We were very fortunate that the tourism level due to the Israel war was almost zero which made you feel for the Jordanian people who were incredibly friendly and helpful. The country felt incredibly safe and other than the lack of tourists you would never guess at the horrors unfolding over the border in Israel.
To add to the safety it appears to be the policy of the Jordanian govt to provide tourists with a police ****** for the duration of the trip. Our group of 7 cyclists had a police ******, our guide Salah, a bus driver, 2 mechanics and a cycle leader - so almost 1-1 ratio.
Our guide Salah was brilliant- a very intelligent man, excellent English and knowledge of the history of Jordan and beyond. He took great pains to ensure we knew the salient points of all the places we visited and I learned an awful lot on this trip. One small criticism is that other than Salah and a couple of the cycle leaders the other members of the Explore team spoke very little English which meant we often had to engage with Salah to translate. As Jordanians are taught English at school it should be fairly straightforward to use this as part of the recruitment criteria
