I loved Jordan. I loved all of it. Such ancient land with complex history, there were moments where it felt like time itself was staring at you. Petra is magnificent; Wadi Rum calms the mind; the river Jordan nourishes the spirit; and local people’s hospitality warms the heart.
I remember the moment I fell in love with Jordan: we were wandering around in the Amman citadel and just after 4pm the call for prayer came, in that moment I knew I was in trouble. I left a part of my heart in Jordan and I've come back heartbroken.
We had an amazing leader, Abdullah, who was warm, kind, humorous, and who made everything that much more special.
Don't worry about anything, just enjoy it!
This really was a wonderful trip. So much packed into just one week – you’ll see all the main sights and more: Jerash – incredible; Petra – stunning; Wadi Rum – breathtaking. Make sure you opt for the meal with the local family in Wadi Musa; that for me was one of the highlights of the trip.
Too many to just pick one out. Every day brought new sights and experiences.
Our group was fortunate to have Ahmad as the Group Leader. We could not have asked for a better guide to take us through Jordan. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and with a great sense of humour - a true ambassador for the wonderful country of Jordan.
Go with an open mind and go with the flow. On a trip like this, sometimes you just can't stick to the itinerary. For example, our group were visiting Madaba and the King of Jordan rocked up (yes, really), meaning that we couldn't visit two of the planned sights that particular day. But Ahmad, our brilliant guide, managed to take the group to one alternative venue that day and then squeezed in Mount Nebo on our penultimate day at the Dead Sea. Flexibility is key.
Stop hesitating - just go!
Jordan is everything I expected and more, sadly for the country tourism is down but that was good for us who had the sights practically to ourselves – and what sights they are. Marvellous country, the history and architecture- so enthusiastically brought to life by Muayed, the people, the food. Absolutely fabulous!

Don’t worry about a thing!
This was a wonderful trip of a lifetime! Because of the unstable political situation in the Middle East I was unsure whether to go or not but I was so pleased that I decided not to cancel.
Jordan is so full of history and sites of religious significance and the people so friendly and welcoming. Ahmad, our guide was wonderful and obviously proud of his country, he not only showed us the unforgettable historic sights but also explained the culture of its people, introducing us to many of his ‘cousins’ who offered us very interesting insights into the foods and locally produced goods available! The added bonus of traveling when we did was that there were very few other tourists at the major sites, for obvious reasons, including Petra.
Petra had to be the most awe inspiring point of the trip, it was magnificent! Having walked around all the amazing tombs, monuments and Roman ruins during the day we then went back in the evening to see it by candle light. This was a very moving experience with local Bedouin musicians playing traditional instruments creating a very contemplative atmosphere.
Ahmad was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and obviously proud of his country and its heritage. He went out of his way to make sure that everyone was catered for as we were a very mixed age group with varying levels of fitness. The day we went to Madaba we discovered that the King of Jordan was visiting the same day so it was very crowded and many roads were closed off for the visit. Ahmad made sure we negotiated the crowds and, after seeing the King drive past (and wave to us!) he took us to a restaurant, owned by a ‘cousin’ were we all had coffee and waited for the crowds to disperse. This delay meant that we could not visit Mt Nebo that day but Ahmad made sure we visited on the way to the Dead Sea on the last day. Instead he took us to Little Petra which was lovely in the evening sun. We could not have wished for a better, more knowledgeable and helpful group leader than Ahmad.
When staying at the Bedouin camp overnight you will definitely need a sleeping bag liner, the facilities are very basic and the bed covers not very clean. Also it would be advisable to take walking boots as through the whole week you will be walking on quite rough rocky and/or sandy terrain.
Jordan is a very safe country with so much to see, once there is peace in Gaza please don’t hesitate to visit.
It is difficult to sum up what was so wonderful about this holiday. We spent a week experiencing the history and people of this lovely country under the enthusiastic expert and entertaining guidance of our guide Muayad. The itinerary was packed with so much, including the stunning archaeological sites in Amman, Jerash and Petra and stayed in the camp in Wadi Rum. We also met local families who cooked national dishes for us and it was a delight to talk with them in their own homes. Every day brought new adventures and delights.
Almost impossible to say, each day brought a new favourite moment.
Muayad was outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining and his love for his country and it's people shone through everything he said and did.
Jordan is safe!
We spent a week travel around this beautiful country and learnt an incredible amount.
Every day was a highlight but eating in two Jordanian households has to be above everything. We felt hugely privileged to be able to see the lives of local people. The whole country is an inspiration with fabulous historical sites, friendly people, stunning scenery and excellent food.
Muayad Mismar is such an inspiring leader. He has great knowledge, a passion for his country and its people , energy and fabulous interaction with both us and local people. Simply one of the best.
Don’t worry about security. Jordan is extremely safe and we never worried for even a second.
I am so glad I went.
This was my first holiday with Exodus, and what an amazing experience! From the very first moment when we walked around Amman and ate freshly cooked falafel in freshly cooked bread for lunch – our adventure started. The incredible sights, the sounds, the overwhelmingly hospitable people, the fascinating history – every day was different and a new adventure.
The best experience was having a home cooked meal in Fatima’s house (upside down meal) in Petra. Such an inspiring lady, beautiful food, with added touches of henna on your hand, and learning to write your name in Arabic.
Muayad was a wonderful tour guide. He was authentic and so hospitable. He was a mine of information, passionate about his country and people, he genuinely cared about us a group, and those we encountered in our different experiences along the way. He provided just the best holiday and created memories that I’ll never forget.
Just enjoy every day and absorb everything this beautiful country offers you.
Highly recommend Exodus as a tour company - offering holidays that genuinely care for the communities and country that you are visiting. Jordan is an incredible country that needs to be explored and experienced!
Jordan and Petra in particular has been on my bucket list for a while and this trip did not disappoint. I was blessed to be a part of a small group and we all got on so well, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Too many, though the two days we spent in a nearly-empty Petra were just breath-taking. If you can make it up to Monastery and/or the High Place of Sacrifice you will be well rewarded with stunning scenery along the way. The High Place of Sacrifice is a slightly easier climb, and the long walk down through the Wadi was spectacular. Nothing really beats the feeling of anticipation walking down the deserted Siq and seeing the Treasury peak out from behind the canyon. The preservation of Jerash was incredible, exploring was a close second to Petra.
We were a small but lively group and Mikhled did an amazing job keeping us all entertained and happy. He went out of his way to answer our questions and showed us loads of historic images about how the sites we had visited were discovered. He kept us organised with all the different trip options, which was no mean feat. I'd love to go on this trip again but would have to guarantee Mikhled was the leader.
Pack a small bag for the transfer into Wadi Rum as your suitcase won't be going with you, and if you are a winter departure pack layers! Also another small bag with swimming gear for Aqaba as you'll go straight from Wadi Rum to the Read Sea resort. It's a action-packed itinerary, so just embrace it and sleep either on the mini or back home. I did all the optional extras - Petra by Night, Little Petra, camel rides in Wadi Rum, snorkelling in Aqaba and Bethany-by-the-Jordan and do not regret a single thing. Jordan is not a cheap country but doing all these really added to my enjoyment of the trip and the experience as a whole.
Just go. Jordan is safe, despite everything happening in surrounding countries. The people are kind, humble, welcoming and eager to show off their country. The food was amazing (coming from a notoriously fussy eater) and there's something for everyone. The whole trip was such an incredible experience, I've tried my best to put it into words but can't really do it justice.
I arrived to Jordan by myself because I booked the tour last minute.
This was my first trip outside of the Uk since my husband passed away at the end of October 2023.
I can’t find the right words to express how this tour has made me feel. I’ve returned home to the Uk a different person to the one who left.
Jordan and its people are truly gifted.
The moment I stepped off the aeroplane the Exodus staff were there, waiting for me. Not for one moment did I feel afraid.
The group I spent the week with will remain friends for life.
The laughter we all shared together daily was not at all expected.
Our guide Mikhled was superb every minute of every day. Knowledgeable and attentive to us all.
Jordan itself is rich in culture and beauty, the sights we visited were stunning.
There wasn’t a single day that passed where I didn’t feel blown away with what I was seeing and learning.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves history, culture and being alive.
The bus journeys were also easy and very comfortable. I suffer with lower back problems but this was also very manageable for me.
I accidently dropped my purse in a taxi. I didn't even know I'd lost it until the hotel staff in Petra called my room to tell me the taxi driver had returned it. The people in Jordan are the most honest, genuine people you could ever wish to meet. This was very inspiring to me.

Open your heart
Not only am I recently bereaved with my husband passing away, I also have issues with my lower back. Unfortunately for me this flared up whilst I was on the tour. My guide Mikhled took extra care of me making sure this did not affect my experience in any way during my time. I can't express how heart warming this made me feel. Thank you Exodus. You clearly employ very good people.
A most memorable trip discovering Jordan’s sites, people and culture with an excellent guide and great company
It’s truly difficult to pick out one most inspiring moment when there was one on each day but the walk up to the Place of High Sacrifice in Petra was certainly one - a quieter backwater with stunning views and places to explore
Mikhled was a very knowledgeable guide with great people skills - very personable with a great sense of humour and the patience of a saint.
Layers of clothing essential for a February trip and a walking pole for Petra is incredibly useful
Jordan is a fabulous country, full of contrasts and its people are warm and engaging. It felt like a very safe place to be. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
