Trekking the Wadi Rum was amazingPetra is a must see
The trek was the highlight
Very good knowledge of the history of Jordan and the bedouin culture.Very enthusiastic and always a nice story to tell
I just can recommend this trip.Maybe stay an extra day at Petra
This is the trip for anyone wanting to get away from it all for a few days – no mobile phone signal, no Internet, no pollution in the desert and back to basics!
Sleeping under the stars in the desert, after a satisfying dinner sitting round the campfire, and well-deserved after a few hours of walking and scrambling! Spending the days eating, walking and napping when it was too hot to walk around lunchtime. Standing on any three of the Rock Bridges we climbed up to. Walking up to the Monastery in Petra. A Bedouin turning up at the camp with a gigantic keyboard and staging a little party for us.
Danny was a walking history book (in a good way!) and knew everything anyone would ever want to know about Jordan. My favourite were his amazing (and according to him, 100% true) camel stories he told us around the campfire at night.
If you have a dust allergy, take lots of tissues and some anti-histamines! Take a few days before or after the trip to go to the Dead Sea - it's really close to Amman and pretty much on the way back from Petra.
I was nervous going into the trip — it was my first trekking experience. I was nervous about bugs, no showers, sleeping outside, difficulty of trek, everything!Within hours of the start of the trekk, my nervous dissappeared and I couldn’t help but have an amazing wonderful time. I didn’t want the trip to end.
There was a day of "scambling", so minor rock climbing up the mountain. Everyone had different levels of experience and it was great seeing everyone work together and cheer each other on to make it up and down the mountain.
Ibrahim was a really decent guy. He was authentic and told it to you straight. He had great insights into the Bedouin people and their history and wasn't afraid to share stories, opinions, and songs.
Bring wetwipes! You won't even notice the lack of showers ;)
An unforgettable experience – great food, easy to traverse terrain and breathtaking scenery. Snow in Amman and then frost on the desert sand and hailstone at Petra were unexpected pleasures.A must do!
The breathtaking scenery. The vastness of Wadi Rum, followed by the intricate detail of the carvings at Petra.Both provided a sense of freedom with the comfort of being supported by the team who moved around the kitchen, tents, bags and bedding.
Approachable, outgoing and fun loving who, at the same time, ensured the needs of the group were met.
Go for it but do take note of the recommended kit list.
This was my first Exodus trip and, I had taken a gamble by booking 3 in advance. Now I can't wait for the next one. Of course, it's also your fellow travellers who make a holiday what it is. The group leader and the environment certainly contributed in bringing us all together but I was fortunate to have been joined by some lovely people and we were all lucky to be supported by a great team at and between each camp.
It was a great holiday in a fantastic country.
Walking down to Petra early in the morning before the tourists and walking around the Wadi Rum as the sun comes up.
He was enthusiastic and enjoyed bringing everyone into the group.
Remember that at this time of year it can be not only cold but wet as well. We even had snow and frost. You will also need to bring more cash to pay the tips.
Please review your advice how much cash to take because it was considerably more than you suggested especially to the Bedouin.
A stunning trip with a great crowd
So many maybe seeing the deserts and the jebels bathed in moonlight
Zuhair a credit to Exodus his family and his country .The marshmallows he produced one evening whilst regaling us with tales of bad camels and their masters was almost straight out 1001 Arabian Nights
Sleep under the stars and dream on
This was a stunning week. Well organised and supported throughout.
Amazing desert scenery. Sleeping outside under the stars. Stories around the campfire. Scrambling up to Burdah rock bridge. Lovely food and plenty of it. The ancient city of Petra with its magnificent facades. Excellent group of people to listen to, walk with, laugh with, and be inspired by. The Bedouin who looked after us with great attentiveness.
Our group leader was Zuhair - we were his "tribe" and he was our Tribe Father! Zuhair was lovely, a real family man who looked after us, kept us right, told us many tales of long ago, and generally made our whole trip a great success.
The organisation of the week was excellent, so you just need to make sure you have personal things you need: moist face/body wipes are great, and a flat toilet tissue pack is nifty. Hair washing not necessary - after 4 days everyone's hair is a bit messy - just wear a hat/scarf. You might like to take a small travel pillow, but thick foam sleeping mats are provided and are very comfortable. The food is plentiful and yummy, but if you think you might run out of steam, take one or two muesli bars. (I took some but didn't use them)
Walking in Wadi Rum is on the flat, but walking in soft sand is slow and can be tiring. Scrambling up Jebel Burdah is not technical, and not exposed until the final part, where you can sit and watch others if you must, but that would be a shame. There are local people guiding to give you a pull or push if you find a step too high. Ladies - I took a FUD (Shewee/Whiz) but didn't actually use it as there are places you can "wee" in the desert without any onlookers. If you decide to take one, be sure to practise first!! There aren't any washing machines in the desert!!If you are unsure about this trip - do go for it. It is a wonderful experience, and you will be well looked after.
Spectacular, mesmerising, sublime! Nothing can really prepare you for the peace and tranquility that walking in this beautiful and varied desert landscape brings. Wadi Rum captures your heart and senses.
Unexpectadly the scenery and terrain is so varied and different at every corner that walking alll day is a joy. The choice is yours, hang out with the group or be solitary and walk at your own pace till the next shade and sweet herbal tea break - of which there are many - for everyone to catch up. This stunning and quiet landscape can't help but make you feel at one with nature and yourself. Wild camping is brilliant and a must experience for anyone in the desert. Lying on your back with the sky above a blanket of glittering, shooting stars. In late April the nights were so warm that a sleeping bag was more than cosy. In fact every night we would all individually wander off to find a perfect place to bed down and get some privacy of sorts. Log fires and incredibley delicious and fresh food (hummous, tomatoe salads, bread, lamb stews, halva...yum), tea, and as much water as you could drink kept us all happily satiated. On one night some musicians came to play their local instruments and sing folk songs by the fire. On another day we walked to a caravan of camels and were welcomed into Bedoiun tents with tea.Perhaps the only tough day was climbing up to the arch of Burdah - a rock bridge across a canyon. Pretty precipitous in parts, with everyone helping each other and relying heavily on the strength and guidance of the local Bedoiun leaders. By the time we made it back down 4 people had ripped there trousers, one so badly the leader took his sweatshirt off to cover an indescently exposured derriere!
Zuhair was kind, patient, very knowledgeabe and above all really helpful from start to finnish.
Take loads of baby wipes (biodegradeable) to keep yourself clean and un-smelly for all those nights of not washing! Lots of Sumcream (was in mid 30C in the day) and some SPF lip salve. A head torch (Petzl are good ones) is pretty useful at night when your are trying to locate your toothbrush.
This is up there in the top three of my most memoreable holiday experiences. The dessert is beguiling. Loved it and would happily do it all over again.
A fantastic 5 days, with great support from Zohair, our guide, and his friendly team. The nights spent under the stars in the stunning scenery of Wadi Rum were very special, and the spectacular walk through the hills around Petra gave us the best way in and showed us so much more.
Sleeping on a rocky ledge surrounded by amazing rock scenery and with spectacular views - the best bedroom we've ever slept in!
Zohair was not just a good guide but a good conversationalist, providing interesting perspectives on Jordan and the Middle East
If you like mountains and desert, Wadi Rum is one of the very best - make sure you sleep under the stars
I have been on this trip before, as had one other in the group: I think this says more than any number of ‘fantastics’ and ‘wonderfuls’. The peace and the space and the stars are balm for the soul; the sand, rock formations and skies make you stop and stare; Petra is deservedly a new seventh wonder of the world.
Finally crossing the rock bridge on Mount Burdah. I have tried to cross it before, but had vertigo: this time I made it across! This was my high-light. The rest was just business as usual on the amazing scale. I forgot to add: a dog attached herself to the group and escorted us for the whole five days in Wadi Rum. By the end of of the trip she was our pin-up, appeared in most photographs and had a new name (Wadi) even though we suspect she is fickle and joins most trips :-)
Lovely and professional. Khaled was very knowledgeable about his country, the history, Wadi Rum, etc. He paid attention to everyone in the group and did little extras that made all the difference e.g. one night around the campfire he produced a bag of marchmallows for toasting. I appreciated the efforts he made to ensure I had vegetarian food (no mean feat). The best group leader I've had with Exodus
Do this trip - it is my favourite.
