Discover the endless stretches of rugged, sandy landscapes in the wild, open spaces of southern Jordan. Sleep beneath the galaxy and explore the ancient red rock city of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A guided horseback tour will take you beyond this famous landmark, into the depths of the desert to soak in the country’s stunning natural spaces. You can even relax your muscles and read a book as you float on the lowest point of Earth, the Dead Sea.

Jordan: A Rugged Pink Orange Paradise

Jordan is a nation in the desert terrain of the northern Arabian Peninsula. This stunning country will have you feeling like you have trotted into the science fiction world of  Dune , with treeless plains and sweeping stretches of brilliantly vibrant sand.

Home to a diverse range of wildlife, you will delight in catching sight of hares, jackals, hyenas, wildcats, and wolves, to name only a few. Vultures and white fowl may soar above your head. You may even spot a species of wild goat in the gorges.

Wadi Rum is famous for its towering sandstone rock formations so red; you will wonder whether you are horseback riding on Earth or Mars. These rock formations above the village are named the Seven Pillars, in honor of author T.E. Lawrence.

The Dead Sea, perhaps one of the strangest bodies of water, is 1312 feet (400 meters) below sea level and provides plenty of natural resources for spa treatments. Enjoy mud spas that leave your skin smooth, and float on the surface of the sea, to allow your muscles to relax after a day of cantering across the desert.

This arid climate, influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, enjoys warm temperatures and winds that will keep you cool. Be sure to bring loose clothing, a secure hat, and plenty of sunscreen for your horseback riding holiday. No one wants those pesky sunburns while trying to enjoy their trip!

Jordan’s Ancient History and Traditional Culture

Jordan is a land of cities lost to time and of biblical stories that have shaped our societies. Petra is a Nabataean caravan-city, tucked between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea. This ancient city is both built and carved into the rock, flanked by mountains, and forged by passages and gorges. Tick this monumental archaeological site off your bucket-list! This incredible site is a blend of Eastern and Hellenistic architecture and tradition and is an insight into the lives of thousands who came before us. You will delight in exploring this archaic city during your horse-riding holiday.

Beyond Petra, your equestrian holiday will allow you a visit to Mount Nebo, a location significant in the story of Moses. From the banks of River Jordan, if the day is clear, you can even see Jerusalem.

As an integral part of the Arab world, Jordan shares many similar cultural practices of the region. Jordanian culture is rooted in family where they cherish preserving their customs and passing them down to younger generations. You will delight in getting a glimpse into the lives of their warm, hospital nature. Taste their traditional dishes which feature beans, olive oil, yogurt, and garlic.

Horse Tours Club

Horse Tours Club offers a variety of horse-riding holidays with veritable partners across the sweeping coral-coloured plains of Jordan.

Can you imagine a 6-day horseback itinerary into the stunning Wadi Rum desert? Disconnect from the hustle and bustle, and sit back in the saddle, relax, and let your new horse friend take you on an adventure into a landscape and culture you will never forget.

This tour includes a day's exploration of the archaeological site of Petra. Ride from the village of Wadi Rum, over the dunes, and into the Khazali Canyon. Sleep in the valley accompanied by the stars, which will seem only an arm’s length away. Trot to the Burrah Canyon and through the Burdah Arch.

Travel to the famous arch of War Rum, known as Umm Fruth Arch. This bridge of rock rises 49 feet (15 meters) and has attracted photographers and tourists for decades. Let your horse carry you across the Nqura Canyon and take in the stunning, furrowed sight of Jordan’s tallet peak, the Um Ad Dami.

Traverse through the desert and into the Sabet and Sweibet Valley, a wide expanse of wilderness comprised of red and white sand, and black volcano stone. Enjoy the idyllic seaside town of Aqaba on the Red Sea. For those keen on more adventure, you can snorkel the most colorful reefs. Take a dip in the Dead Sea, a salt lake so dense that no fish live there and experience the bizarre feeling of floating on water.

This trip is a whirlwind of galloping towards a sinking orange-red sun, sleeping amongst the cosmos, and unveiling the vast, rolling wilderness of Jordan on horseback.

"Lawrence of Arabia" refers to the British soldier T.E.Lawrence who wrote the autobiographical book Seven Pillars of Wisdom whilst serving as a liason officer with rebel forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks of 1916-1918.

Lawrence was based in the Wadi Rum as a member of the British forces and with the support of Emir Faisal and his tribesmen, carried out attacks on the Ottoman forces from Aqaba in the south to Damascus in the north. Many sites in the Wadi Rum have been named after him and the famous rock formations near the entrance are now known as the Seven Pillars.

The title "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" actually comes from the Book of Proverbs and Lawrence had intended to write a book about seven great cities of the Middle East, but when war broke out he liked the name so much that he kept it for his autobiography.

Our trail ride in Jordan visits many of the sites attributed to Lawrence: Lawrence's house, Lawrence's spring and the Seven Pillars being some of them.

Horseback riding vacations in Jordan

Jordan is a land of romantic associations – from Lawrence of Arabia to the hidden city of Petra.  Hidden Trails offers a fantastic opportunity to discover the treasures of Jordan on a horseback ridingholiday – away from the tourist hordes, in some deeply stunning locations. Whether you bask in the glory of the hidden city of Petra, spend a lazy day bathing in the Dead Sea, or follow in the footsteps of that great equestrian, Lawrence of Arabia, Jordan promises a mystical holiday experience.  Jordan is one of the most welcoming hospitable and countries in the world. You will find the locals eager to talk to you and welcome you into their homes.

Horse Riding in Jordan The Wadi Rum mirrors a moonscape of ancient valleys and towering, weathered sandstone mountains rising out of the white and pink colored sands. A scene right out of the exploits of Lawrence of Arabia and the authentic setting of the film, the Wadi Rum presents many opportunities for long canters across high plateaus. Traveling along old caravan roads offers an encounter with an altogether different world, complete with possible personal invites from the desert dwelling Bedouins.   The highlight of this horse-riding trip is a visit to Petra – the Hidden City. Petra, the jewel in the crown of Jordan's antiquities, has been declared by popular ballot one of the 'new' Seven Wonders of the World. The magnificent rock-hewn city of the Nabateans hardly needed further billing (since Jean Louis Burckhardt discovered it in the 19th century, it has been a favorite destination for Europeans) but at sunset on a winter's day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it's easy to see why it has charmed a new generation of visitors.

Jordan Weather and Climate Jordan is blessed with a Mediterranean climate for pleasurable year-round travel. Amman is sunny and cloudless from May to early November, with average temperatures around 23° C (73 F). Springtime brings optimal weather, lush with greenery, and autumn is equally mild and pleasant. July and August are hot and dry but not oppressive. Because of the capital city’s elevation, evenings are cool.

Horses for Courses: Colonial pedigree puts spotlight on Jordan Spieth in Texas

Horses for Courses

Change Text Size

The 78 th edition of the Charles Schwab Challenge reinforces Colonial Country Club as the longest-serving host venue on the PGA TOUR. Designed by John Bredemus and Perry Maxwell, Colonial opened in 1936 and hosted the U.S. Open in 1941. The PGA TOUR arrived for the 1946 season and has returned annually since.

After the 2023 event, Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner worked their magic in restoring the proud club to the glory days of the early years. Now playing 80 yards longer and tipping out at 7,289 yards, every facet of the par-70 layout was modified.

Emiliano Grillo, winner last year in a playoff over Adam Schenk, leads the invitational field of 132 players to Fort Worth.

Players listed are in the field this week; 2024 season stats.

TifTuf Bermudagrass sod was laid from tee to the approaches of the 007XL Bentgrass greens and all points in between. Colonial requires moving the golf ball both ways off the tee. Ben Hogan’s famous quote reminds us that a straight ball brings nothing but trouble on this layout. The famous breezes that always blow in this part of the world will push poorly-struck tee balls and irons into the rough and tree lines. Controlling the golf ball from less-than-ideal lies to find greens only 5,000 square feet on average will help keep the momentum going. Don’t forget there are four difficult par-3 holes, all ranging 194 yards or longer on the scorecard. Eight of the last 10 winners have ranked in the top 10 gaining shots tee to green. Former champions Grillo (20 th ) and Chris Kirk (30 th ; 2015) relied on red-hot putters instead.

While not the outright tournament favorite, Jordan Spieth (+2200) , the third choice at the BetMGM Sportsbook, is the horse for the course this week. Making his 12 th visit across town from his Dallas home, the 2016 champion also has finished second on three occasions and has racked up nine paydays of T14 or better. Last year provided the only blemish from his previous 11 starts (72-72; MC) and halted his run of 10 consecutive weekends. From 42 career rounds, the native Texan has posted just seven loops above 70 and carries a stroke average of 67.95.

Putting: Birdie or Better Conversion Percentage

Colonial is notoriously stingy for allowing birdies and eagles to pile up on the scorecards. The par-70 track has ranked in the top eight of the most difficult courses to convert birdie chances over the last three seasons. The two par-5 holes play 585 yards and 639 yards and do not score well annually. The quartet of par-3 holes also ranked inside the top 10 the last two seasons. The brand-new 007XL Bentgrass putting surfaces, running between 12 and 13 feet on the Stimpmeter, will add an extra challenge this week. Over the last decade, only one winner finished outside the top 11 in converting birdie chances.

Scottie Scheffler (+275) positioned as the clear betting favorite this week (or any week) is hardly surprising since he sits at the top of the pile in most of the important categories on TOUR. Defeated in a playoff by his friend Sam Burns in 2022, the Dallas resident returned last year, closed with 67, and missed the extra holes by a shot. Over the last two events in Fort Worth, only three players have beaten him.

Bogey Avoidance

Last year, the winning score was 8-under 272, the highest winning total this century. The 2022 edition required 9-under 271, the joint second-highest winning total. There will be bogeys, especially with the new changes for 2024. Holes have been shifted, lengthened and tilted, greens were resurfaced and trees removed. Navigation and shot-making trumps brute strength. Players trying to overpower the course will learn this lesson more quickly than others.

A new baseline will begin with this year’s edition, but history tells us the last three winners have squared eight or more bogeys for 72 holes. Putting squares on the card is survivable when birdies are on offer. That’s not the case this week, or most, at Colonial.

The only time Grillo (+12500) did not play the final 36 holes in eight visits to Fort Worth was the June 2020 edition. The winner in a playoff last year over Schenk, the Argentine survived a double-bogey six on No. 18 but found redemption on the second extra hole. Cashing solo third in 2018 and T8 in 2021, he has five top-25 paydays from seven weekends.

Oddsmaker’s extras

• Chris Kirk (+6000): The 2015 winner missed the cut for the first-time last year. With seven top-25 paydays from 12 weekends, including T15 in 2022, there’s a reason he has played every event since 2011.
• Justin Rose (+6000): Posting 20-under 260 in 2018, the Englishman missed tying Zach Johnson’s tournament scoring record by a shot. After T58 in defense in 2019, he’s painted the top 20 in three of the last four seasons, including T3 in 2020.
• Daniel Berger (+6600): The 2020 champion defeated Collin Morikawa (+1400) in a playoff to win on his third visit. Cashing T20 in defense and T23 in 2022, the man from Florida has played four consecutive weekends when entered.
• Harris English (+3300): Only Sergio Garcia (not entered) has won this event on debut. The former Georgia Bulldog signed for T5 on his first visit in 2012 and has cashed T30 or better in six weekends from eight attempts.
• Tony Finau (+2800): Joining Kirk and Spieth, the big hitter snapped a run of seven straight weekends at Colonial last year. The runner-up in 2019 ran T4 in 2022 and has never cashed outside T34.
• Brendon Todd (+10000): Making his ninth start here, the fairway finder has produced three T8 or better paydays in the last decade.
• Zach Johnson (+20000): Making his 19 th start, the only two-time winner in the field set the tournament scoring record in 2010. From 2010 thru 2013, he never finished worse than solo fourth and won his second title in 2012.
