A WEEK IN JORDAN

A brilliant trip – the itinerary was jam-packed with some amazing sights and experiences, and we had a lovely tour group. The two days in Petra were fantastic – although some of the walks weren’t exactly "leisurely" at times, they were well worth it for seeing The Monastery and Petra from up high.

A Week in Jordan – A FANTASTIC Week in Jordan! A jam-packed week touring Jordan, taking in all the highlights. Wadi Rum, Jerash, the Dead Sea, Amman, the Red Sea and the Awe Inspiring Petra!

Most Inspirational Moment

There were a few top class moments... Our first glimpse of the Treasury and the view of the Monastery.The rarely visited view of the Treasury - from above!Petra at night.The ruins of Jerash.Camping in Wadi Rum, desert meal and the beautiful clear sky. Floating in the Dead Sea, Snorkelling in the Red Sea.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Mo, was excellent. A historian who loved his country, history and archaeology. He explained everything in great depth, spent time to answer our questions and looks after us impeccably. He also organised a private yacht for us in the Red Sea, took us to fabulous restaurants and took the adventurous of us to the top of the Treasury for a fabulous and rarely visit view.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just go. We had a great time and would have no qualms about recommending to a friend.

A good trip, with the choice of sights in the country exactly what we wanted. A lot was covered – don’t expect lots of lie-ins on this trip! Petra was the star attraction when we booked and the trip spent a good amount of time here with excellent coverage and options.

Most Inspirational Moment

The first sight of the Treasury at Petra was awesome. We did it by night, as recommended by the tour guide, which was an excellent tip. The whole experience of Petra exceeded the high expectations we had!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Enthusiast, knowledgeable, engaging - although he sometimes struggled with time management.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Jordan is an excellent country full of interesting sights and deep history, and the people are very friendly and welcoming. It would be best to have some Jordanian currency on you at arrival and not rely on local facilities. Our flight times also meant that as a week off from work there was little downtime on returning. If you get motion sick, come prepared with tablets for the Red Sea and desert 4x4s. Finally, have a great time!

It would be hard to think of a more varied and inspiring trip encompassing the ancient world, natural history, lovely local people and fine cuisine. Our guide really was a polymath of inspiration, knowledge and good humour.

Most Inspirational Moment

The blissful silence and exquisite colours of Wadi Rum and the desert Bedouin camp reminded one of how much simple pleasures are still central to the human experience and our contemplative side.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent - a man for all seasons and travellors with asense of adventure.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Try to do a few "local" things yourself. There's plenty of opportunity.

Great way to see Jordan

This holiday covers all main sites and attractions in Jordan. It’s packed with things to do and there is a great mixture of different activities.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hiking in Petra, which many tourists do not get to do.The 4x4 ride in the desert, followed by sunset, food, dancing and then a silence that you cannot get anywhere else.Snorkelling in the red sea is like entering a completely new world.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was really friendly, helpful and most importantly very knowledgeable. We were a small group, so he tried to accommodate different people's needs and helped getting good bargains when shopping. I spend additional days on my own, met other tour guides and none were anywhere near as good as the exodus group leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

On some days you might have to be adaptable in terms of food as you don't get much choice in some tourist areas. If you are spending additional days on your own as a solo female traveller, make sure you have enough appropriate clothes for a muslim country.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get involved and make the most of getting to know the group and you'll have an awesome time!

A Week In Jordan

A magical whirlwind of the highlights of Jordan. Each day was entirely different with activities ranging from exploring ancient ruins to floating in the Dead Sea and snorkelling in the Red Sea.

Most Inspirational Moment

Petra by night + star gazing at Wadi Rum.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very knowledgable, highly accommodating and great fun. However, he did seem to have worked out the restaurant and shop stops to his advantage, but really - who can blame him?!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do some pre-holiday reading as a basic knowledge of the book of Exodus along with Roman and Nabotean history will add to your experience.

A WEEK IN JORDAN

Jordan is both facinating and welcoming. It was a really enjoyable trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Petra was amazing, especially at the Monastery and high places. Walking back through the quite candle-lit Siq after the Petra by Night experience was also beautiful. Jerash was impressive and interesting, a much larger and more complete site than I had expected. Riding camels in the Wadi Rum was fun, especially trying to ride 'side-saddle' like the Bedouin!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fine, knowledgable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared to be hot and dusty and climb a lot of steps! It helps to be physically fit to get the best experience of Petra and climb to all the high places (e.g Monastery, High Place of Sacrifice, above the Royal Tombs to overlook the Treasury) - it is hard work to do it all in two days, especially in the heat, but well worth the effort!

A great introduction into a country rich in history. The tour encompassed both archaeology, history, scenery, as well as some days by the sea!

Most Inspirational Moment

Stunning Petra! The size of this city far exceeded my expectations. Seeing the stars at night at Wadi Rum! And lastly but not least, I can float!!! As a non-swimmer I thought I couldn't but in the Dead Sea everyone can!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was very knowledgeable. He was courteous and attentive and helpful. He was always willing to answer any question and was a source of insight into the life of the Jordanians, their politics, and social customs and lifestyle.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Others have advised on taking wet wipes and toilet roll. I would however urge all travellers to take toilet roll with them into the lavatories as they seldom have any, and you do not want to find this out too late! I would advise caution at the Wadi Rum camp, as I had an upset stomach after eating there. Don't expect anyone to speak fluent English. If you can, it is best to avoid alcohol I feel as it is clearly disapproved of in Jordan.

What an interesting country. Petra was amazing, Wadi Rum was stunning and we really enjoyed riding camels through the desert. Couldn’t believe we could ride camels through Wadi Rum in the morning, and snorkel in the Red Sea in the afternoon.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the high places of Petra - seeing the size of the site.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Dougan was very knowledgeable and patient. He was a pleasure to be with and his dance moves needed to be seen!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take US Dollars and change into Jordanian Dinars once you are there (this was Exodus' advice to us and worked very well).
