What an amazing experience. We were greeted by our driver upon arrival at the airport and he drove us to our hotel where he helped with the check-in process. So no one is surprised, all the hotels have metal detectors and body scanners you have to walk through each time entering the hotel. This wasn't off-putting at all as it's for your safety. Petra is just amazing and much larger than we anticipated. We were told that approximately 90 of it is still underground. Next day we were off to Wadi Rum. We upgraded to a 3 hour jeep tour which was amazing. Our driver took my neck scarf and wrapped my head as a Bedouin and then took red from red rocks and painted my face as well. He showed us how the Bedouin's make soap out of a plant and then in the middle of nowhere we came across a Bedouin he knew that was brewing tea. We stopped and he threw his coat down for us to sit on in the sand and he then proceeded to pour us tea. Spent about half an hour there. Dead Sea was next. There are bowls of mud and you shouldn't miss the experience of slathering it all over your skin. It feels so soft going on. We then went to the water's edge and not quite sure how to approach floating but it just happens. Were told the Dead Sea is evaporating and may not be hear in 40 or so years. Jordan was amazing and we felt perfectly safe while there.

This was an amazing trip. Our guide suggested a couple of small logistical changes that were right on. Rather than going to Petra on the first day we switched the order of Petra and Wadi Rum. This was GREAT as we arrived at Petra just before it opened and were first in. Many of our pictures don't include any other tourists. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. This made for an awesome experience. We were a bit disappointed with the Dead Sea. 5 minutes to say that we experienced it was good enough. Wadi Rum made up for it. We expected it to be just OK, but will have lots of positive memories. First time riding a camel, and 5 days later I can still feel it. It is an amazing place. Bottom Line: Great Tour.

We had a particularly poor experience with this tour. We'd paid for 'Prime Class' hotels - which promised western 4 star standard. They were 2-3 star standard with poor food and, in Amman, poor location. Facilities at the Dead Sea were unsanitary. We were made to feel like an inconvenience to our driver. I would not recommend at all.

What a great tour! Our guide/driver Basel was amazing! He was very informative and made sure we were able to squeeze in some activities that were not part of the tour, like seeing Petra by night which was incredible! Highly recommend this tour and Basel as your guide/driver Zaid Tours.

Wadi Rum and Petra were highlights but the Dead Sea was a massive disappointment. Overall i found the country very expensive and the trip overpriced.

Amazing Tour... I could not recommend this highly enough, was an amazing way to see Jordan and our driver was incredible!
Review by: Charles C, April 2017
Awesome work done by Zaid Tours and Travel. Our guide for the entire trip, Auny, was great! They really made us feel comfortable and went out of the way to ensure that we managed to spend as much time at each site. The hotels we stayed in is nothing great but are generally clean. By Western standards, it's more of a 2 to 3 star.

A few friends and I traveled to Jordan for an extended weekend and all of us enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide, Basel A. Mousa was phenomenal. He met us when we arrived at the airport and drove us to our first hotel, The Bellevue in Amman and was very welcoming. Over our trip, we visited the Dead Sea, Petra, and Wadi Rum. All in all we had a great experience. Basel made sure we did everything we wanted to with an efficient schedule and was very informative. Both partiers remained on time throughput the trip making everything run smoothly. Highly recommend this trip, especially with Basel. Truly an experience the 5 of us will remember.

Our driver Basel A. Mousa is great! He drove safely and with lots of info shared with us. The program is good. However, some feedback, will be good that the agent can first give us list of hotels to choose in advance for our more preferred selection. Also, try to stay the last night at Dead sea than Amman. The program can be designed better if following that arrangement. Also, will be good to know there are options of better hotels facilities that we can use if we are willing to pay more to get into the dead sea beach side. Others are all good.

This tour was excellent. Hassle free and easy way to see the big sights in Jordan. Ask for Basel A. Mousa, he has a lot of insight for navigating the area, who to buy from and who not to buy from, and the best times to see the sights. We had an extra day in Jordan and he gave us a quick list of the best things to see with our extra time.

Our guide Omar was great! This was the perfect way to see the main sites when we only had three days.
Review by: Patricia C, October 2016
This was an excellent tour with our own driver and guide and when we found out we were headed for a dry hotel in Petra the tour operator changed it to a proper hotel which was excellent.
Review by: Neil H, July 2016
This was an amazing tour with great hotels and absolutely stunning historical sites and natural wonders. Our guide Ahmad was excellent: very knowledgeable and personable. In Petra, Essam was also brilliant as was Mohammed in Wadi Rum. The guides all went out of their way to make our trip an unforgettable experience. Thanks so much, Neil, Sally and Petra.

The places we have visited were amazing. The organisation of the trip was poor. Hotel in Petra was way too far to have 4 stars.
Review by: S M B, June 2016
I can and #39;t rate this tour enough! The staff were very professional and helpful, everything was catered for. We saw all the main sites in comfort and were made to feel really safe.
