  • Which hotels are used on this Jordan tour? Can you tell me more information about the accommodation and facilities in general?

    The hotels are dependent on the exact dates of travel, but the tour operator does maintain a standard level when it comes to selecting the hotels. Please let us know your preferred start date for the tour and we will enquire about which hotels are booked for that specific departure date. 

    Hotels are chosen for their location, cleanliness, and comfort. This tour spends 3 nights in a 4-star hotel in Amman, 1 night in a basic hotel in Jerash, 2 nights in a 5-star hotel at the Dead Sea, 3 nights in a standard hotel in Petra and 1 night in a 4-star hotel in Aqaba. Throughout the tour the hotels have en suite facilities and air conditioning, except in Jerash where the night is spent in a more basic hotel. One night is also spent in our private camp in Wadi Rum staying in traditional style tents equipped with basic beds, flush-toilets and simple shower facilities with (limited) hot water. Some hotels have more facilities than others, however, it is always good to keep in mind that the star rating in Jordan is quite different to what you may expect at home.
