I was skeptical about booking this as the last review during my booking time was back in 2023 but let me say, this turned out to be such an amazing tour! Everything was well explained and executed and the accommodation was actually very nice I opted to upgrade my tent and that even made the experience much more enjoyable for me. And of course seeing the Great facade was worth it, just bring walking shoes!
This tour is so worth booking !

This tour is so so so worth it. I don’t even know where to start. Day 1 was filled with beautiful views and visiting Mount Nebo was so touching. The campsite was just magical, it was beautiful and peaceful. The food is amazing, the customer service is amazing. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and very nice. The best part of it all, Petra. Petra is extraordinary. Don’t be scared of crossing the border. On the Israel side the process is easy. On the Jordan side the guide helps you with the entire process. It was a breeze! And no they do not leave you behind. They are making sure we are safe at all times. It was very safe and fun! I highly recommend this tour. Book this tour !
Amazing Petra and Bedouin Camp

The trip to Petra was amazing. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, hats off to our driver who drove us safely back and forth. Our journey to Petra was very long, but all worth it. Don’t expect a nice toilet on your bathroom stops. Our driver and bus change in the border went smoothly. Just have enough money for the border taxes. So much to see in Petra, you have to walk at least 1hr in and 1hr out. Wear comfortable shoes. Or you can ride a gulf cart for $15 one way. People will keep asking you to buy stuff, ride a camel, or a horse. The Bedouin camp was wonderful. We were served tea in a campfire after dinner. The atmosphere was very soothing. The mountains were lit up at night, and it looked magical while eating dinner. The food was delicious. The bathrooms in the camp was very clean. The camp that we chose didn’t have AC, but it gets cold at night.. It was worth spending money .
Great tour guide, unfortunate stay

Mahdi the tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable and funny too. Made it totally worth it! The camp, felt under our expectations. The infrastructure was in unatended conditions (unclean, dusty, bad smell, bed sheets with holes, etc). All the staff was in sweatpants, no ambience music, incense or other gimmicks to inmmerse you in the "bedouin camp" context. Such a pity... great views though for foto ops!

We had a very good guide in Jordan who explained many things about the country and the places we visited. Petra is very impressive and a must visit sight
