide leader created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for having a well balanced, local and experienced guide who complimented our well deserved trip, both my wife and I will definitely be using Intrepid again!

Absolutely amazing way to explore Jordan. Nothing beats flying down the hill looking and seeing the vast landscape of little Petra floating one day or floating in the Dead Sea the next. Highly recommend

The trip was an absolutely wonderful (and much-needed) adventure! The combination of historical sightseeing, relaxing on the beach with the physical activity of huffing and puffing through the beautiful landscape of Jordan gave the sense of achievement once the 30-50km ride was behind us. The memory of Little Petra and Wadi Rum opening up in front of us after a long ride still gives me goosebumps! Our guide, Furat was brilliant - his in-depth local knowledge, super friendly (and fun!) personality eased us into the local culture, cuisine and made the trip really enjoyable. The back end support was also impeccable, which gave us the comfort that they were prepared for all. I cannot think of a better way of seeing Jordan than with a bunch of Aussie, Kiwi, US guys and of course Brits doing crazy cycling through the landscape – I have over 1000+ pictures to prove it!

My trip to Jordan was a brilliant combination of culture and cycling.
05/31/2023
This is a challenging, informative and stimulating trip, packed with great cycling, tours of amazing cultural heritage sites, all led by the amazing Furat and his wonderful team. I met lovely people and had so much fun - I’ve not laughed so much for ages. Highly recommend

This trip exceeded my expectations, (apart from the Signature Hotel in Amman). We were kept fully occupied every day with a good mix of culture, sightseeing, cycling, good food. Snorkelling over a coral reef is worth doing and the early morning camel ride in Wadi Rum is the real deal.

Very good trip for an overview of Jordan highlights. Knowledgeable guide, good itinerary and generally acceptable accommodation. Bike quality should be better for terrain. Food and snacks were good.
05/23/2023
Jordan is a fantastic place to explore. The group leader and support crew where friendly and welcoming and gave great insights into Jordan's history and culture. Would 100% recommended this trip to anyone who enjoys cycling and exploring new places.

The cycle Jordan tour is an amazing experience. Riding some off-track paths and quieter roads means you get too see a side of Jordan that few tourists do. We also visited the major sites in the itinerary too. Furat our guide was outstanding, and the cycle support was well organised and helpful. The bikes were excellent quality too. And Jordan... what a country!! Great food, amazing charming people and some of the most unique scenery on the planet; and all relatively small travelling distances. A fantastic experience. Thanks Furat!
