A completely (if tiring) excellent trip. I can’t beleive the amount we saw and did in one week.
Very knowledgeable and great insight to Jordan, not just the places but the culture too. Organised some great extras too such as the snorkelling boat trip and cave dinner
If you are at all dubious about Jordan - don't be. There are not a lot of tourists at the moment which is great for us as have such a greater experience in Petra and other places but not so good for Jordan itself. Jordan needs you and you won't regret it.
Having just downloaded my photos onto my computer I know realise how lucky I was to go on this trip . Amazing country and incredible historic sites and lots of fun . Its worth it just for Jerash and Petra alone , let alone the experience of sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum and the quiet of the desert . Food’s pretty great too !!
This is hard , there's so many ! I think that my fav moment was sitting in the desert with one of my new friends at night after we had watched the sunset as a group . We let the others return to camp and just sat , suddenly we heard the rocks making noise . We got closer and it got even weirder . Until we realised that the walls of rock around our camp were amplifying and sending the sound out like a speaker and the it was bouncing back at us . Wadi Rum makes you understand why the locals believe in Djinn (spirits) that live in the desert . Amtospheric doesn't even come close , awesome !!!
He was a very nice guy with a big heart and a passion for his country and his religion . He tried to bring us along for the ride and widen our perspectives . For me that is what travel is all about . I was genuinely sad to say goodbye . I think he wanted us to be happy and tried hard to make that happen but he also tried to give us little words of wisdom that might stay with us .
Get fit !!! This sounds like an easy ride but trust me there's lots of climbing and walking for up to 8 hours a day at some points . The first 4 days are full on . Bring walking boots and buy a head scarf in Jordan , very good for keeping the sun off you . The company info and all guide books say you need to cover up more than you do on a cultural level . The Jordanian people seem to appreciate and like westerners , you are kind of given a pass on most stuff . EAT !!!!! Mansaf and Makluba .............delicious !!! Its diet time for me people !
Great trip! We did so much in just one week that I now need another holiday! If you are interested in history and culture , this trip is for you.
A few things which stood out for me. Floating in the Dead Sea. A weired experience , a bit like floating in oil. Petra. What can I say. AMAZING! Sleeping under the stars ( and shooting stars) in the beduine camp and then riding a camel at 6am the following morning. Scuba diving , seeing the corals, colourful fish and even a shipwreck in the Red Sea. ( my first time scuba diving so I was particularly pleased with this.)
Funny, friendly and seemed to know just about everything. Ala was great. He was incredibly organised and was willing to accommodate the group and change plans when some of the group wanted to visit the site of John the Baptist which wasn't on the itinerary. In his own words, " The food is lovely, the weather is lovely. Everything is lovely! "
There is a lot of walking involved so make sure you have comfy shoes. We found that hiking boots were not necessary and in August you certainly didn't need a sleeping bag for the desert. A sleeping bag liner was fine as there were blankets provided. Food and drink was a lot more expensive than I thought but I suspect that there is some sort of two tiered pricing system for tourists. Most meals were between 10 and 13 pounds and cans of soft drink ranged from 1 to 2.50 pounds. Food was good but quite similar wherever you went. I will now not be eating houmous or pitta for quite some time!
One word…. Wow!
I don't know where to start! From floating in the Dead Sea, being touching distance from Israel, having tea with a Bedouin; sleeping and flying in Jeeps over the desert;.... Just brilliant!!
A human encyclopedia! Very knowledgeable and had a passion for the country that was infectious! Watch out for being ripped off for what I suspect was swapped for commission and freebies (meals and stops at shopping places) though.
Do it!
A wonderful holiday, a busy week of sightseeing and history with a brilliant tour guide.
Petra is amazing. The trek off the beaten track with a local guide was really good as was eating with a local Bedouin one evening. The night camping in the desert was fun. Seeing the sun set and rise out there was just lovely. Camel ride in the morning was good.
The group leader was extremely informative, really good English and happy to help with anything. Always on time, very organised and helpful.
Definitely worth a visit. The locals are really friendly people, even during Ramadan! Food isn't as cheap as I imagined but very tasty.
An absolutely wonderful week.I feel completely relaxed and I can’t rave enough about our week in Jordan.
Every day was inspirational.But the highlight was night time in Wadi Rum desert camp, lying under the stars.
Our group leader, Khalid, was awesome.He told us all the regular information but also gave us an insight into what it was like living in Jordan today.
Book this trip!We always travelled independently, but now we have busy careers and not such long holidays.We thought a tour group would not be right for us. But it was so enjoyable, as the guide took us to all the best places that we wouldn't have found on our own.
Jordan is magical. From ancient sites to beaches to deserts to the wonder of Petra there is something for everyone. The people are charming and the food is delicious.
Definitely Petra. As you approach the Treasury building after a 1.2 km walk through the Siq it takes your breath away. The whole of the Petra site has so much to offer with an amphi theatre, tombs, monasteries and the High Place with just a minimum number of market stalls and places you can eat without being swamped.
Our Group Leader, Ala, was excellent. A degree in archaeology certainly helped. He was very knowledgeable without being overbearing. He also knew the best restaurants to eat of an evening and also introduced us to bakeries for snacks and lunch. The driver and him were at our disposal even when it was not part of the official tour e.g. the last night in Amman when the tour had finished, they still came to pick us up in the coach to drive us to the restaurant we asked to go back to from our first night in Amman.
Although it sounds like you need a level of fitness there are always options available if you're not up to it e.g. at Petra you could hire a donkey to take you up to the high places.
An awe inspiring trip.
My long awaited trip to Petra was all, and more than I had wished for. This was followed very closely bythe trip to Wadi Rum. Racing through the desert in jeeps, sitting on the rocks and watching the sun go downwas amazing but best of all was sleeping under the stars. I have never seen skies like it, truly jaw dropping.
There are not enough words to describe Khaled - he was absolutely incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his Country. He was always ready to answer whatever questions were asked and nothing was too much trouble. He had a terrific sense of humour and looked after us all so well. When I suffered from heatstroke on the first day and was rather unwell he was sympathetic, understanding and went out of his way to make sure I was looked after - even carrying me back to the bus when I was extremely unsteady on my feet!!! I don't think we could have had a better guide. I would not hesitate to take another trip if he was the guide.
Read the trip notes, go with an open mind and have fun!!
Jordan is a crucible of ancient civilisation history and the sights of Petra and Jerash do outstand. How we also managed to fit in; getting mudified in the dead sea, seeing the sunrise (alright well not quite) on camel back and dolphin spotting in the red sea into our jammed packed week still baffles me. The only conclusion can be that time stands still in Jordan.
The first glimpse of the Treasury from the Siq - but of course everyone says that. So it would have to be bobbing away in the dead sea for pure comedy value.
Our guide, Alaa, studied archaelogy and was the perfect person to tell us all about the history of Jordan. But at the same time was keen that we should understand Jordan as a modern Isalmic country including its culture, international relations and economy. It was my first trip to the middle east and I certainly learnt a lot!
Stock up on your favourite tipple at duty free as its quite hard to find anything once you've landed (and not that cheap either).
Full on week in a fascinating country.
Obvious highlights were Petra and Wadi Rum but pleasantly surprised by Jerash & Aqaba.
Really enthusiastic.
This tour is a sightseeing tour - don't expect too much adventure! Interest in culture & history is a must.
