What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Jordan
- Hiking in Jordan: Petra and Wadi Rum
Excellent trip, fabulous group, leader excellent Loved the itinerary
- Jordan Culture & Adventure Tour
This was a GREAT family tour. Nine days in Jordan. It was well-planned and had a terrific itinerary. It was seamless. Our tour guide Freddy (aka Mohammad) was fantastic-- very knowledgeable, kind, accommodating, friendly, on time, sincere, and fun. There is nothing I would have changed about it. I will definitely take another tour with this company. They are the best I have found!
This trip was simply amazing. It really gives you an insight into the life of a Bedouin. Camping under the stars, milking camels for fresh milk for your coffee or tea, sitting around the fireplace and listening to some amazing stories; can't get better than that. And the food was incredible. Homemade meals every day, even vegetarian options. The accommodation was very basic (tents and sleeping bag) but it is a great adventure for anyone that loves camping. We walked around parts of Wadi Rum where there were no tourists around us and if you ended up getting tired, you always have the option to ride on the camel and rest for a bit. Can't speak highly enough about the Operator Rahhalah Explorers. And on top of that, I made some great new friends and was able to get more insight into the Jordanian culture.
