Reviews
GUEST REVIEWS
Eric (France) - December 2024

A quick point:
The cavalry (and tack): very good considering the country and more than sufficient. Educated horses, hardy. Comfortable saddles.
The chosen hotel ("luxury") nothing to say.
Guides: very professional, competent (graduated hikes in rhythm), attentive, pleasant, very dedicated, very educated.
Wadi Rum: rarely seen something as beautiful on horseback. Sumptuous.
Petra and Little Petra: rides less good than in Wadi Rum but it is true that you can't do better (1 day)
Logistics (meals during the day in particular): perfect. Excellent general organization, no missteps, schedules respected to the letter.
Small group of 3 people. Perfect understanding.
Thank you Didier for this beautiful trip. To recommend to those around me.
 

Philippe & Michel (France) With the Dead Sea extension - October 2024

Michel and I were very satisfied with this trip.
In Petra, we had an excellent guide, very cultured and speaking good French, who accompanied us for 2h30mn to the foot of the path leading to the Monastery.
In Wadi Rum we appreciated the availability and kindness of our guide Sameeh. Always listening to us, he spared no effort to help us, show us and describe the magnificent landscapes of the desert. Mid-day breaks a little long that could be shortened when the weather conditions allow, which was the case during our stay.
Good responsiveness also from Emmanuelle to resolve the few problems on arrival at the Bedouin camp of Wadi Rum.
Excellent punctuality of the taxi drivers during the various transfers.
The lunch baskets of the first 2 days left something to be desired. But then those cooked, at lunchtime and in the evening, were much better.
Very good Arabian horses: docile and tireless.
On the website, the detailed program would deserve to be updated to take into account the local regulatory constraints that have evolved in Wadi Rum and the recommendations of our equestrian guide.
In summary, congratulations to all the teams and we will now focus on the hikes in Saudi Arabia.
Kind regards.
Philippe and Michel.
 

Stéphanie (France) Confort + with the Dead Sea extension - May 2024

Welcoming, responsive and very attentive team.
My mare, Samira. very adapted to my level (low), also very reassuring and comfortable. My daughter was very happy with her horse too, more lively, adapted to her level and to her needs.
We really enjoyed the tea and local dishes at Wadi Rum camp, as well as the comfort. Seven wonders: very good surprise, on all levels. For the other hotels (Petra and Madaba), the buffet is nothing more, very common, but we didn't come for that. Impeccable cleanliness throughout the stay.
1st experience with cap rando: we recommend, and we will come back! well done to the local team and Ahmad in particular (. Very good choice of horses, on which the ride depends. 
Cap Rando  Services: very appreciated, for a last minute registration!
 

Sorin (France) - Comfort option - March 2023

rando cheval JordanieA ride which turns very well, under control. It is sometimes necessary to ask and clarify some details: type organization of the days / program, the transfers. If not, very nice team, very good horses. To recommend !
Very focused on safety. Nothing to say.
My horse: Amir ! A great horse, which responds to all commands without problems. Some elements of the tack can be renewed. But overall ok.
Very good meals, comfort ok. Always possibilities for improvement, as of running water, sometimes there was no cold water... so washing only with very hot water... difficult
Very nice ride, to do with your eyes closed, but keep them open for the landscapes. ! ;)
Cap Rando services: Very good follow-up, with all the details given on time and even better, having the local contact, to exchange directly. Maybe improve the website with the description of the daily rides: progressive or not. Provide information on local specificities (of the Ramadan type period, etc.).

Marine (France) - Camping option - October 2022

Very caring welcome, we had nothing to manage, only to let ourselves be carried away.
Marmoud (the guide) and Amhed (his partner) are very welcoming, caring and available. We share real beautiful moments of exchange. Marmoud perfectly manages the safety of riders.
The horses are in very good condition and the guide really takes care of them. We feel that he loves them, that he preserves them as much as possible during the week, that he takes care of them. He is very vigilant about their condition, gives them time to recover, they are well fed and pampered.
Saddle with sheepskin provided, top comfort !
We ate very well. The night under the stars is spartan, but that's exactly what you're looking for in this kind of experience !
Management of my registration by Cap Rando Cheval: Smooth follow-up, perfect travel file, nothing to complain about !
In short: A magical ride, far from everything, where only serenity reigns. A week full of meetings, discoveries, local and gourmet dishes, exchanges, laughter, sensations, freedom. We take full eyes and full heart. Happiness !
