Is this trip right for you?
Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

Our Jordanian experience was wonderful. Our guide Ahmad was absolutely brilliant, informative and engaging, he went out of his way to make sure everything went to plan and we were all enjoying ourselves. Cannot recommend Jordan or Ahmad highly enough.

What a great way to explore Jordan! An extremely safe place, great itinerary and our tour guide Mohammed really was excellent. If you’re not sure whether to book this trip due to political unrest around Jordan, I can’t encourage you enough to book - you won’t regret it!

Wow, what a great tour of Jordan with a superb tour guide Zaher Omar! This is an extremely well-designed and well-organized tour. We came away with an excellent understanding of this beautiful country’s history, culture, people, food and present day daily life. There wasn’t a dull moment and yet the pace was very manageable. We also made some wonderful new friends among our fellow group travelers. I would highly recommend this tour and hope to do more tours with Intrepid in the future.
