This is the second edition of the 4-day Cross Country Marathon (XCM) Stage Race is a cultural and historical journey through time that cannot be experienced anywhere else on earth.
The terrain, change in climate from one stage to the next, and the historical sites along the route make this one of the most unique races on earth.
It is an individual race format across jeep tracks, through old villages, over challenging climbs, and across breathtaking scenery.
The Arabian Epic Team have invested a lot of time to make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience and find routes that can challenge every rider. With approximately 200km riding and over 5,000m of climbing, this race offers each participant an adventure through time and self discovery.
After a tough and enlightening day in the saddle, you will arrive back to amazing Arabian Hospitality and full use of the hotel facilities. At the end of Stage 2, you can enjoy a mud bath and swim (float) in the Dead Sea, refreshments and great camaraderie.
We guarantee an experience that cannot be had anywhere else on earth and promise that you will be leaving Jordan with lifelong friends, treasured memories and a great experience mountain biking in the Middle East.
