My friend and I had a fantastic time on our trip. We were met by someone who helped us get the necessary paperwork, traveled to Wadi rum (we slept), stopped at a nice shop where we purchased beautiful scarves, and departed with our Wadi Rum local guide! Our guide was awesome, know all of the best spots to visit and photo spots as well! He was kind and attentive as I got sick at the beginning of our journey. We enjoyed staying at Sun Camp - the staff was so kind to us and generous in their efforts. We were fasting and they prepared food for us that night so we wouldn't be hungry. Our driver drove us to Petra (we slept), checked in to the hotel, and thoroughly enjoyed our guide who was also a local! We definitely benefited from his knowledge and connections! We enjoyed dinner in a cave and the following day our driver made arrangements for us to add an additional stop (for a cost). We were blessed to visit Jesus' baptism site before enjoying the amazing Dead Sea!
Amazing people and company to work with. We had some missed flights and changes, and they were overly accommodating. We loved having a private driver to take us around Jordan. Highly recommend them for your beautiful trip to Jordan.
This comprehensive 6-day journey through Jordan offers a captivating blend of ancient history, stunning natural landscapes, and unique cultural experiences. Beginning in the bustling capital, Amman, the tour quickly delves into the past with a visit to the remarkably preserved Roman city of Jerash. Back in Amman, you'll explore key historical sites like the Citadel and Roman Theatre before sampling local flavours during a street food tasting and visiting the sustainability-focused Wild Jordan Centre in the evening.
The adventure continues south along the scenic King's Highway, a route steeped in history, with stops to admire the famous mosaic map in Madaba and take in the panoramic views from Mount Nebo. You'll also explore the impressive Crusader fortress of Shobak Castle before arriving at the gateway to Petra. Here, you have the option to experience the magic of Petra by Night or participate in a hands-on Jordanian cooking class before your full exploration of the 'Rose Red City'.
The following day is dedicated entirely to the wonders of Petra. After a guided tour through the dramatic Siq canyon revealing the iconic Treasury, you'll have ample free time to discover the Monastery, Royal Tombs, and other marvels at your own pace. In the afternoon, the tour transitions to the dramatic desert landscapes of Wadi Rum for an unforgettable overnight stay in a traditional Bedouin camp under the stars, complete with a jeep safari and options for camel rides, hot air ballooning, or even an astronomy session. The final leg takes you from the desert sands to the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, for an overnight stay. You'll have plenty of time to experience the unique buoyancy of the salty waters, indulge in spa treatments, or perhaps embark on an optional trek through the water-filled canyons of Wadi Mujib before your departure on day six.
The standard tour price is based on comfortable 3 to 4-star hotels, however, an upgrade to superior grade hotels is also available, which enhances the accommodation used in Amman, Petra and the Dead Sea while the unique stay in Wadi Rum remains consistent across both options.
I rarely write reviews, but my experience deserves recognition. I traveled with a small group of friends, and what impressed us most was the agency’s flexibility and professionalism. We started from Jerusalem and crossed the Allenby Bridge, where JHT’s representative helped us through what could have been a confusing process. From there, everything was smooth sailing. In Madaba and Mount Nebo, we had time to reflect on the biblical history, while our guide shared both historical facts and heartfelt local stories. When we reached Petra, I was blown away—not only by the site itself, but also by the way our guide balanced exploration with rest. He suggested shaded routes, provided cold water, and even pointed out photo opportunities that gave us memories for life. Wadi Rum was another highlight: we had a thrilling 4x4 jeep ride across the desert, followed by a quiet evening of stargazing. The camp was clean and comfortable, with warm Jordanian hospitality. What I appreciated most was the balance between adventure and comfort, history and relaxation. The travel operator understood our needs better than we did ourselves, and that’s the mark of a truly professional travel company.
