“Excellent hospitality and overall fun guys to spend time with. We loved riding across the desert and learning about their culture!”
Spend a night in Wadi Rum on a jeep tour with Bedouin tea, sunset, dinner, breakfast, sandboarding, and mountain views.
“Wadi Rum is an absolutely amazing place. The ride covered many places of interest. Mamdouh was a a great guide and talked us through bits we would have missed, and turns out he is a climber! So I'm definitely coming back again for a climbing trip. The camp was a basic and comfortable tent as we expected and the dinner was a delicious Bedouin speciality. Everyone we met along the way was very friendly. Highly recommend.”
Review of Amman’s private panoramic tour, with Citadel views, souks, local mezze, flexible drivers, and an optional Jordanian wine tasting.
“This is a great tour with a great guide, but be advised that an evening tour may occur at a time when the Citadel and Roman Amphitheatre may be closed. This is a driving tour and if you want a guide at each stop, you'll have to procure one then.”
Review of a Wadi Rum jeep safari with Bedouin camp dinner, sunset, meals, desert arches, canyons, and flexible overnight options.
“Very nice camp, very nice, welcoming and knowledgeable people. They treated us well and were very helpful. I highly recommend”
Ride through Wadi Rum by jeep, see ancient inscriptions and rock arches, then enjoy dinner, breakfast, an overnight desert stay, and starry skies.
“Scammers. The most memorable part of the tour was the first 30 min when they drove us to a restaurant and wanted to charge us an extra 90JOD saying that we just paid “half of the Jeep tour price” as they charge 45 JOD per person. There’s no information in the bookinRead more”
Review of Amman’s three-course Jordanian dinner with a sommelier, three JR Wines, practical details, value, timing, and cancellation advice.
“This was a great exposure to Jordanian wine. My sommelier explained the history of the winery and wine in general in Jordan, how the vines were imported and their growing conditions and how the wines were produced and aged. The food was delicious and well-paired with the wines. Definitely recommend if you like wine.”
Explore Amman’s Rainbow Street, Jabal Al-Weibdeh, street food, crafts, and optional Citadel, Roman Theater, lunch, or Jordanian wine.
“One of the better walking tours we've taken. Our guide led us through several markets, explained the local products, helped us with purchases, and gave us good insight into Jordanian culture. Even bought us some local Kunafa, and gave us a tour of the "Blue Mosque" as bonuses. No problem recommending this tour.”
