Tourist routes have reopened at the ancient site of Petra in southern Jordan after flash floods engulfed the UNESCO world heritage site earlier this week.

Ranch Rider recently added Jordan to its riding holiday collection. The specialist tour operator’s Follow the Nabateans Ride is new for 2022, with the first trip scheduled for September. Skilled traders, the Nabateans migrated from Arabia in the 6th century BC into Southern Jordan, where they built their magical, stone-hewn capital city, Petra, a major highlight of the adventure.
