With daily departures from Jerusalem, this thorough tour is ideal for those who want to spend more time exploring these Jordanian highlights. The tour picks up in Jerusalem, drives through the desert, and crosses the border into Jordan, then travels towards the port city of Aqaba with time to explore at leisure, before travelling to Wadi Rum.

Incredible Experience!

08-Apr-2023

We had an incredible experience with this tour. The accommodations surpassed our expectations. The guides were kind and helpful. The best way to see so many places, as it would be difficult to plan on your own. If you’re between choosing the two day or three day your, choose the three day as extra time in Petra was definitely needed!

Pierre

Fantastic Experience!

12-Apr-2023

The tour was no less than fantastic! I am a flight attendant who has seen many places such as Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon, The Great Wall of China, but your tour beats it! First, it is well organized. Second, tour guide polite, patient, and funny. Third, instead of seeing things, we are living it. Fourth, the campground is amazing and super clean ( a dream place to be), and food was good. Fifth, customs procedures are long but very well organized. Sixth, everywhere we went, the staff was very pleasant This trip was one of the few thrills of my life! And to top it up, the gang I was with happened to be so much fun!

Giuseppe
