THE MIDDLE EAST
The Middle East is growing in popularity as a tourist destination and, additionally, as a place to cycle. The ancient lands of Jordan and Israel are steeped in mythology and host the earliest civilisations. Enjoy Israel, one of the most cosmopolitan countries in the Middle East and experience the authenticity of Jerusalem, the beaches of Tel Aviv and the stunning port of Jaffa. Our cycling holidays will take you to the the Negev desert home to ancient Bedouin traditions and deep red canyons and into Jordan where the city of Petra is an absolute must for any visitor.

The Best Cycling Holidays in the Middle East For Families
As a relatively new cycling destination, families are often not yet aware of the wonders of the Middle East. Riding in Jordan and Israel will be unlike any other cycling experience in the world. The expansive mountainous landscape is a dotted with ancient ruins and castles. Families will love this alternative holiday and won’t regret travelling somewhere beyond the typical cycling tourist spots. The Mountain Biking in Jordan holiday is the most appealing for families with adventure, culture and the famous Dead Sea providing excitement for all family members. At more than 400m below sea level, floating on the salty waters is a bucket list experience that, whatever age, will be one of the highlights of the trip.
The Best Trips in the Middle East on a Budget
Our trips in the Middle East are, due to their action packed itineraries and once-in-a-life-time adventures, generally more expensive than a holiday in Europe. This is because the experience is unique to the area and, as such, you won't be able to find anything similar anywhere else in the world. However, due to the connections and relationships we have with different organisations in Jordan and Israel and the experience we have in organising trips for customers, we are able to offer these holidays at a significantly lower price than you will find anywhere else and, in turn, provide a better, fully inclusive holiday package for you. Travelling with Love Velo is the best way to experience the Middle East by bike and you won't regret making the decision to come along!
