It’s really a unforgettable experience. Emad picked up me from my hotel . He is a very good guide . He knows the city inside out . Cause he had been doing this for a long time . He gave me a quick briefing about the tour . He told me I can spend as long as I like if I am interested in some places . To void crowds we should visit the mosque first. Nobody was there when we arrived . So the mosque opened the door just for me . What a VIP treat . After the mosque we went to citadel. I loaned to stay there for 45 minutes . After I stepped in , there was a magic in the air. I instant fall in this place . The view is spectacular , 360 degrees panorama view of Amman city . The ruined monuments and the temple, also the museum just kept me going for ever. When I realized my next appointment was coming . I have stayed there by myself almost 2.5 hours . Emad was patiently waiting for me outside . When I ready to leave , he was there already to pick me up . Due to the timing , he suggested me servers new plans . They are all sounds very interesting . If I have time I will contact him and let him to show me all the best places in Amman . I really enjoyed this trip ....

Dahab provided a great day tour from Aqaba and were extremely accomodating when my flight to Aqaba was cancelled and I needed to move the tour back an hour. Our lovely driver was early and efficient, happy to stop for snacks on the long drive to Petra (as we had an early flight and missed breakfast) and found us a brilliant guide on sight. We had a fantastic day and a great experience seeing the spectacular Lost City and I'd recommend Dahab Safari Day Tours to anyone, especially for the price in comparison to competitors.

The Dead Sea is 75 kilometers long and from 6 to 16 kilometers wide. It is fed by the Jordan River, but it has no outlet. As its name suggests, the Dead Sea is entirely devoid of plant and animal life. This is due to an extremely high content of salt and other minerals—350 grams of salt per kilogram of water, as compared to about 40 grams in the world’s oceans. This concentration is caused by a rapid rate of evaporation. These natural elements give the waters of the Dead Sea certain curative properties, recognized since the days of Herod the Great over 2000 years ago.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Lunch, All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Drinks, personal expenses

Thank you so much Jordan Horizons Tours for your prompt and unquestioned refund of the full deposit paid for our planned trip. We were so disappointed to miss this trip - but the pandemic changed so many plans for so many people. Our shore excursion from Aqaba for 12 people ( 6 couples) had been meticulously planned with Andrea by email. We definitely would like the opportunity to visit Jordan in the future - perhaps a longer trip, not just a shore excursion. Absolutely recommend Jordan Horizons Tours and would book with them again

I never take the time to write a review because I am never really impressed. Jordan Private Tours changed my mind! I was blown away by their flexibility to change things and their quick response, not to mention they allowed us to customize our private tour and their friendliness! My husband and I travelled to Jordan in late April 2021 and had Ja’far Iskek as our guide and driver throughout our visit. We visited Amman, Jarash, Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. Throughout, Ja'far provided great insight into the history of the areas and took care of us. He also provided cold water bottles in the car and not to mention WIFI in the car as well. Visiting Joran was definitely a trip of a lifetime! We will cherish our memories forever! Thank you so much for the hospitality. I highly recommend Jordan Private Tours and Ja'far Iskek! Thanks!
