We were provided with bottles of water and even coffee on the way :) we were coordinated and communicated all the time while we were in Petra. Thanks Ibrahim for taking care of us.”

“We totally recommend this tour, it is a little bit expensive but it was very flexible, we could spend as many time as we wanted in each place. Ramzi (our driver) was the best, he is very punctual and spoiled us a lot: his car is really comfortable, he let us put our music and was buying us snacks and giving us water bottles all the time. He waited for us 7 hours till we were done with the all the routes in Petra and booked for us a nice day in a resort on the Dead Sea. He also gave us very good recommendations for our time left in…”
