Jordan and Morocco Tours and Trips

The trip was very good value for money. The amount of places we saw and the people we met was great. The Jordanians are lovely people and the country is very safe. We got a very warm reception from Jordanians. A few practical tips for anyone thinking of going. You do not need sleeping bag liners, a filter bottle or a toilet roll. All bedding is provided in the camps, bottled water is supplied throughout the trip by the guide, there was always toilet paper at the camps and everywhere else. Do not fill your case with stuff you don’t need as I did. Do take a mug as tea/coffee is always available in the camps and handy to have for eco reasons. We had no mosquitos. Mid October weather was hot in the day and cooler, but not particularly cold, at night. The camping was tent/huts and we all had our own huts no sharing needed. They all had electric lights and at Petra there were plugs too. The food was copious and very nice plenty of salads and vegetables for any vegetarians. The days that dinner or lunch not included our guide took us to a local restaurant. A meal was 12 dinars so not expensive. No alcohol except in Madaba and Amman. Delicious lemon and mint drinks on offer. The camel ride at wadi rum was great fun. The walks were long but not much climbing as such and the terrain very sandy and scenery amazing. We had 14 people in our group. Several solo travellers so it is ok to go alone as all activities group ones. Our guide Zuhair was very helpful and informative. We were well looked after. I would recommend this trip the camping in the desert for 4 nights was wonderful.

Jirdan is a beautiful and safe country which is not part of what's happening around it. The trip is fantastic - desert, Petra, Dead Sea and Jerash - all is stunning. People are friendly and are so pleased to see tourists. A really great destination.

Great tour, our guide Hamid was really knowledgeable and personable. The lunches with locals were great. Loved the falls, the medina and city tours, and the desert experience. Only 2 complaints. #1, showers in most of the hotels were hard to use due to the hoses being inadequately mounted. The one in Fez was really poor, combined with the shower curtain being 2 short the floor got more water than my body. #2, some days we spent TOO much time in the van. We did have adequate rest stops, Hamid made sure of that!

This really was an amazing trip. The guide Mo was a wealth of information and was very kind and considerate with just about everything. Ali was fab driver too always cheery and helpful. The itinerary was spot on and as a result it is pretty difficult to decide what was the best experience, but I think Petra takes first prize with the desert as runner up! It was made extra special by the great group of people travelling with me without them I would never have got on top of that ledge! Great company and lots of laughs. Thanks all.

We have just returned from Jordan which exceeded our expectations. The tour had been well planned so that we saw and experienced the amazing sites and scenery . Petra was stunning , the first glimpse of the Treasury was breathtaking as were the hikes up to The Monastery and the End of the world coffee bar. Floating on the Dead Sea was soothing and relaxing and camping in Wadi Rum, looking up at the stars and feeling the stillness was a memorable experience. The hotels were comfortable and well placed and our tour guide Abdallah was kind and knowledgeable with a quick sense of humour and endless patience. He was very happy to answer any questions! I would absolutely recommend travelling to Jordan with Explore as this was one of our best trips.

I loved the whole trip. Hassan was so informative and I learned so much about Morocco. I really enjoyed the visit to the cave home & walking through the village. Also enjoyed the visit to the veterinary hospital. The fossil was so interesting. I loved staying in the desert tents & riding the camel. Loved the surprise stop to feed the monkeys (so cool). Marrakesh was my favorite city.
