Jordan Tours in January 2026

We returned a few weeks ago from a fabulous trip to Jordan, guided by the amazing Saleh. The trip itself was incredible, one of the best trips we've ever done (and I work in travel, so that's to say something!). It can be hard to find the right balance on how long to spend in each location before moving on to the next place, and often we can find ourselves wishing we had spent a day less or a day more somewhere, but I found that this tour had this absolutely nailed down. To add to the excellent pace, the country is fascinating, the people of Jordan are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and the experiences are top notch. Our guide Saleh was absolutely amazing. Charming and thoughtful, a fantastic storyteller, and with plenty of experience navigating groups, Saleh made the trip even more special. His insightful perspective into the life in the Middle East gave so much more context to the trip and the country, both past and present. It's been hard to pinpoint a highlight - but I guess Petra would have to take the cake. What an incredible place to visit and how fascinating it is to walk along the Sik, seeing the Treasury peaking through for the first time, walking up to the Monastery and being at awe of its magnitude, or hiking up to the high sacrificial place and stand high above the incredible mountains surrounding you. I will always cherish the memories of making a Bedouin tea and watching the sunset in the empty Wadi Rum, and I highly recommend to do as many extra activities as possible whilst you're there. Little Petra was such a nice surprise, the camel ride was so fun, and the boat trip in Aqaba was a highlight too, showing how much diversity you can see in Jordan. Jordan is a safe haven in the Middle East, and I would highly recommend to everyone to visit at the moment. The low tourist numbers make for an even more special trip, having the feeling of truly discovering the country. Don't be afraid to go to Jordan. If it is on your wishlist go now. You will absolutely not regret it.

This was a great trip and thoroughly recommend. I would like to disagree with the previous comment about the transport as I've done many Explore trips and the bus was perfectly adequate. However I'd like to agree with the comments about the Tour Leader. Although very knowledgeable, there is a limit to the amount of information people can take in. A lot of time was spent standing and talking rather than seeing as much as possible, and there was little respite on the bus - 4 hours of non stop talking on one of the travel days when we just wanted to sleep or read or get to know other group members!

Fabulous trip to a wonderful country. Jordan has a fascinating history, stunning landscapes, lovely people and great food. Our tour leader Thaeh was extremely knowledge and organised the trip in a kind and gentle way. He was invariably kind to our group and everyone we encountered.

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) had the most incredible adventure in Jordan, which was our first Exodus tour. This was a full-on week but the itinerary was carefully and thoughtfully planned out so no day was too much or too little of anything. Overall, it was a fantastic balance of sight-seeing, driving, walking, hiking, exploring, listening to history, free time, eating!!, visiting tourist spots, and going off the beaten trail. Our whole family highly recommends visiting Jordan and this tour!

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!

I have been to 75 countries, 7 continents, and 50 states and have taken more than 30 escorted tours as a solo female traveler. My G Adventures tour of Highlights of Jordan is easily one of the BEST tours I have ever taken. Thanks so much to G Adventures!
