Review of Petra’s private half-day tour, with a Bedouin guide, back-route hike, family lunch, costs, sights, tips, and drawbacks.
“Abdullah was a fantastic guide, really going above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Loved the fact that as he was a local (born and raised in Petra) could navigate us along scenic paths rarely tread by tourists. He was also really informative, making sure that with each location (Byzantine church, amphitheater, the Treasury, tombs etc) we understood the historical and cultural context. There was a slight misunderstanding in terms of duration of tour but after clearing everything up, Abdullah not only took us through his village (where we got to meet his kids who were the absolute cutest) but also to Little Petra, where my brother and I…”

Review of Amman’s private panoramic tour with Citadel views, old markets, modern neighborhoods, Jordanian mezze, and optional wine tasting.

Explore Wadi Rum by 4x4 with red dunes, sandboarding, camel riding, Bedouin lunch, canyon walks, historic sites, tea, and sunset.
“An unforgettable experience in Wadi Rum! Our tour through Wadi Rum was absolutely incredible and truly one of the highlights of our trip to Jordan. The landscapes are beyond words — endless red dunes, towering rock formations, natural arches, and quiet desert valleys that feel like another planet. Every stop felt more breathtaking than the last. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the desert. He shared the history of the area, and made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the day. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and just enjoy the silence and beauty of the desert. If you’re visiting…”

Review of Wadi Rum’s 10-hour jeep, camel, sandboarding, lunch, and sunset tour, with practical advice on price, pace, and what to expect.
“This experience was truly amazing and our driver Ahmed was fun. However, when you book this tour, be aware that you’re gonna do a lot of hiking. It’s not really a tour – the driver brings you to different locations in the desert but leaves you to explore by yourself, which can be either great or unpleasant, depending on what type of traveller you are. The tour itself is a bit overpriced, given your guide really just drives you to places and doesn’t do much else (and the lunch is very minimal), but the experience is still wonderful mostly because of all the sights you get to indulge in. I…”
