Amman 15-Day Tours and Trips

This tour was well run and for me a completely different cultural experience. I could relax and just go with the flow knowing everything was taken care of by the amazing tour leaders who were so very knowledgeable and caring. Their job is so difficult and I appreciated them both so much. My life has been forever changed got the better by visiting these countries thank you to everyone at Expat.

A well organised journey through 7000 years of history, culture, belief systems, power struggles between civilisations, political structures and societal organisation, up to the present. All this evidenced in writings, architecture, artefacts uncovered by robbers and sold to collectors and more recently findings uncovered by archaeologists. Our guides did an excellent job of bringing the story together from the finds and monuments on display at the sites we visited. We discussed the differing technologies used to manage water by varying civilisations in both countries, where scarceness and at times surplus caused differing problems to solve as well as current religions, power structures, how families are organised, geopolitical alliances and governance.    

Perfectly organised. Loved the early morning departures to ensure no crowds at sights! Both guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining, they both went out of their way to accommodate all. Meals were excellent, loved the variety of buffet meals!

Everything in Egypt was magical! Our tour guide Nabil was so knowledgeable on every site we visited we couldn't have asked for a better tour leader. He made our large group feel like a family. We had such a great experience. The people in Egypt were so kind and welcoming. The sites we visited were so impressive. Nabil gave us plenty of time to admire and explore each site while he gave an in-depth explanation on the history of what we were seeing. We highly recommend this trip. We then went to Jordan through this same tour. Our tour leader Jamal showed us what a wonderful country Jordan is! Petra was just as awesome as we imagined, Wadi Rum was so fun! Camping out in the desert for a night, we were treated to some of the most amazing scenery I will never forget. The beautiful cliffs at sunset, then at sunrise is a must see. Floating in the Dead Sea is the strangest experience! You can't sink even if you wanted to. We loved it! We will definitely return to both of these countries. There is just so much to do there, we have to go back. Thank you Nabil and Jamal for the wonderful experience.

Incredible tour! George Basher our Egyptologist was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. He want out of his way to accommodate our individual requests on the tour. His gregarious personality was much appreciated as this set the great mood for the entire group. I would have preferred to skip Hergada completely to allow for more time at Valley of the Kings and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The Jordan portion was excellent, but way too short. More time in Petra is needed as well as at the Dead Sea.

We've been on a few trips now and always found the content of the initier interesting and allows us to sample local culture and see very interesting views, buildings and customs, the guides are local, communicate well and enthusiastic about their countries and the historical context has always been well conveyed. From airport pickup to airport drop-off accomodation, food and transport has been spot on.
