I had the best Jordan trip, thanks to Retaj and Mr Tayseer!

I had the best time in Jordan touring with Retaj and was quite lucky to have got Mr Tayseer, one of the most accomplished and experienced tour guides cum driver. I covered Umm Qais, Ajloun Castle, Jerash, all sights of Amman city, the three desert castles, including the popular Qasr al Azraq, Madaba, Mount Nebo, Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Baptismal site), Dead Sea and the most famous of all, Petra. Right from the airport pick-up, Mr Tayseer developed a gregarious relationship with me and walked me through Jordanian history in a nutshell on my way to the hotel. His communication skills are really impressive with a strong hold on English. Also, personally I have a habit of asking many questions and he was always happy to answer them to my satisfaction. He made it a point to show me as many sights as possible and even complied to my request to try the local food- Mansab, that too in the month of Ramadan! This is not to say that his driving skills are average. All through the journey, he drove me to places, safety was his first priority and he always reached me on time. Once again, I was really lucky to have him by my side. I would urge Retaj to treasure Mr Tayseer as I found him to be a true gem! He also taught me some important Arabic words for conversational skills, which I still remember❤️❤️ Shukran❤️
Wonderful experience in Jordan

In one day I managed to visit beautiful locations such as Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle. The car service was excellent. Jacob the driver was very gentle and professional and he knew perfectly how to advise me on the trip and tours.
