More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A saddle creaks, sand shifts under hoof, and the Gulf of Aqaba opens in a band of impossible blue. From the riding ring you move into the desert: low white dunes give way to a narrow beach where coral gardens edge shallow water. On a clear day the sea dares you to lean forward and look — reef and rock both alive beneath the surface.
