Great experience!!

13-Jun-2023

Excellent- the tour was well organised and executed. The tourguide 'Nizhar' truly made the extra mile for his group. He was available at any time. The only small setback was the night in the Bedouin tent - since it wasn't a tent, but a steady room covered like a tent- we truly expected a night on basic level - in a real tent. However, since we did not want to climb up to the monastery (it has no 'value' for us) he re-organised the last day as a private tour to see other places like little petra etc.. The Jordanian Dinar is strong and that makes the stay a bit X. However the opportunities to book a hot air balloon or a camel ride made this trip surely memorable. Tq so much

Me and my sister decided to take a 3-day tour to Petra. It was a very good choice after passing the board Izreal-Jordan. We met on arrival our guide Karim he was full of positive energy what he passed straight away to rest of group. He explained to us all the plans for our days in Jordan. What I personally loved it. He surprised us with a bit of sweet treats 😋. We felt so welcome by that. All out tour was great from Wadi rum to 2 days in Petra. Karim offered a few extra stuff that we could do in our free time. We decided to take an air balloon ride 😅. He was just amazing wake up with us at 5 am to make sure we will wake up on time and don't lose any of our money. Guide was just incredibly he made our 3-day tour just perfect. Professional, educated, and passionate. Petra tour with amazing guide like Karim will be always in 100% recommended by me, my sister, and all the group !!! Thank you, Karim for your kindness and hospitality !!!
