“Exceptional 6-days journey in Jordan ”

We had an exceptional 6-days journey in Jordan with our driver and guide, covering Amman, Jerash, Ajloun, Madaba, the Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum, and Aqaba. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organised, and enjoyable. Starting from Amman to Jerash and Ajloun and back to Amman, then continuing through Madaba and the Dead Sea to Petra, followed by Wadi Rum and Aqaba, he handled every long drive with professionalism and care. The driving was safe and comfortable, and the vehicle was always clean and well maintained. He was extremely knowledgeable about Jordan’s history, culture, and landmarks, sharing interesting insights along the way without ever being overwhelming. He was also very patient and flexible, allowing us to move at our own pace and always ensuring we were comfortable, well-rested, and enjoying ourselves. More than just a driver, he was a wonderful guide and a genuinely kind person who made our trip stress-free and memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone planning to explore Jordan — he truly made our experience unforgettable.
