Middle East Family Tours 2022/2023

“Last week we floated in the Dead Sea, snorkelled in the Red Sea, rode camels, camped in the Wadi Rum, looked out over awesome canyons and amazing landscapes, marvelled at mosaics, drank mint tea with the Bedouin, were driven through the desert in a 4x4, run down sand dunes, ate more houmous than you can shake a piece of flat bread at, and, of course, explored the wonders of the Lost City of Petra. We felt completely safe and welcome the entire time and have made new friends and memories that will last a lifetime! Go with an open mind, be prepared to take the rough with the smooth - the hotels are not 5 star - the Petra Palace Hotel is far from palatial (someone in our group joked that it was probably discovered at the same time as Petra) and the Golden Tulip at Aqaba lost its shine years ago - but we didn't come to Jordan to sit in hotels. The only real downside to it all is coming home! Last night my 13 year old said to me, "We were a bit worried about going on this holiday, but I"m so glad we did but I"m sad it's all over!".”

“This was our first holiday through this tour company. It isnt worth experiencing although I would advise arriving one day earlier to enable a rest day after a late travel day and an early start to the Dead Sea. Petra and the wadi rum was amazing and would love to return to spend more time there. The hotels were very comfortable other than the last one in Amman which was very poor but the tour organizer responded to complaints and we were moved.”

“My daughter and I loved this trip - beautiful landscapes, a range of things to do and great company. I could never have gained such insight into Jordan in one week travelling on our own - our guide was fantastic.”
