“Our guide was excellent - because of him we got to experience a wide spectrum of Iranian life and culture; travel in Iran would have been impossible without him. Iran is a wonderful place to visit; it is full of surprises, feels very safe and gives a different perspective on the modern world. Would not have missed it for the world - it was deeply rewarding.”
“There were so many trip highlights, but probably Petra would have to be a contender, especially having two whole days there. Travel knowing that the Jordanians are delighted to welcome you to their country and extremely hospitable. Pack sturdy walking shoes and hiking sandals. Abdullah is wonderful - he is knowledgeable, friendly and a delightful guide.”

Additional do’s and don’ts include: You should haggle at the bazaars, you should never be overly drunk in public, and try to refrain from any public displays of affection.
