Far exceeded expectations! Must book!
Rupali_P, Mar 2024
What a memorable and wonderful trip! Many many thanks to Ahmed who took us around all these places. He took care of us - family of 4 with 2 kids, just like his family. He gave a lot of information. Took some amazing pictures. Even treated us with some snacks on the road. The Rum Magic Nights camp in Wadi rum exceeded our expectations. The deluxe tent was beautiful - with all the amenities. It was very clean. The food was super delicious. It felt that everything was prepared served with a lot of love and care. All the staff at camp were very welcoming and pleasant. Our add in trip to Red sea was great. Got to see some cool coral reefs. We went to Holiday Inn dead sea resort. Food was great and all the facilities good. They have showers/changing rooms/towels. Make the most of this. Take swimming clothes/change of clothes/comb etc. It is a very refreshing and unique experience. We wish we would have planned more days in Jordan. It is very clean, safe, friendly. Will be back! Thanks again to Ahmed !
Everything I hoped it would be, and more.

This was a very well organized trip, it had everything we wanted and more! Our driver, Murad, was a wonderful driver who provided insights along the way. The timing of our stops at Petra and the Dead Sea felt exactly right. We had plenty of time to experience the area and were appropriately exhausted when we got back to the car. Wadi Rum was magical and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Our accommodations were very comfortable, the food was great and plentiful and the experience of being in that area was a highlight of all my travels. My only regret is that I wore myself out in Petra so didn’t have the energy to experience all they offered at the stops on the jeep tour in Wadi Rum.
Highly recommend, all the best sites and lovely tour.
Melanie_S, Mar 2024
This was a brilliant tour, we are so glad we picked it. Majd our driver was super friendly, helpful and made everything great. We had Jordan passes which made everything easy and booked the deluxe tent which was extremely comfortable (like a four star hotel comfort). The tour followed the description given on viator.

Perfect trip! highly recommended! Must go! It’s pleasure to have our team and our guide to have a wonderful trip! Petra and Wadi Rum are amazing, they are the best among different ancient buildings.
Most exceptionable experience!! Highly recommended!! Thank you Oday
Frantzeska_I, Feb 2024
Our journey through Jordan in October 2023 was made extra special, thanks to our fantastic driver, Oday. Traveling with two friends, we found Oday to be not only incredibly kind but also a wealth of knowledge about his country. Throughout our trip, Oday was always there to help with any questions we had and shared fascinating insights about Jordanian culture and history along the way. His insider tips for souvenir shopping were a game-changer, ensuring we found the perfect mementos to remember our trip by. What stood out most was Oday's genuine interest in making sure we had the best experience possible. He took the time to give us a heads-up about each stop we made, making us feel well-prepared and ready to explore. In short, Oday's friendly nature and expertise made our time in Jordan unforgettable. We'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and personable driver to guide them through this beautiful country. A big thank you to Oday for going above and beyond to make our trip truly amazing!
Great trip through Jordan
Johnathan_M, Feb 2024
This trip was amazing. Our driver Murad picked us up at our hotel in his car with plenty of water to get us through our time. He pointed out sites on the drive to Petra. He gave us a game plan for our visit to Petra and even had lunch waiting for us to eat in the car on the way to Wadi Rum. We joined with a few other groups for our jeep ride which was great. The camp was cozy and we were so tired after Petra that we were happy to eat and go to bed. We left Petra for Aqaba to see a little of the town before heading to the Dead Sea. Again, Murad was great at telling us about his country. The Dead Sea Resort was nice for lunch before we floated in the sea. Our drive back to Amman was quick and quiet as we were tired. Overall, a great tour with a great driver.
My winter trip to Jordan
Alessio_C, Feb 2024
It was just perfect, the places I have visited were amazing, my guide Ahmed was super, I was worried the experience on the desert could be unconfortable but it was not at all, all went smooth and matching my expectations, highly recommended
Great tour
Maja_P, Feb 2024
This was a great, packed two day trip. Our driver Mr Q was kind, professional and always ready to give a good advice and with great sense of humour. Petra is great, Wadi Rum stunningly beautiful nature. Dead see was also great experience. Even if February we were able to go inside. One cannot swim, but can float. I was lucky to be in a small group of 4 beautiful humans and we have a lot of fun and laughter.
Super Fun Experience I can recommend to anyone!
Nico_L, Feb 2024
The tour was amazing - enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to anyone! Our driver and guide Jafar was also amazing! With him the entire trip was even better! Overall amazing experience!
Perfect!
Catherine_M, Feb 2024
This tour was the best part of our trip to the Middle East. Our guide Ahmad was phenomenal, friendly and helpful. The sites and experiences were absolutely amazing. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!
Amazing tour!

The tour was amazing! our tour leader and driver, Mr. Jafar is very helpful and informative. He is also very funny. We really enjoyed the trip so much. He is very punctual. I would recommend this tour to other.
Petra, Wadi Rum overnight & Dead Sea
Kathleen_W, Jan 2024
We had an excellent time on our 2 day tour. Ahmed our driver did an excellent job driving and was our guide in Wadi Rum. He was very helpful throughout the tour. When it was a challenge for me to get into the Wadi Rum truck he helped solve the problem so I didn't miss anything. When we had extra time he added a boat trip Aqaba. Jordan is very safe, don't hesitate coming. There are many things to see, you won't be disappointed.
Memorable trip!
Majeed_B, Jan 2024
Outstanding Experience with the Murad. The locations were great and everything was managed in timly manner.
Great trip
majed_a, Jan 2024
Nice tour from Amman with knowledgeable driver & guide. Wadi rum campe was nice with great food and clean room. Dead Sea resort was good but I believe prices is very expensive comparing to the service provided and time spending there.
100% recommended
Yaritza_G, Jan 2024
Excellent coordination, kindness and punctuality of the guide. The places visited were impressive and the accommodation in Wadi Rum's Delux tents was 100% worth it (the tent is beautiful). The 4 and a half hours in Petra are enough and the arrival time also allows you to encounter a smaller concentration of people for more beautiful photos. 100% recommended
Absolutely Fantastic Tour!
Akshar_P, Jan 2024
Absolutely blew away my expectations. Amazing jam packed tour across Jordan with a guide par excellence in Ahmad Habibi. Loved how he explained the history and little tidbits about everywhere we went as well as always being super helpful and humorous with our whole group!!!
Highly recommend
Jennifer_a, Jan 2024
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we adopted him into our family. We called him Mr q or Uncle q. The tour was wonderful. We learned a lot about Wadi rum from our tour guide and got to climb around on a lot of the rocks and got breathtaking pictures. Mr q helped me figure out the easiest way to climb up the rocks and assisted me. It was a bit cloudy and at our camp there was more light pollution than I expected being out in the desert, so we didn't get to see stars like all of the pictures showed. That was disappointing. I thought in the middle of nowhere we would have a great view of the stars. The upgraded bedouin tents were very nice. Way better than we expected. We had our own private bathrooms and it was more like a single hotel room than a tent. Hard walls, electricity, running water, heat and air conditioning. The rooms were beautifully decorated in bedouin style. The food was good, and the servers even had us dancing with them in the evening. Petra is breathtaking and definitely earns its spot as one of the world's wonders. My advice would be to get the golf cart if you are a little short on time. It takes a long time to walk the whole length and see everything at Petra, we had a couple hours and were only able to see about half. So that was disappointing. I wish we would have gotten the golf cart to speed along the process. But what we saw was amazing. I didn't realize the golf cart was an option until we had already started. It is a pretty good incline on the way back and we had to take a few breathers. Also, the Dead Sea did not disappoint. I knew that because of the salt content floating was easy, but I didn't realize that not floating was impossible. 😆 It was really a cool experience. And the mud really made our skin so soft and smooth. Our kids from 8 years old to 18 loved the Dead Sea. I think that was actually one of the highlights of our whole Jordan and Egypt trip for them. I would recommend not shaving your legs for a day or two before going into the Dead Sea and making sure you don't have any cuts or whatnot. If you have sensitive areas, protect them with some Vaseline to seal the area from the salt getting in and stinging. We all had some stinging though mild fortunately. And do not touch your eyes or splash water in your eyes. We brought our own towels because we did not know if they would be supplied or not, but the resort that we went to did provide towels. Also I thought that there would be good shops for Dead Sea mineral lotions and whatnot. The resort had very expensive muds and creams that you could purchase. And there were a couple other stores that also had expensive items. We ended up getting some at the airport duty-free shop for a lot less.
Awesome!
Orlando_L, Dec 2023
I had a great time on this tour. Ahmed Habibi was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about Jordan. We even got to see the Red Sea as an additional bonus. I loved the desert camping experience and they had the best food I had in Jordan. Great experience overall and must do whilst visiting Jordan. 👌🏾
Effortless trip of a lifetime
Callie_K, Dec 2023
As a solo woman traveler, this tour made me feel very safe and the whole experience effortless. The pick up and drop off was seamless, and our driver was great - very clear in his instructions/guidance, and he managed to fit in so much, including a stop in Aqaba for a boat ride. The accommodation in Wadi Rum was very nice and clean, and the food was excellent. Could not recommend this tour enough if you want to see A LOT in a short amount of time without doing any of the planning or work.
The best experience in Jordan
Anna_Z, Dec 2023
This is an amazing opportunity to visit all the main places in Jordan in 2 days. This tour is the best, believe me! Our tour guide and driver was Jafar. I believe I was so lucky to travel with him, because he told us about everything, answered all our questions, gave us tips on how to enjoy Petra and not get scammed. He has a great sense of humor, we were never bored. Everything was very interesting, funny and exciting. The food and accommodation were also very good! I enjoyed this tour and didn’t want it to be over. Thank you so much, Jafar!
