A true experience. My wife thought the best holiday she has had.
Reaching the high place of sacrifice at Petra.Wierdest Floating in the Dead Sea
Very good and both proud and knowledgable about his country
Just to go with an open mind and enjoy the trip
A very varied trip, history, a bit of walking, culture, desert, snorkelling, pilgrimage, plenty of sun. Jordan has it all…
Lots of inspirational moments, but the walk through the canyon (Siq) and seeing the Treasury at Petra gradually coming into sight has to be the moment, especially with the full mid-morning sun making it rosy. It is better than can be imagined.Caking ourselves in mud from the Dead Sea and floating in it was amazing--your skin feels 20 years younger.Seeing the majesty of the desert at sunset and sleeping in a camp bathed in moonlight, then starlight, watching the shooting stars and gradually the sunrise.Snorkelling in the Red Sea and seeing the beautiful coral reefs, floating amongst shoals of colourful fishVisiting biblical sites, and seeing the promised land as Moses did!
Very personable, full of historical knowledge and worked very hard to please a large (20 people) group. Age range in our group was mid-twenties to mid seventies, so everyone needed something different and Danny coped extremely well. Jordan is a Muslim country and alcohol availability is sparse, but he made an effort to get us to available off-license as appropriate and recommended restaurants where wine was available. Did a lot of phoning around to make arrangements for individuals. Great guy!
Prepare to be amazed at what Jordan has to offer. It has a wealth of history as well as beautiful landscapes and really friendly people. With only a 2hr time difference, a wonderful week in a very different environment without coping with jet lag on return is a definite bonus. It is worth doing some reading on some of the historical stuff before you go. Also there is the opportunity to snorkel or dive one day, to ride a camel in the desert, to experience the spa effects of the Dead Sea and come back laden with Dead Sea products.
With the current political situation, there was a degree of concern about being in such a volatile area of the world. but we need not have worried, Jordan is such a safe, relaxed and easy going country, and we were cared for so well by Danni, our guide.
This trip is highly recommended for anyone who wants to get to know a country well, and who doesn’t have much time. Full-on, but with Time to come up for air, I heartily recommend not just this trip, but Exodus as an organiser who really knows how to care for their customers.
Having climbed to the high places above The Treasury in Petra, and to be quite alone in such stunning surroundings, having followed a suggestion from our brilliant guide , the desert calm and the amazing colours that ARE Petra take your breath away. Nobody should consider themselves a Middle East traveller until they have experienced this.
This is my fourth Exodus trip, and on every one we have enjoyed great guides. Danni was no exception. His knowledge of the trip, the places, the people and the history made each day 'come alive'. We left Jordan with a real appreciation for the country, it's people, and it's scenery - and Danni was largely responsible for this. On a trip like this, the guide can make or break things and he most certainly 'made it'. Score:- 9.99/10 (on principle I never give 10 so this is the best i could give!)
Take a good camera for Petra - its the only way to relive the colours when back home. Take a waterproof camera for the Dead Sea and the Red Sea, and an insulated cover for a water bottle (Lowe Alpine do a great one) so that you have blissfully cold water when all around you are drinking tepid water.
A fascinating and varied week with a great blend of culture and delicious food.
Looking up at the stars in Wadi Rum.
Danny was a great leader. Very proactive in terms of helping everyone on the tour, stepping in for example when I had received a terrible exchange rate at the airport! Outstanding knowledge of Jordan and it's history and brilliant choice of restaurants.
I was worried about 'covering up' and took long sleeved tops and trousers and long shorts. In fact, short sleeved t shirts and shorts (though obviously not too short) are fine when going round placed like Petra where there are lots of other tourists. I would recommend lots of changes of clothes, particularly tops, and Petra is very dusty and you get pretty dirty... I wish I'd taken more.You don't need to take a sleeping bag for Wadi Rum - they have lots. Mine took up half my suit case and I didn't really need it. You might want to take a sleeping bag liner and maybe a pillow case cover. If your guide suggests the boat trip in Aqaba I would definitely recommend it. It was fantastic - lovely boat, snorkling if you fancy it and a really nice crew.
This was such a perfect holiday. I saw everything I wanted to see in Jordan and more.
Petra had to be the highlight, but looking out from Mount Nebo and swimming in the Dead Sea were amazing too.
Khaled was simply fantastic. Thoughtful, intelligent and passionate about introducing us to his country. He struck an excellent balance between taking us round as a group and giving us time to explore separately.

A true adventure, combining amazing sightseeing with swift immersion into the life and atmosphere of the Jordanian people and the Middle East. The whole experience being enhanced by the seamless arrangements of your local guide, driver and handling agents.
First view of The Treasury at PetraThe journey through the "secret" way into Petra led by the amazing lady Bedouin guideThe optional balloon trip over the desert in Wadi Rum (arranged at our request by Khalid our guide at a few hours notice)The genuine kindness and welcome offered by the Jordanian people, both young and old, everywhere we went.
5 *****. Very capable affable and in clear control of all aspects of the trip
Take good light weight walking boots.
So much more than expected. A guide who was passionate and informative about his Country meant that this trip was elevated from great to AMAZING.There’s so much more to Jordan than I realised, great food, respectful and friendly people, plus all the exceptional historical sites up close and personal.I can recommend that you reset your compass to Jordan.
So many... Beautiful sunsets in the Wadi RumHot air Ballooning over the Wadi RumJerash...who knewand of course Petra
Khaled was great. He got the balance absolutely right. We had a mixed group with several interests and abilities, however he was able to satisfy the explorer in all of us. Nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge was boundless.
you'll need at least two t-shirts per day! It's hot and there's a fair amount of walking. Jordan is fairly westernised so whilst being respectful, shorts and t-shirts are fine for all.
I can’t fault this trip! Beautiful sights, amazing history and a wonderful group made this holiday one of the most memorable I’ve been on. Also a huge thanks to both Danny and Sadam who took care of us during this tour – both informative and friendly!
There were several moments during this trip which I will remember forever. Floating in the dead sea and snorkelling of the boat in Aqaba were great fun.However the best bits for me were sitting around the camp fire listening to stories from Danny whilst looking at the gorgeous night sky in Wadi Rum and also getting to the viewpoint in Petra and looking out at everything. Truly astonishing holiday.
Danny Haddad was a fantastic tour leader. He was informative, friendly and passionate about the subject which made it all the more excellent.
I'd thoroughly recommend doing the snorkelling boat tour in Aqaba. The lunch on the boat was wonderful - grilled fresh fish, fresh salad, potatoes...and then snorkelling off the boat was excellent. Well worth the price!
A fantastic trip through Jordan. Very well-paced to allow plenty of time in Petra and Wadi Rum.
Hiking as a group in Petra without seeing any other tourists.
A great tour guide--professional, fun, and educational
Take this trip! Unlike others where you get a day in Petra, this trip allows for you to immerse yourself in this incredible city.
An outstanding trip with a really good mixture of sights and activities. The trip was very well organised and gave a great snapshot of Jordan.
It has to be one of the following:The second day in Petra (walking in via an alternative route to the Siq and getting away from crowds then the High Place of Sacrifice). That was topped off by also doing Petra at night. OrThe 4x4 trip round Wadi Rum combined with sleeping under the stars and a camel ride the next day.
Our tour leader, Khaled, was very good. There were clearly some bits of the trip he is more enthusiastic about then others (he isn't a fan of Petra by night, for example) but he was always amusing, always helpful and had a good feel for (1) how much time to spend telling us about where we were and (2) the right amount of time to leave us alone to explore for ourselves.
Go on this trip is the best answer I can give to the advice question.
