Excellent experience - It was really an amazing and worth doing experience. Ahmed, my guide, is a lovely, helpful and very friendly person. You can feel and see that the horses are well treated. The tour is really great, it allows to see the wonderful landscapes from and around Petra. I had a great horse riding. I really recommend it.

An Unforgettable Experience - I don't know how to put it into words, as we are still in such a "shock".. If you are a horse enthusiastic and you are in Wadi Musa area, DO NOT MISS THIS! Ahmed not only have a great love for horses, but he has an amazing photography skills too. His horses are well kept and trained, and the trail is breathtaking. Do not worry if you are a beginner or a novice, you are in safe hands! Me and my husband will cherish this experience for the rest of our lives. Thank you habibi!

Even if (and especially if) you’re a novice in horse riding, go for it - Ahmad has made this 2 hour a grand slam experience for me and my gf. We were novices in horse riding and while we had doubt whether we could ride them uphill / gallop; Ahmad assured us and sure enough we performed these moves, with the precious moments captured so well by Ahmad Ahmad is also a super fun guy to hang out with. His sense of humour and his personal stories made the trip extra enjoyable. His photo and video taking skills are commendable as well. Knowing all the cool spots off the beaten track (and the Treasury High Point of course), we are able to record our memories well

Fun, Beautiful and Exciting! The best way to see Petra! - This was exciting, beautiful and a lot of fun! The most important part is the horses were in excellent condition. Feet well trimmed and properly shod and body condition good. Horses were fit and happy. We rode as a family of 4 with our two teen girls (15 & 13). We are reasonable riders and this was a ton of fun - some great mountain trail riding on the way steeper sections and some faster flat sections. Horses were forward but respectful and did not tire over the length of the ride. Scenery was outstanding and we stopped several places for photos. Our guide was happy to take photos and videos of us riding. Really cool little hike from the top to a view point to see the treasury from above. This was a great ride and an even better way to escape the tourists of Petra. Ahmed and team were very concerned that had a great time and nothing was too much to ask. They even found a beautiful, well behaved donkey for our youngest to ride when we returned to the horse point. If you're looking for a ride in Petra book this!

Great horses, great guide, great experience - I'll start with the most important part: the horses were healthy, happy, and very well cared for. My horse had plenty of pep and was clearly enjoying herself. Ahmed was a fun and knowledgeable guide and made the ride even more enjoyable. The views are stunning, and you get to see Wadi Musa from a different vantage point.

Amazing tour, breathtaking views, and solid history lesson - What an amazing tour!! We had a wonderful time with Ahmed and his colleague as we went to some hard to reach places with breathtaking views. Ahmed is very knowledgeable about the local history as it’s his family’s own history to tell. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Petra tour - Ahmed is an incredible tour guide. Without him the experience at Petra wouldn’t have been the same. He was very accommodating and knowledgable about the area. He is also an amazing photographer and ensured that every moment of the tour was captured. He is a kind and experienced tour guide who I highly recommend! Thank you so much for giving us a tour and making this experience unforgettable! 5/5

A wonderful horse ride in the valley of Petra - An amazing experience we can only recommend! We met Ahmad right after the entrance of Petra and he brought us to meet our horses. From then on we started a beautiful 2 hours long ride on the hills of the Petra valley, watching one breathtaking view after the other. He asked us if we wanted to take a very small detour to see the Treasury from above and of course we said yes, so we left the horses for a few minutes to hike on foot to the gorgeous view above the wonder. Ahmad was super nice and helpful throughout the whole experience, happy to explain and tell stories about our surroundings and his people. The horses were very good and responsive. We will for sure never forget this day :)
