    The canoeing was fantastic and the woman who drove us was very kind she suggested a different place to take photos. I loved it.

    The tour packed a lot in to one day - money well spent. Family friendly and awesome to finish with Mua Cave which was essentially a workout especially for the kids!

    Just got back from our Petra & Wadi Rum adventure and honestly, still buzzing. We had Firas as our driver and he was an absolute LEGEND. Picked us up right on time (like 5 mins early even), car was super clean and he kept us stocked on cold water and honestly, Jordanian weather can get HOT. Stopped at this tiny roadside bakery for fresh manaeesh (never heard of it before, soooo tasty). Petra itself blew my mind – we did the main trail, felt a bit rushed but that’s my fault for taking too many pics. Firas gave us the best advice for the Monastery hike (bring extra snacks, trust me). Wadi Rum was like something from Mars. He even let us DJ in the car, lol. Only tiny downside: wish we had even more time at the viewpoints, but schedule’s a schedule. Would 100% do this again, maybe with more days next time.

    Honestly, this was one of the SMOOTHEST roadtrips I've had. I went with my husband and our two teens, and our driver (Mohammed) was chatty and kind without being overbearing, which is a big plus for me! He had water and even some local snacks ready for us, and stopped at this random viewpoint for pics (def worth the wind in my hair). Drive was comfy, AC worked all the way (blessing, trust me). Petra itself was a bit crowded but totally magical. If you’re worried about toilets—don’t, they were surprisingly clean at the stops. Would do it all again, maybe in cooler weather though.
