First of all a big thanks to magic Fatima and our friends and driver Amjad. PV travel has perfect collaborators for sharing the magic of this country. We were customer and now we're friends! Jordan has got a incredible historical backgrounds. In the norh Gerasa and Garada (Jerrash and Umm Qays) are roman cities incredible to say. Almost more well preserved than in Italy! Madaba is magic with its church and mosques so close and so in peace Take at least two day to visti Petra. There are so many treasure but the TREASURE to see. In the south take two or three days to visit and hiking Wadi rum. Anyway it's the very first time that my wife cry saying hello to our friend the driver Amjad. Thannks once again for taking care of us, sharing food and traditions. Merhaba Fatima, salam Amjad See you soon!!!

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.
