5.00This trip was fantastic! Everything was meticulously planned and executed by our amazing driver Mohammed. Use your driver's local knowledge if you are on this tour; don't be hesitant to do so. In particular, Muhammad arranged for us to have a wonderful guide in Petra who took us on the "back road," which began at the monastery and was physically demanding in both directions, but was a beautiful way to see the city without crowds.
Dream comes true!

5.00Our private tour, which was flexible and reasonably priced, began at the port of Aqaba, and after all the necessary formalities, the driver drove us to Petra. Emad's planning for us was excellent. Imad gave us his kind attention from the beginning to the conclusion, allowing us to get a deeper sense of and understanding of Jordan and its culture, customs, etc. Great experience and great time!
