Stretching about 400 miles (650 km) from the hills of Um Qais in the north to the Red Sea in Aqaba, the Jordan Trail takes you through everything from ancient ruins and desert canyons to remote villages and rolling farmland.

It’s a mix of paved roads, rough tracks, and dirt trails—challenging, but incredibly rewarding.

You’ll ride past famous sites like Jerash, Petra, and Wadi Rum, but some of the best parts are the quiet stretches in between—olive groves, sweeping views, and locals offering tea and a smile.

Spring and fall are the best times to go, with milder weather and stunning scenery.

Some cyclists go self-supported, but many team up with local outfitters who can help with logistics, gear, and insider knowledge.

Whether you ride a section or go all in, the Jordan Trail offers an unforgettable way to experience the heart of the country.
