Full-day private Dead Sea trip from Amman with hotel beach access, mud and floating time, optional lunch, and smooth AC transport.
“I took the trip to the dead sea and enjoyed it a lot. My driver Bassam was very nice and told me a lot of interesting things about Jordan and made sure I had a great time! The food at the Resort was amazing as well, I can very much recommend it.”
Small-group Wadi Rum Jeep tour with a Bedouin lunch and tea. Stops include Lawrence Spring, rock bridges, and sunset views.
“Our guide (Bakhir's cousin) didn't speak much english, and wasn't able to answer our questions. He looked pretty disinterested the entire trip and didn't talk much. He did not explain the stuff that we were seeing. The jeep itself was a veRead more”
Private Wadi Rum 4x4 tour from Aqaba with lunch, Bedouin tea, optional camel ride, and sunset stops. Great views, real desert pace.
“This tour is definitely a full day tour. The Bedouins are very friendly and welcoming. It does require a bit of walking, hiking, and climbing (optional), but it was totally worth it because the views were breathtaking. This was such an amazing experience. We will be repeating this tour when we return.”
Full-day Wadi Rum 4x4 tour with a local Bedouin guide, canyons and arches, Bedouin picnic lunch, tea breaks, and sunset at Um Sabatah.
“It was my first time in the desert. I had a great time thanks to Abdul and his team. The camel ride, camping, our truck tour and the cooking was all axceptionl.”
Private Petra shore excursion from Aqaba with Wadi Rum drive, local guide, Siq to The Treasury walk, and lunch, plus port pickup and drop-off.
“I'm on a 111 day world cruise.. I have already done 79 days. Petra has been by far the highlight of the cruise. Over 1,200 people on the ship used the cruise ships excursion package to reach Petra.. my friend and I with a handful of others used Viator. We had the most fun, got tRead more”
Private 6-hour Petra tour with Bedouin guide, start via Little Petra to Monastery, included lunch in a local cave home.
“This was the perfect way to experience Petra! Abdullah knows a lot of the local history and the modern scholarship. My trip felt like I was taking it with a friend.”
Aqaba Red Sea snorkeling boat trip with two stops, coral gardens, turtles, and a Jordanian buffet lunch, plus drinks and easy comfort.
“This was scheduled as a snorkel trip, however it was clearly primarily a dive trip with snorkellers aboard. This made it a poor choice as the two drive sites were over fairly deep water about 20 meters and not suitable for snorkelling but good for diving. The second of the two dive sites was closer to the shore but the wind on our day made it difficult to get to the shore where the snorkelling was unless you were strong swimmers. Really unsure about safety as we seemed unsupervised for most of the time and a couple struggled. On the plus side the boat was good as well as the…”
One-day Petra trip from Eilat with border assistance, small-group guided highlights, buffet lunch, and smooth return by evening.
“Mohammed was an excellent guide. he was friendly, knowledgeable and really knew his stuff. He was flexible and didn't pressure us to do anything we didn't want to. I would highly recommend him. Petra was amazing, but I'm sure lots of people say that and it's true.”
Private panoramic Amman tour with Citadel views, souks, Jabal al-Weibdeh, plus mezze lunch or dinner. Optional Jordan wine tasting.
“This is a great tour with a great guide, but be advised that an evening tour may occur at a time when the Citadel and Roman Amphitheatre may be closed. This is a driving tour and if you want a guide at each stop, you'll have to procure one then.”
Two-stop boat scuba in Aqaba with wreck and reef sites, full buffet lunch onboard, equipment, instructor support, and a 6-hour day.
“Had a great time with the team. Thanks for an amazing experience and for my first time scuba diving.”
Wadi Rum full-day desert safari with 4x4 routes, Lawrence landmarks, sandboarding, optional camel ride, Bedouin lunch, and sunset tea.
“To był niezwykły dzień na Wadi Rum! Zamówiliśmy tylko wycieczkę na pół dnia, bo nie mieliśmy zbyt wiele czasu. Nasz przewodnik Ahmed był bardzo grzeczny, miły i dbał o nas, żeby niczego nam nie brakowało. Zna wiele interesujących historii związanych z pustynią, ponieważ mieszka na niej od dziecka. Tak dopasował program wycieczki, żebyśmy zdążyli obejrzeć wszystkie najważniejsze atrakcje. Świetnie się razem bawiliśmy. Bardzo chcielibyśmy przyjechać na dłuższy czas na Wadi Rum, ponieważ to wspaniałe miejsce.”
Private Amman highlights with a guide and Roman theatre, Citadel, and mosque stops. Add Arabic mezze lunch or a Turkish bath.
“Loved, loved, loved, the lunch. Driver pleasant, and helpful.”
Private Amman day trip to Madaba mosaics, Mount Nebo views, and a Dead Sea Spa Resort lunch plus saltwater float with transport.
“Good driver concerned that we were enjoying our visit. Explained things along the way. Interesting places to visit and the Dead Sea is great fun”
A 10-hour Wadi Rum jeep safari with Bedouin backcountry access, camel ride, sandboarding, sunset views, and a simple lunch. From $59.
“This experience was truly amazing and our driver Ahmed was fun. However, when you book this tour, be aware that you’re gonna do a lot of hiking. It’s not really a tour – the driver brings you to different locations in the desert but leaves you to explore by yourself, which can be either great or unpleasant, depending on what type of traveller you are. The tour itself is a bit overpriced, given your guide really just drives you to places and doesn’t do much else (and the lunch is very minimal), but the experience is still wonderful mostly because of all the sights you get to indulge in. I…”
Private 4x4 Wadi Rum day tour with a cooked lunch, big-name viewpoints like Lawrence Spring and sunset at Um Frouth, plus flexible timing.
