The dream of having a mountain bike trail in Jordan isn’t very far-fetched, at least not anymore – all you need is a little space, a couple friends, and a whole lot of passion.

Nestled between the hidden parks of Amman’s airport road, amongst the uphill roads and slopes of the Jordanian terrain, a group of mountain bike enthusiasts has been working day and night to build one of Amman’s first mountain bike trails.

Complete with bumps, turns, curves, and a lot of jumps, the trail has become the perfect getaway for Jordanian bike riders. Surrounded by nothing but a quiet forest, it’s where bikers go to unwind and practice.

The building process has been going on for almost two years now, mostly with the help of the riders, friends, and volunteers. A longer trail outside of Amman is currently under construction as well.

Mother nature didn’t go easy on the trail. After each rainfall, the riders had to re-dig the trail and re-mark it’s route. That, in addition to cleaning up after the casual park goers who sometimes visit the park to barbeque.

With more than 50 mountain bikers in Jordan, this trail is the first of many to be built, and ushers in a new era of mountain bike races that will soon be part of the Jordanian sports scene.
