Amman Riders organise discovery tour across Kingdom

Jerash — The Amman Riders Motorcycle Rally has organised a tour dubbed "Discover Jordan", with the participation of motorcycle enthusiasts from Jordan and other Arab countries.

During an interview with The Jordan Times, Khaled Abu Tawileh, the rallies coordinator, said that the rally aims to promote Jordan and encourage local and foreign tourism.

It also seeks to introduce riders to touristic, archaeological and historical areas in Jordan, according to Abu Tawileh. 

During the ride, motorists will have the chance to drive through "beautiful" routes and enjoy the Kingdom's sceneries during spring.

The riders started their tour on Friday from the lowest point on Earth — the Dead Sea — moving on to the verdant north of the Kingdom including Jerash, Ajloun and Deir Alaa to finally head back to the Dead Sea. 

On Saturday, they headed towards the south of the Kingdom, passing through Petra and ending up in Aqaba port city.

Abu Tawileh stressed that participants were requested to abide by the safety and traffic rules.

The Amman Riders Rally is organised each year in March, attracting riders from across the region, especially from the Gulf countries, according to the group's Facebook page.
