Highly recommended! Do it!

27-Jun-2023

This tour was amazing, truly one of a kind and exceeded my expectation. The tour guide, Nizar Ali, made it a 6-star…too bad I can’t put 6-star. Highly recommended. But must warn you: it’s hot.

Great Trip - Lots Packed Into a Short Time

22-Feb-2023

My wife and I joined this tour in February. It was a memorable tour. The value is quite good. It is not a private tour, so you will be travelling with many other people. The company tries to maximize the number of people on the bus, which is understandable/reasonable. The trip involves a LOT of driving in a short period, but you will see Aqaba, Wadi Rum, beautiful rural spots in Jordan and Petra and then return to Jerusalem all in a 48 hour period. It is a pretty intense itinerary but that is to be expected. This is something you could not do on your own! So be ready for a lot of driving. Highlights included the jeep tour in Wadi Rum, the overnight camp in Wadi Rum. Make sure you read Tourist Israel's clear guidelines about what you need to bring with you to cross the Israel/Jordan border, as there are fees and cash is the best way to pay. The company has reps on both sides of the border to help you through (you must cross on foot). The tour will take you to an ATM in Aqaba if you want to obtain Jordanian dinars (obviously the best currency to use in Jordan). Our guide (Mithqal) was excellent and he had a good sense of humor.

Trip of a Lifetime!

05-Nov-2022

Our experience was amazing! Wadi Rum was an unexpected pleasure especially our stay at the Bedoin Camp. Karem, our guide was professional and knowledgeable. It was obvious he enjoyed sharing his culture. The drive was long from Jerusalem but the driver was very safe and careful. I highly recommend this journey.

Amazing days in Jordan, a MUST!

07-Aug-2023

Amazing experience in Jordan. Tour guide Wael was knowledgeable, funny, and patient. Amazing experience though wish bus had usb charger plugs. Petra was amazing. Wadi Rum Bedouin Camp was amazing. The first driver didn’t speak much English and we didn’t know much of what was going on but Wael made up for him.
