My Amman Life

List updated in late 2024.

One of my favorite parts of Jordan is the landscape and a few weekends ago I got to experience new views on horseback at the Al Reef Equestrian Club ( مركز الريف الاردني للفروسية). Located about 1 hour outside of Amman in Jalad, Salt, it’s a beautiful place to spend time outdoors.

Since posting this back in 2017, things have changed and we’ve been exploring horseback riding for other reasons than just filling a weekend with no plans. Why did things change? Kids! That means this time around when we were scoping out horseback riding it was for classes. Currently, my son does horseback riding at Alia Alassaf Academy in Madaba. Private classes are about 25 JD for 30 minutes. Here are some other equestrian clubs and academies where you can find everything horse activity-related:
