We booked this tour through Jetline Holidays and it was run in Jordan by Al Thuraya Travel & Tours. We didn't know what to expect, but right from the pick-up at the airport, everything was brilliant. It can't be easy trying to get 30 or so folk to be in the same place at the same time with all their belongings (it definitely wasn't easy, sorry!), but our guide Wa'el managed it with good humour and kindness. He was also extremely knowledgeable about this beautiful country and very helpful. A big shout out to Captain Ahmed too whose driving was faultless. We had a fantastic week and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

Breakfast at the hotel and departure to Iraq El Amir and its Hellenistic castle Qasr El Abed. Where we find various inspirations: Greek, oriental, with the appearance of a Roman palace.

Absolutely marvellous week of touring with a brilliantly informative and knowledgeable guide and driver, Wa'el and the Captain! Wa'el, friendly and funny and the Captain kept the show on the road! Saw and learned about so many places, some that we had never heard of until the tour. Eye opening and impressive sites and friendly locals, along with our guide and driver, made it the best touring holiday! Get there and enjoy!!

The best company to plan your trip with. Would definitely recommend choosing them. Best tour group definitely recommend going with your family.
Incredible experience 10/10 you should 100% go it shows you everything you need to experience in Jordan
A beautiful trip with a ton of diversity. From start to finish, it had a ton of activities. Every day was filled with different things, but there was enough time for it and also some time to spend by yourself. Take the advise of you guide with the additional activities, since these show you even more of Jordan.
What an amazing experience in this beautiful country! Had the best week with our lovely group and guide Moawia, we’ll go back fullfilled with new knowledge and great memories👌

They have the best service, transportation, meet and assisting in airport..guide was the best and Operation team.
One of the best companies really very friendly, Helpful and professional Staff, Had a wonderful trip.
The discovery of a country with a thousand-year-old civilization, from the banks of the Red Sea to the banks of the Jordan, via the Wadi Rum and the wonderful Petra. Let yourself be seized by the breath of the desert, touch by the welcome and kindness of the Jordanians, embrace by the charm of the East!
Very good stay in Jordan with very nice excursions. Thanks to Elly Al kiyyam our guide during the 7 days who transmitted to us all the love he has for his country.
Jordan, beautiful discovery! 8 wonderful days stay thanks to our guide Mustafa who made us discover his country with pride and love. A great professional, Mustafa, rewarded us with stories of their customs and daily lives. Kind and welcoming, the Jordanians are especially grateful for our visit. A big thank you to Mustafa for his kindness and permanent smile. If you have the possibility to choose it as a guide, do not hesitate! Happy continuation Mustafa...! Suzanne and José PS: Take option hotels 5 *
With regard to hotels, by choosing the 5* option, we were lucky enough to stay in a beautiful hotel in Amman. On the other hand in Petra, it is better to be in a hotel close to the historic site to enjoy the site at night. The “Lutfi” guide is perfect, but the organizer can’t be reached and doesn’t even bother to respond to his clients. If you choose this tour operator, check well before your departure the schedule and your hotels. In our group, some were lucky, others were very disappointed with the accommodation... Tours are done at a rush and departures from Amman waste a lot of time... we spent more time in buses than on sites... to enjoy your stay, we advise you to avoid this type of organization and find guides on site. And above all, do not stay too long in Amman, this capital is of little interest. One day is more than enough.
Sameer was super nice to us , he did his best to make this trip, there are a few organizational issues at the agency level but we managed to make a great circuit...
Actually everything was beautiful! A great experience, friendly people! But... Wadi-Rum was really fantastic!
