Middle East Landmarks

Excellent Tour. Our leader Zuhair was great. The hotels were a good standard, all clean. The night camping in the desert was great it was less basic than I had expected the tents are for 2-4 people and you shared with your partner or had a single, there are proper beds and carpet in tents, the toilet block is a short walk. Definitely recommend the camel ride.

Abdullah was an excellent guide who made our trip run very smoothly with as much time as possible at the various attractions. He was very knowledgible, empathatic, supportive but was assertive when needed.His photography that he shared with the group was fun and excellent. We had some early starts so we could have as much time as possible in Petra and Wadi Rum. A better guide would be very hard to find. The itinerary was full on but the attractions were fabulous. Petra and Wadi Rum were the highlights especially the camel ride at sunrise in the desert. Abdullah chose our eating places carefully so we did not get ill.
However after he left us on our final night we ate at the Hotel as we were tired and had early flights, and several of us were ill. Lisa at Explore is communicating with the Jordan agent to investigate and ensure the hotel adheres to government hygiene standards.
Suggestions: arrive one day early to rest, recuperate and enjoy a day wandering around Amman. The locals are so helpful when you get lost-all the time! The school girls wanted to try their English on us. The souks are amazing.
Solo people should have double beds if paying a single supplement not twin beds please?
Bring water shoes for the Dead Sea.
Overall it is one of the best tours that I have ever had.

I had a fantastic holiday, and was looked after. To finish by your company. The standout person had to be our group leader. Sala He’s knowledge was outstanding, but more importantly, he made the whole thing fun

We had a lovely time walking in Cappadocia. The hotel was very comfortable, the guide was excellent and the walks were scenic and interesting. A particular highlight was a hot air balloon ride at dawn along with 150 other balloons!

We had a fantastic time in Jordan, food was amazing, people genuinely friendly and very welcoming, excellent leader, so much to see and experience. Felt perfectly safe the entire time despite the situation
