Jordan is one of those countries that leaves an imprint on your soul. There is so much history and you feel it while you are there. We feel so fortunate to have been able to see Jerash and walk around the excavated city. Swimming or rather floating in the Dead Sea left a memory that I will always treasure. Wadi Rum with its quiet and peace enters deep inside you. Petra is absolutely amazing! The only problem with this tour is that we could have spent so much more time there. The company met us in the airport and walked us through getting a visitor visa, took us to the hotel and got us settled in. Everyone we came into contact was kind, professional and shared their love of the country they live in. I cannot recommend this highly enough! Hassan even worked in an added stop to see where Moses saw the promised land. We have never traveled on a tour like this before, but with the short amount of time we knew we had, we felt this was the best choice and it ended up being the best way for us to get an introduction to an amazing country.
