Excellent Day Tour - I had a very great tour with my guide Khader Salah. First, we visited beautiful Petra and second we had a safari tour through the dessert of Wadi Rum. We made enough stops for food and break. During the drive he told and explained me a lot of the history of Jordan and the sightseeing points. I really enjoyed and can recommend it!

An incredible experience! What a day 🫶 - What an incredible day! Anas our driver was outstanding. Punctual, warm, friendly and full of helpful tips. We had an outstanding time and it was all down to his guidance and attention to detail that made it so special. We booked the day with a separate guide at Petra and 4x4 Jeep drive at Wadi Rum. You can do the tour without either, of course, but I highly recommend including them. Anas found us an excellent guide at Petra, Youssaf, who also became our official photographer throughout - honestly, the photos are some of the best we have of both of us together (not always easy as a couple) - and memories we can treasure forever. We spent a great morning discovering so much history about the site. Getting there early is well worthwhile. Wear good shoes as it is a lot of walking in sandy/stoney terrain and some climbing if you are feeling adventurous and want a view from up high. When we arrived back at the visitors’ centre, Anas arrived immediately to collect us and we went onto Wadi Rum. What can I say about Wadi Rum but ‘wow!’ The 4x4 is essential if you want to visit the place properly and see amazing historical, cultural and geological landmarks. It’s truly beautiful and Anas’s passion comes through in his words - you can tell how much he loves the place. He took us to the best spots and most outstanding views. I loved that Anas was so happy to chat and answer any questions - it really made the trip for us. After we left Wadi Rum, Anas offered us the chance to visit Aquaba and we thought ‘why not?!’ I loved the fun spontaneity of the moment and it was lovely to share a peppermint tea on the beach with him chatting. It was a long day (with or without the beach extension), so be prepared for that but so worthwhile and a memory I know my husband and I will truly treasure forever along with the beauty of making a friend in Jordan. Thank you Anas - شكرًا لك - we are so grateful our paths crossed.

fascinating trip - As I only was available for a day it was still possible to see Petra and Wadi Rum. I was impressed by the beauty of the landscape and thankful for the driver's/guide's introduction into Jodan's culture.
