Best of Jordan and Israel vacation

On this trip through Jordan and Israel, we visit many UNESCO World Heritage Sites and religious places of interest. First and foremost, all the money spent on entrance fees to these sites are essential in restoring and preserving them for generations to come. In addition to this, we feel it is vital that we show customers these cultural sites for them to gain a better understanding of our world’s history and the civilisations that preceded us. We always remind customers to respect these historical sites and ensure they leave them exactly as they were found. This includes not leaving behind any litter, not touching and disturbing and part of the site and respecting all ropes and cordoned off areas.

Accommodation: In Wadi Rum, Jordan, we spend one night in a tented camp in the desert. This form of accommodation uses minimum resources while also providing a wonderfully unique desert experience for customers - there is nothing quite like gazing up at the stars from the middle of the desert.

Group Size: We operate this tour with a maximum of 19 passengers, ensuring that our groups are small enough as to not disturb the sites and communities that we visit. This also means that we can use smaller vehicles to get between destinations, and avoid the use of large coaches.

Meals: Where meals are included on this trip, the food that is provided is local and sourced from within the country. Even when international options are available, we encourage our customers to try the local dishes for the most authentic experience. Eating local produce is the single best way to ensure your food is not shipped from abroad and has a low carbon footprint. Food in the Middle East consists largely of vegetarian and plant-based dishes such as hummus, vegetables, falafels, vine leaves and other legumes. While meat is also heavily consumed, we encourage customers to opt for plant-based meals when possible since agriculture has much higher carbon emissions. Since we only use local guides from both Jordan and Israel. While of course this benefits both the group and local economy, hiring from within the country which we visit also eliminates flying staff in from international locations.

We have a detailed responsible travel policy online which is sent out to all customers upon booking. This policy provides helpful tips on how to be a responsible traveler, how to respect environments that you visit and the everyday little things everyone can do to act sustainably. First and foremost, we always ask that all travelers switch off all electricity and air conditioning before leaving a room and try to avoid purchasing single-use plastics unless necessary. We encourage customers to adopt a reduce, reuse and recycle mindset and always take every opportunity to think in a sustainable way when on tour.
