Things to do in  Jordan

Definitely worth taking this tour if you have the time. Visiting the Jordan River is much more interesting from the Jordan side as opposed to the Israel side since the actual baptism site is in Jordan. Note that you will have a local guide at the Jordan River. The guide was very good, spoke English well, and was very informative.

Ramoni was our driver. He came on time to our Dead Sea Marriott hotel and transferred us to Amman airport in a very comfortable sedan. He is friendly and personable. He gave us great information about Jordan en route as he spoke English very well. Highly recommend.

Perfect 3 days trip if you would like to explore what Jordan can best offer you, if you are a foreigner Jordan Pass (Wanderer) is recommended. Lovely staff well organized trip with great communication and service and a lot of facultative activities (extra fee).

This is perfect if you're short on time and want to see all the highlights of Jordan's capital. Built on seven hills, it makes a lot of sense to be able to be driven to the key sites and a nice way to spend a morning in the city and feel like you got a good idea of the main places to visit.

The driver was very informative, and spoke the perfect American English. He gave us a good picture of the country, Jordan and told us about Amman’s history. We felt very comfortable with him, as he gave us the pointers to be safe in Jordan.

Our driver Saadah was nice, polite and speak good English. Please be informed that this trip is driver only, so no guide. We really recommend to buy Jordan Pass because then you are not paying any entrance fee.

Brilliant trip, unforgettable experience! Mahd was an informative and very patient driver with all of us-was on time and helped look after us at each destination. Safe and stressfree way to see sights of Jordan.

Hammerhead Dive Center has great guides and are great way to see the amazing dive sites in Aqaba, Jordan.

Ahkmed gave us a fun tour of the city and sights. It was so much easier to be dropped off to see the sights as he waited for us. His love of the city and knowledgeable narration helped us to better understand Jordanian culture.

The walking and food tasting tour with Mohammed ticks many boxes at once. He seems to be the only person offering walking tours of Aqaba of any kind and supper is included along the way while tasting many different Arabian/Jordanian specialities and meeting many different and interesting people (he knows everyone). It was a great opportunity also to talk about life in Jordan. It is a great way to see Aqaba and from a resident’s perspective. I think the tour is also very good value. Mohammed is very personable and his English very good.

We actually signed up for this tour and a separate day tour to see Pella. Both tours were with the same company (Zaid Tours). Our driver recommended seeing Umm Qais and Pella together, and then seeing Ajloun the next day as this would reduce some travel time. The driver/guide we had (Basel) was excellent. He was prompt, spoke very good english, and provided very interesting insights into the Jordanian culture and ways of life. We enjoyed that as much as the sights. Our favorite sights were Umm Qais and Ajloun. The former was bigger than we expected and you can easily spend a couple of hours there. We would definitely recommend the tours and the company.

An authentic experience at its best! Our tour guide, Hani, came picked up punctually from our hotel. Having studied Middle-Eastern history, he gave us lots of useful information along our way on the three main sites visited. The visits were exceptional and all three sites are a must if one is to visit Jordan. We also stopped to eat in an amazing restaurant in Jerash (the Artemis restaurant). All in all, an amazing day exploring the ruins from the Roman and Umayyad times in northern Jordan - thank you for such an incredible experience!

Basel picked us up on time, and was actually early, which was good because there are a lot of places to visit. We started in Madaba, which is amazing. The mosaics that have stood the test of time, and tell the stories of the Holy Land are amazing, but to also see the mosaics being used to decorate St. George's is incredible as well. Basel handed us off to a fantastic guide, George, who explained the mosaics within St. George, as well as the mosaics at the Madaba Archeological Park, which houses the remains of the Virgin Mary Church. It is almost overwhelming how much is there. Once done in Madaba, Basel took us to Mt. Nebo, to have the same views that Moses had right before his death, and they are incredible. The Byzantine church on top of Nebo houses even more, and much larger mosaics. After this, we headed down into the Jordan Valley, and arrive at Beyond the Bethany. We are able to visit, what is believed to be the original baptism site of Jesus Christ, but as the River Jordan has moved in the last few decades, we walked to the new location to see Christian pilgrims being baptized along the shores of the River Jordan. It was amazing to see. We then proceeded to the Dead Sea resorts, and were able to go to the water, as we chose not to actually get in the water, but the option was there. We instead opted for a beer, and enjoying the view before heading back to Amman. Definitely recommend this trip. The conversation was great the entire time.

My colleague and I had a fantastic time on our trip from Amman to Petra and Wadi Rum. Anas picked us up on time from our hotel, and we began the drive to Petra. We stopped around half-way, which was good to allow Anas to rest because it is about 3 hours from Amman to Petra. Once there, we used our Jordan Pass (make sure you purchase before arriving in Jordan) to gain entry to Petra. The views were amazing, but be prepared to be hassled by locals wanting you to ride their horse or donkey down to the treasury. After spending about 3 hours at Petra, we met up with Anas again, and began the trek to Wadi Rum. There are spectacular views on the way, so make sure to ask Anas to stop for photos, because unfortunately, we didn't do that, he definitely would have stopped as he was very accommodating. Once we arrived at Wadi Rum, we transferred to a local vehicle, which took us off roading through the desert to see the various views, and drink some tea with some Bedouins. We were able to see where they had setup camps for the filming of Lawrence of Arabia, as well as the cave that T.E. Lawrence lived in. Afterwards we headed back to Amman, which takes around 4 hours, so be prepared for the long drive.

This was our first time visiting the country of Jordan. Knowing very little and not sure how well we would be able to communicate we chose this 4 day tour. Absolutely the best travel experience ever for us. Prior to booking the only concern I had was the transportation from the Dead Sea back to Amman. As we discovered , our driver took us back when we wanted to return to Amman....I only mention this because it didnt seem completely clear in the information provided on Viator..Our driver Amer was extremely punctual and never late. His explanation of the culture, the country and the people during the drives was amazing and he spoke incredible good English. The tour in Petra was absolutely unbelievable and at every place we needed a guide he called ahead and reserved a guide just for the 2 of us. He always made sure our hotel/accommodations check in went smoothly and always verified what time we wanted to get started the next day. The drive to Wadi Rum was spectacular. He arranged our jeep tour for us ( recommend a late afternoon/evening tour to see the sunset). Our driver also came along with us on the jeep tour. He explained everything at every stop on the jeep tour. We stayed at Sun Camp in a Martian tent- experience of a lifetime. We ate a traditional meal. The he drove us the next day to Aqaba. He walked us around the city, took us to a local restaurant for an amazing lunch, the a dessert shop. The food was amazing. Again he dropped us off at our hotel to enjoy the evening on our own. The next morning and almost every morning we stopped for coffee at small local places. The Amer drove us to the Dead Sea. Making a few stops along the way to see different things..i.e. small towns/villages, photo stops and he is willing to stop anywhere all we had to do was ask or show a interest and he knew. The Dead Sea hotel was beautiful but not much to see except the Dead Sea. The lowest place on earth! The next morning on our way back to Amman our driver recommended stopping a few places. He took us to Mt. Nebo which has spectacular views. He then asked to take us to the town of Madaba and we walked the town and visited a few archeological site. After lunch he drove us back to Amman. He offered to show us the city of Amman but he already had other tours pre booked. If ever driver with this company is as good as Amer, then you can't go wrong booking to tour. Absolutely hands down the best travel experience ever and would do it again without hesitation!

This was a good day to see some of the famous sites in Jordan. The trip to Petra was just enough to see the main route but not the alternative routes but it was enough for me. The stay in Wadi rum was awesome and we got to see some ancient cave paintings and had a nice buffet dinner. The driver even added in a short trip to Aqaba on the second day for us which was very thoughtful. He was a very kind and flexible on the itinerary. It was an amazing trip overall.

I took this trip alone as I was only briefly visiting Jordan on my way to visit friends in Qatar. My guide (Hasan) was amazing. He was very friendly and professional, and I felt safe at all times, especially as a woman traveling alone. He did a great job setting expectations for the day and allowed me to curate my own trip. I decided to shorten my time in Petra to allow a to visit Wadi Rum (an extra cost) as well. Upon arrival to Petra, you are assigned a separate guide to escort you through the site. It's done on a rolling basis, so it's pretty much the luck of the draw. My guide was ok, and nice but not very memorable. Hasan was great again because he let this guide know exactly what my plans were. Make sure to have enough local currency as there are many shops inside Petra (overpriced, so I'd recommend buying souvenirs before or after the complex). Once inside Petra, there are also opportunities to take a golf cart, horse or donkey on certain paths to limit walking. I highly recommend paying one of the many local boys who will offer to take you to the "high view" of the Treasury. You will definitely need some level of mobile agility to make it to the top but well worth the quick climb as you get a seemingly private bird's eye view of this world wonder.

Bader is one of the 7 certified guides to lead adventure experiences in Jordan. Pre-departure I was sent a packing list. For those of you out there who think you know better, don't, just pack the items on the list, it is not "a suggestion". Every item packed made the experience more enjoyable and safer. For the problem solver this is an amazing experience in strategy as well as simply letting go to everything else except the challenge in front of you. For the nature lovers, it is breathtaking, pristine hot and cold springs, plats inherent to the Wadi, waterfalls, and the tiny inhabitants of the streams, the crabs. My first thought upon return to the base camp was - let's do it again!

The tour is fantastic if you only have 1 day and you want to see Petra and Wadi Rum. First and foremost I have to say that we were very lucky to have Hassan as our driver, he was FANTASTIC at every single moment of the tour: - He reached out to me the day before to confirm the schedule and meeting point, it was a very nice detail. - He informed us about the schedule that we had ahead in the day and throughout the road he explained us the areas that we were seeing, we also made stops when needed during the whole trip. - We were very unlucky at the end of the day, all the tours that were in Petra had to be escorted to Amman by the police in a convoy because of some protest that were happening in the road... It was a very uncomfortable situation because it took 8 hours to come back to Amman and the situation was confusing with continuous stops and changes. During these moments Hassan was extremely kind and making sure that we were safe and that we had everything we needed and what I consider most important, he was constantly informing us about any changes and he actually explained us about these protest at the beginning of the day but we never thought they would affect us! - To end the long day he and his agency invited us to dinner, we declined the offer because we were extremely tired but although they didn't have any responsibility from the unfortunate events they did everything they could to make us feel comfortable until the very last moment... And the susprises didn't end there, the next day Hassan sent us two typical Jordanian gifts as an apology for the situation we lived the day before. Simply AMAZING!! Thank you so much Hassan!! He really changed our experience and we only have good memories of that day. In regards to the two areas that we visited: - The Wadi Rum 4x4 tour was very interesting and enjoyable, we did it during low season so the feeling of desert was even greater. Petra is a MUST if you go to Jordan, I would recommend a full day there but if you have limited time like us this is the best tour you can get.

I can’t do the trip justice by just these few pictures but I hope you get a feel of how absolutely amazing this trip was! Our driver was Ahmed and the first day we set off we were met with rainy wet conditions which was a bit dangerous to drive in, though he got us through it! Throughout the trip he’d ask if we’d like to have extra stops on the way so we could experience more sites. We really appreciated this! If you’re thinking about booking this, don’t hesitate and just do it! It is definitely worth it. I had a trip of a lifetime and Jordan has now become my favourite country I’ve ever visited (and this is coming from someone that has lived in 9 countries and travelled to 90+) I have more pics on Instagram if anyone wants to see more @lifeofawanderlustt Just a small tip: please don’t haggle that much with locals that offer to bring you up to famous photography spots at Petra (or any local services for that matter), if you can afford the trip you can afford to pay them a bit more to help them out 😊 (I paid 15 Jordanian dinar (most only pay 5-10 after haggling) and went with a young teen named Mohammed. If you ever see him go with him! He is such a talented photographer and videographer)
