It was amazing in Wadi rum to sleep in the desert in secure tents watching the sun go down then get up the next morning to watch it come up very magical. You see a lot of Jordan lovely people always helpful. (more)Barbara Hayers
But there were so many other memorable moments such as the meals out in the desert, floating in the Dead Sea, visiting Mount Nebo. Petra itself is vast and two days is just enough time to get a sense of the place and see the main sights.

The most memorable moments were a night in Wadi Rum hosted by Bedouins, including a camel ride in the desert to see the sunset, an early morning sunrise experience and lovely local food. Equally wonderful was the trek on the back trails to the high sacred place. (more)David Downing

Everything the club provided was of the first order, be it the fantastic dive instructors, who never failed to make my vacation fun and engaging; the well-thought out and delightful accommodation; safe and well-maintained equipment; and the friendly, caring and enthusiastic staff.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to anyone thinking about a scuba diving vacation. (more)Ben Moss
The diving was fantastic. This is definitely the place to go if you want to dive and snorkle. It’s a great location too, near the main stretch but far enough away to allow you to enjoy your peace and quiet. (more)Amanda Okill
The most memorable parts were my first dive as a qualified open water diver & being able to enjoy watching all the colourful fish and corals.

Memorable parts?
There were many memorable bits. Watching the turtles return to sea while the sun was rising, sledging down the dunes with my children, swimming in the Wadi's. Not sure I can choose only one.
Tips?
Don't try and squeeze too much into it. There are some lovely hotels and locations but we often found ourselves arriving just at or after sunset and leaving early the next morning.
Local benefits?
We were aware of the conservation side of things but not really... (more)Jane Skinner

Luxor was the most interesting and beautiful. Thrilling to see the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple and Karnak.
Tips?
It's very full on and you don't spend very much time in each place and in my opinion there's too little time at the key sites. Be ready for lots of early mornings, bus journeys and deadlines. The felucca trip is a huge disappointment.
Local benefits?
Not at all. The group unexpectedly stopped for camel rides at the pyramids and the animal... (more)Gregor Graham

The varied places we covered across Rajasthan from the key places (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Pushkar) to the less visited places (Bundi, Bassi, Bijaipur)
which gave us a better insight to the culture food and people of Rajasthan. We got to experience all modes of transport, Delhi metro, trains, autorickshaws,
comfy cars, jeeps and camels. The pace was just right with a good selection of optional activities. Tarang, our Guide was outstanding and really made sure... (more)Yvette de Souza
