1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Jerash and Petra visits with excellent guides.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
If you stop at Madaba to see the mosaic map at St George's, in addition do go and see the Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist. Go up the Bell Tower and down in to the crypt as well. As well as the views and layers of history, the old photos at St John's show what the region was like only 100 years ago. Don't make the time to do the Petra by Night experience, it wasn't as magical as I thought it'd be.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Our vacation benefitted local people because so many visitors have cancelled their trips due to the conflict in Israel and Gaza.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent. Jordan feels safe and is safe and I would encourage people to be brave and go and spend time with the very hospitable Jordanians.James Nelson review 17 Nov 2021

Its cold in Jordan at 4- 5C so good to wrap up warmly.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes because the company was a local company so felt it benefited local community. The guide /driver was local and he gave us tips on places to eat where the locals eat so that was pretty good besides saving us some money!4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Seeing The Treasury emerge from between the rocks of the Siq....2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Forget all of your preconceptions about security and risk in Jordan. This is probably the most peaceful and the safest place I have visited. Safer than France, Belgium, the UK....... You can wander the streets alone quite safely. Wish I had stayed longer. Just go.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Tourism is down about 80% due to Jordan's "noisy neighbours" so the local economy needs your cash!4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
One of the best.Nicole Stallard review 20 May 2014
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Hard to decide: Petra is a standout, but I also loved snorkeling in the red sea, sunset in Wadi Rum, the Siq Trail in Al Mujib reserve and finishing up relaxing in the Dead Sea.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Take mosquito repellent. No-one warns you about the mosquitos!3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Some parts, yes. In particular, Al Mujib reserve & Wadi Rum components of the trip was clearly run by locals who loved & respected the area.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Fantastic. We fitted so much into 5 days, and stretched ourselves physically & culturally. It was a great trip.Holiday Reviews
