From the moment I contacted the tour operator, I felt at ease. Their staff responded promptly, demonstrating deep knowledge and genuine passion for every historical site. Our itinerary included Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and more—each destination exceeded my expectations. The guide was engaging, patient, and fluent in both English and Arabic; they shared stories of ancient Nabateans, Ottoman heritage, and Bedouin tradition in a way that made me feel connected, not just like a tourist. Accommodations were comfortable, clean, and well‑chosen; meals were authentic Jordanian cuisine, often family‑run restaurants with warm hospitality. Transportation was safe and comfortable, with thoughtful rest stops. The pace was balanced—neither rushed nor sluggish—allowing moments to reflect, take photos, or simply breathe in the beauty. I appreciated their flexibility too: a detour to a local market was welcomed, even though not in the original plan. Overall, the tour operator provided a trip that felt personal, insightful, and deeply moving. I returned home with richer understanding, many fond memories, and a desire to return someday.
I've been on a few desert safari trips In Abu Dhabi but this was by far the best. Roosal was the best driver and always made sure we were accommodated for. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing and I cannot recommend this company enough. One of the best days out I've had and will definitely be back again.
I had an amazing experience on this desert safari! The dune bashing was thrilling, the camel ride gave a real feel of the desert, and the quad biking was pure adventure. Everything was well organized, and the guide made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. The evening entertainment and refreshments were also a great addition. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Dubai!
