This trip was everything I hoped it would be and had been on my bucket list for some time. And it is almost impossible to put into words.
I have been lucky enough to travel with Exodus on numerous occasions, and this trip is one of the best I have ever been on. I was lucky enough to be with a wonderful group of people as well.
The itinerary is perfectly thought through – from the historical sights of Amman and Jerash to the walking at Petra to the occasions to relax (especially at the Red Sea and the Dead Sea.)
Jordan is a stunning country; rich in culture and history with extraordinary landscapes. From the grandeur of Petra to the serenity of the Wadi Rum to the relaxation of the Dead Sea. Jordan really is the total package.
The people of Jordan are amongst the friendliest in the world, and need us as tourists right now. If you are wondering whether it is safe – IT IS!
The transport used was very comfortable with WiFi, charging points and air conditioning on the coach. (Our driver was also great – felt very safe with him at the wheel.)
Wadi Rum
Adventure Holidays to Wadi Rum
The Wadi Rum is otherworldly: a copper valley forged into the sandstone and granite rock of southwest Jordan. You’ve probably seen it already. The desert scenery has been used in a string of Hollywood blockbusters, including the Star Wars franchise, The Martian, Dune and, perhaps mostly famously of all, in Lawrence of Arabia, the 1962 classic about the British lieutenant T.E. Lawrence who is etched into local folklore.
Many of our small-group adventures to Jordan visit Wadi Rum. Take a jeep safari into the dunes and bed down there for the evening, staying in a a private Bedouin camp. Appreciate the changing colours of the sand from sunset to sunrise; after dark, gaze upwards as a galaxy of stars puts on a night-long lightshow.

Kathryn Barrow A Week in Jordan
Debbie Hopkins A Week in JordanThis has been on my bucket list for some time and it did not disappoint. The variety of each day made it feel like so much more than just a week. Petra was even better than I imagined but every location held its magic. Ayyad our guide was superb and so knowledgeable about his country and its history and went above and beyond to give us a memorable trip. Despite all the troubles in neighbouring countries, I never once felt unsafe and in fact with so few tourists, the Jordanians need our support with tourist areas being so quiet (though great as nowhere was crowded and the people are just lovely – everyone was so welcoming wherever we went) It was lovely to end the week at the dead sea and being able to use the lovely facilities at the hotel. After such a busy week, getting a few hours by one of the pools was much needed as well as a float in the famous dead sea.
Sarah Mampilly A Week in JordanAppalling customer service from Exodus on return from my trip. A 5* resort billed as a “standout for many” by Exodus (Holiday Inn Dead Sea) failed to provide functioning air conditioning & was dishonest about it. Despite back and forth for several months, Exodus failed to investigate my complaint claiming they were unable to get a response from a supplier they continue to use and whilst acknowledging my experience was unacceptable, “reassured” (!)me my experience was a “one off”.
