Tour Character
Jordan is the most sought after of tourist destinations, there is little
doubt that were it not for clouded politics and media driven
perceptions, the ancient Persian world would be high on the list of
places that would satisfy any adventure touring enthusiast. In an age of
rapidly shifting political landscapes this first Motorcycle venture into
Jordan will allow participants to come to some real understanding of a
people, its culture and history in a way that so very few can or are
willing to explore. Why Jordan? Because we can and we should.

Motorcycles Recon Riders will fly to Amman,
Jordan. Already the exotica begins in this fascinating and colorful
city. Air arrangements will be prearranged for a forward flight to the
distant eastern edge of Jordan and the Amman city where the fleet of
motorcycles will be pre-positioned and ready for a one week adventure
into Jordan. The tour will return to Amman with again flights arranged
back home.
Travel Visas:
You'll need them. A Jordan visa is acquired on
arrival in Amman airport for $15 US. Obtaining a visa for Amman is
straightforward however will require more lead time to process the

Tour Participants:
Needless to say if one does not posses tolerance, acceptance of foreign
cultures and a willingness to work within the system rather than trying
to change it, this ride is not for you. In spite of this advisory, all
indications are that the people are extremely welcoming, are by nature
friendly and are as curious of western ways as we are certain to be
about theirs. Graciousness is inherent.
