Donkey Ride in Jordan 2025
A donkey trip across the ancient city of Petra is one of the most exotic experiences available in Jordan
Best time: March–May | September–November
Seeing as this cute animal is a bit slow and the Hidden City is so wide and rich in monuments worth seeing, it may be somewhat difficult to see it all atop a donkey. Still, if you have a plenty of time, such a leisurely pace is even better, for it ensures that travelers won't miss any single detail of this marvellous place. On the other hand, mind that donkeys are not as strong as horses or camels so keeping your trip short to avoid abusing these poor animals is a good idea. The high season for this style of trip is spring and fall.
