Jordan Discovery

Jordan was such an unexpected variety of history, beauty and fun! 100% safe and stress-free. Our guide Abdullah couldn’t have been any more helpful or enthusiastic about his beloved country. I’m not sure how he retains all the information he does! Highlights were Petra by night, snorkelling in the Red Sea and the sunset at Wadi Rum! We stayed an extra night beforehand to ease us in - which I’d advise. Advise to pack some longer shorts and tops with sleeves but it isn’t as strict as you’d think. Abdullah always advised us what to wear etc. definitely take a hat (we were in summer though!) most men purchased a traditional headscarf to wear. Cash is a defo must and get the most you think you’ll need as you’ll be charged £5 every time you withdraw funds. Defo buy / take snacks as meal times can be later than expected. Abdullah will provide water but take a wide necked bottle to refill. Take beach shoes for the dead sea and the canyon waterfall walk! Take walking shoes for Petra as lots more climbing than i anticipated. You will get V dusty! But it’s all part of the amazing adventure. Do the trip, do the extras, you WONT regret it. Everyone is so happy to see you.

Jordan Discovery was an amazing trip- my best yet with Explore. It was made by the tour leader Abdullah who was incredibly knowledgeable, made sure things ran like clockwork, had an excellent sense of humour, took photographs to document our experience- nothing was too much to ask and his patience was endless. It was clear Jordan is suffering from a lack of tourism due to the conflict in Israel- such a shame for a beautiful country and incredibly safe. Highlights: Petra is stunning and the Petra by Night experience was fabulous; subtly lit and a wonderful animated projection onto the iconic Treasury. Wadi Rumi and the desertscape had a beauty of its own. The Jeep ride was exhilarating and sunset something that actually made me cry. The Dead Sea was a surreal experience, it too had a quality of magic about it- the vast blue. Jordan- a top trip that will live with me forever.

Our trip to Jordan was absolutely incredible, thanks to the exceptional guidance of Saleh, our tour guide. His deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine care for each member of the group made the experience truly special. He was passionate about sharing Jordan’s rich history and culture, ensuring we left with a much deeper appreciation of this beautiful country. The tour itinerary was thoughtfully planned, covering all the must-see attractions, including the breathtaking Petra, which was a definite highlight. Snorkeling in the Red Sea was another fantastic experience, allowing us to explore the vibrant marine life in crystal-clear waters. The coach was spacious and extremely comfortable, equipped with WiFi and charging facilities, making travel between locations smooth and hassle-free. To top it off, our group was an absolute delight—everyone was friendly, engaged, and contributed to making the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of cultural immersion, adventure, and relaxation. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Jordan in a well-organized, engaging, and comfortable way!

Just can't find enough words to describe all the fantastic, magical moments of our trip to Jordan. It was simply AMAZING! Loved all of the places we visited, although I was mostly interested in archaeological sites and wasn't sure what to expect about the rest. But the city of Amman, Aqaba area and the Red Sea, Petra, Mount Nebu, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, every single tour and activity was remarkable. Everywhere we had a deep feeling of being welcomed and hosted by friendly and hospitable people, the food was excellent, always perfectly and often healthily cooked with lots of salads and natural fruit juice - we fell in love with the omnipresent Lemon and Mint drink! - and nice and comfortable accommodation. And last but not least, our leader, Abdullah Alhlalat, worked off the charts. He had a great knowledge of culture, history, and nature, a delightful sense of humour, a super helpful attitude, and never failed to give you a sense of safety and comfort. He literally enhanced our whole experience of the amazing country of Jordan. You simply can't stop talking about the trip and showing pictures to family and friends afterwards, and they all fall in love with the trip and with Jordan.
