Most Inspirational Moment
Petra was spellbinding, but the most vivid memory is the Wadi Rum at night. The stars and the peace of the desert was food for the soul.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ahmad was the most amazing group leader. His knowledge of Jordan's history and culture enlivened the entire trip, bringing to life over 2,000 years of history and providing understanding the present day. Ahmad was generous with his time and his own experience, using stories from his own life to help us understand the current practices in Jordan. Kind and helpful at every step, Ahmad enriched my experience and made the trip truly spectacular.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Follow government guidance, but my recent experience on Jordan (April 2024) is that it is perfectly safe. If you feel comfortable I would recommend now as a perfect time to go. Tourist numbers are very low, meaning that you will have some sites almost to yourself. Petra has never been so quite!
Suggestions
