Add your own reviewAXM: Kingdoms of Jordan - Premium Adventure
This trip was on my ‘Bucket List’, which definitely exceeded all my expectations. The kind hospitality of the Bedouin people, offering you herbal teas along the way. Visiting the night markets in Aqaba and friendliness of vendors. Driving through the Wadi Rum desert on the back of a 4×4 and experiencing a spectacular sunset. As a female traveler I felt safe walking around Amman and the rest of Jordan.
Most Inspirational Moment
The hike to the clifftop - sacrificial alter overlooking The Treasury and views of Petra 5-star accommodation at the Saraya Wadi Rum Camp, whilst star gazing Enjoying a sundowner, overlooking the Red Sea at our own private Aqaba beach. Floating in the Dead Sea at your leisure, in an area designated only for hotel guests. Enjoyed a home-cooked Jordanian meal, which was arranged by the Tour Leader
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ayyad was excellent, his attentive manner made everyone in the group feel special and well looked after. His knowledge of Jordan and delivery of information was first class. Have made a friend for life.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Comfortable walking boots with traction on the sole. You will find an ATM at the entrance of Petra, that will offer the best exchange rate, should you need to withdraw additional cash. Plan your clothing wardrobe to pack, according to the weather for the time of the year, as temperatures are very cold in February.
Suggestions
The WiFi access on the coach was a welcome surprise.
Exhausting, exhilarating, challenging, fulfilling
What an incredible trip! Even though we had been lucky enough to visit Petra some ten years ago, we wanted to come back to explore the country further. Everything we did was very well organised and planned. The hotels were great as was the food. The evenings spent in local restaurants with our guide were brilliant, especially loved the evening walk round Aqaba. Jordan is a lovely country facing challenges, but with so much history!
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing The Monastery. I never thought I'd be able to do the steps but I challenged myself and I'm so glad I did. The day doing thr High Place of Sacrifice was also staggering!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ayyad was lovely!!! So knowledgeable but he felt like such a safe pair of hands. He said something to me when we were walking which I'll keep with me forever. Shout out too to our driver Anas....drivers often don't get a mention and he was very skilled and professional.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Warm clothes, layers, lots of socks and comfortable shoes. Some days walking boots will be good but there's some scrambling over rocks so I found my Sketchers we're better for that. But do it - you won't regret it!
Suggestions
I've come back from this trip so amazed by what I've seen and experienced, and so proud of what I've achieved. I pushed myself and I'm so very glad I did!!
Just out of this world in Jordan.
Exploring the city of Amman and seeing the roman Amphitheatre and seeing the ruins in Jerash. The country is mostly sand and it is beautiful. My tour guide Abdullah is very talented. He is the best tour guide I have had and I have travel with other tour companies and had other tour guides. After leaving the city and making the way towards Petra, we drove on The King’s High way. Petra was amazing as the weather was mostly good as there was flooding and heavy rain on one of the day and I loved seeing the local sites the shops and the food are out of this world. The Red Sea and the Dead Sea was also great and I loved swimming in both of them. Wadi Rum and the Jeep Safari was awesome and inspiring. I loved the trip and would recommend it very much to everyone. Jordan is a place you would want to visit and should be on your check list.
Most Inspirational Moment
I loved Petra as they is so much history and culture and also Wadi Rum the star gazing was so cool, made me thinking I was floating in space surround by the stars.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Abdullah is funny, friendly and very thoughtful of all the group. He is aware and helps everyone. He knows so much about the culture, he could easily be a professor at a university. Best tour guide. Five stars out of five stars.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Beware of all the shops as they sell similar stuff and that there is not a lot of alcohol as Muslims do not drink. The weather can a bit cold and there is a lot of smoking. I am from a country where smoking is not a big thing.
Culturally rich and great variety of accommodation
I always find that Exodus trips deliver more than I expect and this was no different. I booked the trip focused on Petra and the UFO camp but have found the country to be so culturally rich and interesting. Our guide – Abdullah was ridiculously knowledgeable about Jordan and it’s history and it was a pleasure to learn so much about the country.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Roman city at Jerash and the star gazing at UFO camp.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide - Abdullah was ridiculously knowledgeable about Jordan and it’s history and it was a pleasure to learn so much about the country. He adapted wherever possible to suit the groups needs/wishes. He had a great sense of humour and the trip would not have been anywhere near as good without him.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The weather is more varied than I packed for. Make sure you pack for both warm and cooler temperatures and also some evening wear.
Suggestions
The time in the mini bus travelling is long at some legs. Be prepared.
Adventures in Jordan
This was my first adventure with Exodus Travels (though I have traveled multiple times with a similar small group adventure travel company) and overall I was quite happy with everything. I chose this tour over other tours of Jordan offered by other companies for a few key reasons. Firstly, the premium accommodations used, secondly, that it had two days in Petra, and lastly, that it visited Aqaba. I have some feedback related to these points. Though I was quite satisfied with most of the hotels, I and most of the group were quite disappointed with the rooms at Old Village Petra and felt we’d been duped. The picture of the room shown on the website in no way reflects the actual rooms we stayed in which were much more basic. And a little research found that there is only one such room at the resort so a group of 16 would never be able to all have such a room. Please change the picture advertised to reflect the true accommodation provided. As for Aqaba, I was disappointed to hear from our leader that there would be nothing to see if we snorkelled off the beach at our hotel. That was the one thing I wanted to do in Aqaba, snorkel in the Red Sea. Muayad told us about a beach south of Aqaba we could go to independently that had excellent snorkelling just off the beach. Those of us that chose to go were so happy he told us about it and wished we could have gone back the next day. I also found I would have loved to have had more time in Aqaba to walk around the city and enjoy the hotel. I think this could be facilitated by going from Petra to Wadi Rum to Aqaba rather than Petra to Aqaba to Wadi Rum then back via Aqaba to reach the Dead Sea. It would result in more time in Wadi Rum, more time in Aqaba and more time in Dead Sea. That might be my one real criticism of the tour is that it felt rushed and besides Petra, just not enough time in each destination.
Most Inspirational Moment
The wonder of Petra. The vastness of Wadi Rum. The warmth and hospitality of the Jordanian people.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Muayad was a great leader, extremely knowledgeable, organized, generous, helpful, and even organized a couple delicious and memorable group meals. A homemade meal at a local family's home in Wadi Musa and a Mansaf and Kunafa meal at a restaurant in Aqaba. He kept saying "hospitality is our middle name". I think it might be his first.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for a fast paced week. Be prepared for a lot of walking and climbing to fully explore Petra. It's an exhausting couple days but so worth it! Eat as much Jordanian food as you possibly can.
Culture
Great trip but very very busy. Arrive at hotel at 1.30 am and then an 8.30 start the following morning. Then 3 consecutive early morning starts and long-upto 13 hour days. Sites visited are all great but not really any opportunities for downtime or to use the hotel facilities.
Most Inspirational Moment
Wadi rum is probably the best bit but enjoyed snorkelling in the Red Sea, which was an extra for us
Thoughts on Group Leader
Really good and helpful, very well informed. There was an expectation we would want to do everything but did accept we needed some down time from the hectic schedule
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a full on trip. Not sure it can really be described as leisurely.
Suggestions
If it was 2 days longer I think this would be a perfect way to see Jordan
Jordan Holiday
We had a wonderful holiday in Jordan – lots of interesting things to see, an excellent tour leader, a high standard of very comfortable accommodation.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were many very memorable moments but coming out of the Syk at Petra and seeing the Treasury stands out
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader, Mouayad, was brilliant and was a key factor in the holiday being so enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Jordan and the locations we visited, speaks very good English, made sure that we had good local food experiences and just generally couldn't have looked after us better.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Getting cash from ATMs is expensive in terms of fees charged so would advise bringing cash or pre-loaded cards.
Suggestions
Would thoroughly recommend this trip.
