There's a reason Enjoy Jordan is rated #12 on Tripadvisor and NOT #1 and this is why.

I booked my trip last minute through a tour operator who coordinated with Enjoy Jordan. I had some vacation time and decided to take a trip last minute. I was specifically interested in a hiking adventure on the Jordan trail rather than a city sightseeing tour.

There's a reason Enjoy Jordan is rated #12 on Tripadvisor and NOT #1 and this is why.

I booked my trip last minute through a tour operator who coordinated with Enjoy Jordan. I had some vacation time and decided to take a trip last minute. I was specifically interested in a hiking adventure on the Jordan trail rather than a city sightseeing tour.

My review is based on my own experience and it will not be everyone's experience. Having said that, I felt I needed to share my experience as honestly as possible so that other potential travelers who plan to book through this site and specifically through Enjoy Jordan can understand the good and the bad when planning an itinerary, following through the itinerary, and actually experiencing it once you are on your trip.

Since I paid almost $6,000 USD as a solo traveler, I expected a high level of customer service that is above and beyond what I actually received.

The biggest issue is that the confirmation letter did NOT match the itinerary. I will post pictures showing what I mean. This caused a level of confusion that made my trip experience less enjoyable than it could have been. Meaning - my trip could have gone a lot more smoothly than it did.

For example, my itinerary would list a hotel and the confirmation letter would list another hotel. On top of that, I had no idea which meals I paid for were actually included as the confirmation letter was not clear and again did not match the itinerary. It was really a mess trying to figure this whole thing out.

The confirmation letter itself was a short 3 page voucher while the detailed itinerary was 29 pages long. There was no way the confirmation letter was clear enough nor did it have enough details to give any traveler a good idea of what they were to expect. The details of the confirmation letter were short and condensed down to 3 pages.

Finally, I paid for an extra day but realized that my flight on the last day of my trip was a red-eye flight, flying out of Amman at 1am. I sent my flight information to the person arranging my itinerary ahead of time (samir) and he nor anyone even bothered to inform me before I went on my trip that I booked an extra day. A person with excellent customer service skills would have gone above and beyond to do just that on top of their existing job. I know because I have been in customer service for several years and what makes someone great is thinking ahead for the client and being on top of things.

I booked an extra day by mistake including an overnight stay at Wadi Rum Enjoy Desert Camp and the only refund I got was $100 and my daily activities paid for in Wadi Rum which was a camel ride, 4x4 jeep adventure, and a short hike with a personal guide.

Keep in mind I paid over $6,000 for my entire trip for 9 days/8 nights which does NOT include the flight. I had sent my flight information in advance of my trip and NO ONE looked at it nor bothered to inform me of the extra day I booked and didn't even bother to refund me. I figured this out in the middle of my trip and had an argument with Samir in the middle of my trip about a refund for the extra day. Seriously, this just made my entire trip less enjoyable. There were a few other issues with Wadi Dana eco-camp sending a local hiking guide when I already had booked my entire trip and my guides through Enjoy Jordan. I mention that in my review from Dana to Feynan.

I would have to say my entire trip was not worth $6,000 and I will not be booking through this site again.

Shams al weibdeh hotel apartment

Amman

I arrived at my hotel around 1:30am- 2am and thought it was comfortable. The guy at the front desk was friendly, took my luggage up to my room and left. The room itself was comfortable. It had a kitchen sink, cups, a small living room with a sofa, tv, and a coffee table. I was only there for a night to sleep so it was fine. I did find a small dead bug on the floor and quickly cleaned that up. The bed was comfortable, the shower was fine. I had hot water and it worked for me. The breakfast the next morning was OK. I didn't eat much. I just had a boiled egg, small pancakes with Nutella spread, and 2 small muffins. They had much more selections and options for breakfast but it just didn't appeal to me.

Dead Sea Spa Hotel

Sweimeh

First of all Dead Sea Spa hotel is rated a 4 star hotel. When I arrived to my room, the fabric on the bed frame was completely ripped and torn. Please see pictures. Although the room was large and spacious, the condition of the room was just not a 4 star hotel. The walls were also scuffed. The room looked old and outdated and smelled of smoke. I requested another room with one queen or king sized bed. My room at 2 beds. They gave me a hard time telling me that there were no other rooms available and that they were completed booked for the night. They offered to put the 2 beds together to make it one bed but that wasn't the point. The room was old, outdated, and not in the greatest condition. I knew they weren't completely booked because after some time, they came back to me and said they had another room with a king bed they could switch me to. I told them I wanted to see the room first so they took me to the room and it was in the SAME condition and smelled of smoke. The fabric on the bed frame was ripped and torn like it hasn't been maintained or kept up in years. How the fabric is ripped and torn badly, I have no ideal. I'm sorry but the condition of the bed was not good and if you are a 4 star hotel, the manager or owner should really be embarrassed about the condition of the rooms. I don't know if there were new updated or remodeled rooms in another section of the hotel as it is a very large hotel but the room I stayed in was not a 4 star room. Luckily for the hotel, the short time I had at the Dead Sea was worth it. The hotel, not so much. I don't recommend this hotel.

Dana Guest House

Al Tafileh, Dana

I arrived in the evening and the staff was very kind and brought my luggage down a flight of stairs to my room. The room itself is basic but I don't mind. In the morning, I had an amazing view to look out to over the mountains and I did get hot water for my shower. It's basic, but again, I don't mind. Sometimes the most beautiful things are the most basic and simple. The twin beds were simple and I had extra blankets if needed. I was comfortable and had a good sleep although the tourists in the next room were quite loud. I could hear them for most of the night. There isn't much insulation between rooms so you might hear your neighbors. Since I traveled alone, I chose to eat outside on the patio/deck which I enjoyed. The dinner was great, a buffet of real authentic local dinner consisting of fish, vegetables, and rice. In the morning, I had breakfast in the dining area of boiled eggs, a bagel type bread, and Arabic tea which I love very much! The only issue I had is that for some reason, the hotel sent a local hiking guide named Mohammad to meet me in the morning for my hike to Feynan but I had booked everything (all my guides) through Enjoy Jordan. I had spoke to my guide the day before (his name is also Mohammad) and we agreed to meet at 9am in the morning. Since the hotel sent a local guide also named Mohammad, he arrived at 8:30am and I assumed this was the same guide I spoke to the day before but it was the wrong guide. I left with the wrong guide who also spoke very little English as I figured out 1/4 way into our hike. This caused a big miscommunication and misunderstanding that should have been sorted out and cleared up before I left for my hike. Just wanted to bring this up.

Feynan Eco Lodge

Dana, Feynan

This was such a unique and interesting experience. I enjoyed it very much even though I only stayed one night and left in the morning. I read some reviews where other tourists thought the value did not match up to the experience and the money they paid. I'd like to offer a different viewpoint. The whole point of the Eco Lodge is to EXPERIENCE the beauty of the stars, the beauty of the scenery, of the room with just the flicker of candle lights without the need for technology, TV, cell phones, etc... That is why there are no outlets in the rooms and no electricity besides the bathroom!! However, if you need to charge your cell phone, there are outlets in the lobby. So what if I paid a lot more money than a typical hotel that offers a TV, outlets, technology, bars, multiple activities, entertainment, etc.. that Feynan Eco Lodge may not? For people who want these things, then you shouldn't be staying at Feynan Eco Lodge and you are missing the point. There is nothing quite like walking around the hotel with just lanterns lighted by candles, having dinner with only candle light, your rooms lighted with candle light, watching the stars at night, WITHOUT cell phones, TV, technology, and any distractions. It was magical for me and I enjoyed it. I see the beauty and simplicity in things that other people who are dependent on technology and external sources of entertainment don't. The food was great. I enjoyed dinner and breakfast very much. The hotel was clean. I read reviews where some tourists mentioned there were trash everywhere and lots of stray cats, but that was not my experience. There were a few stray kittens but not many I saw. Overall, I highly recommend Feynan Eco Lodge. Perhaps you'll connect with your soul on a deeper level after your experience at the Eco Lodge.

Petra Guest House

Wadi Musa

There was a mixup with my hotel and my itinerary listed Petra moon hotel whereas my confirmation letter listed Petra Guest house which is why I ended up at the Petra Moon hotel after my hike. Even though I didn't stay at Petra Moon hotel, the front desk was much friendlier here than Petra Moon hotel who was rude to me. I highly recommend Petra Guest House over Petra Moon hotel. The rooms are much more modern, better decorated, and cleaner than Petra moon's rooms which look very outdated and old style. I was told I was the first ever guest in a new room at the Petra Guest House. The room was modern, clean, and very comfortable. I really enjoyed the room. It was nicely decorated and obviously new. The bathroom, the bed, the layout was excellent and very comfortable. I'm glad I was the first ever guest in the room. Plus, the hotel was very busy with tons of tourists which is always a good sign. Plus, the breakfast was EXCELLENT. I really enjoyed the breakfast. It was very good with eggs, pastries, selection of fruits, and much more. Go with Petra Guest House. You won't be disappointed.

Enjoy Desert camp

Wadi rum

I didn't get a chance to stay at Enjoy desert camp and am still waiting for a refund. I only stored my luggage in a room while I enjoyed camel riding, 4x4 jeep adventure, and a walk through the desert ending with a beautiful sunset with my guide. My guide was excellent by the way. The room itself seemed comfortable, simple, and spacious even though I didn't stay a night which I wish I did. It would have been nice to star gaze but perhaps another time. I'll have to come back to Wadi Rum

Movable camp

I went on a 4 day hike staying in a movable tent with a mattress and blankets. My guide, driver, and chef were great. The dinner was amazing. The lunch could have been slightly better, and there is room for improvement but the authentic Bedouin dinner prepared by the chef was excellent. After a long day of hiking, there is nothing better than good authentic comfort food! The tent was comfortable and I was warm. The tea and sweets were perfect as snacks.

Meet & Assist - Queen Alia Airport

Jordan

It started off well. I was traveling alone by myself. A rep waited for me before immigrations and had a sign with my name. We walked quickly towards immigrations and he told me to wait in the longest line ever. This was late at night that I arrived. He said he would wait for me at the immigrations counter. I saw him as I moved through the long immigrations line and then he just disappeared. I didn't see him anymore. I finally finished going through immigrations and I still didn't see the rep, but had no choice and decided to go down the escalator to get my luggage. I finally saw the rep at the bottom of the escalator, who met me initially. He told me to wait in front of the information/customer service desk and not to move after I got my luggage. After I got my luggage, I waited for what seemed like forever. I was wondering if the rep will ever come back? At this time, it was already late and I was exhausted after a 20 hour flight. It was probably around 12:30am-1am at this time, maybe even later. After what seemed like forever (my guess is 30 minutes or more), I decided to go exchange some currency so I had some Jordanian Dinera on hand for tips. The currency exchange station was right behind the information/customer service desk so I continued to keep an eye out for the rep looking around for him often. After another 15 minutes I would say, another rep comes rushing towards me and apologizes. He takes me up to my driver. The original rep disappeared and I found out later the original rep who met me initially was taking care of another group of tourists (around 15). I understand the rep having to take care of other tourists in a larger group, and even though I am one person, I still paid a lot of money for my trip which included the meet and greet at the airport. I did not appreciate waiting at the airport late at night after 20 hours of flying, exhausted, wanting to go to my hotel to sleep. Did not sit well with me and my trip started off with a bad taste in my mouth. Luckily, my driver Hasan met me with a huge smile and a friendly personality, I totally let go of the experience at the airport!

Valleys Hiking And Abseiling ( MUJEB VALLEY- SIQ TRAIL )

Jordan

I had so much fun I would go back and do this again! I got lucky because one of the lifeguards told me that the day I went was the last day they were open and that they were going to be closed for 5 days straight. Not sure if this is true, but I'm glad I went when I did. They give you a life jacket which you have to wear no matter how great of a swimmer you are. I highly enjoyed this fun water adventure. It was challenging because you have to climb up rocks,and boulders, hang on to ropes, know how to swim, but the scenery, the gorge, the rocks, and the waterfall at the end was so WORTH it. The only thing is that I wish I had were water sandals or water shoes. I just had my sneakers which is still OK to use, as I had another pair of sneakers with me for the rest of my trip. Water shoes/sandals would be a lot easier. Also, I did pay 10 Dinera to rent a water proof bag to hold my cell phone which is a rip off so bring your own waterproof bag if you want to bring your cell phone to take pictures. Highly recommend it. I love water adventures so this was a highlight of my trip.

Karak Citadel

Jordan

The Dead Sea was amazing but the Kerak Castle experience could have been better. The reason is because I started my sightseeing with a local who was sitting outside the castle and decided to try and be a "guide." He followed me inside and I let him. He started talking about the castle but it was hard to understand him because his English wasn't great. All he did was point out each room to me and I heard bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and that's about it. I didn't really hear the history and the story behind each room. He helped me take some pictures and then at one point he stopped and asked me if I wanted him to continue further and if so, he would then become my guide. I was like that's fine. I know he wanted a tip and I didn't care either way at that point in time. Of course, after I wish I just went on my own to explore the castle. This local man continued to walk through the Castle with me and as his English isn't great, he wasn't much of a guide and didn't explain anything of value to me compared to a "real" guide. At the end, I gave him 5 dinera which was generous considering he wasn't a real guide and was just a local trying to pretend to be a guide in order to get money in the form of tips. He then asked me for 10 dinera, can you believe it?? We were right beside a large group of tourists with a REAL guide (thinking back I should have just signed up with a real guide but my driver didn't mention it and I didn't think about it). I was so tempted to call him out and say out loud that he is not a real guide and he did not deserve 10 dinera. I ignored the man and left on my way. He did not deserve 10 dinera and my driver even told me 5 dinera was generous for the local man. Left a bad taste in my mouth and colored my experience of the Castle. On another note, the restaurant my driver took me to, Kir Heres restaurant was excellent. The food was amazing.

Quality of Experience

Stop the local people from pretending to be a guide just because they want money in the form of tips. They are taking business away from the real guides who actually have knowledge and experience and provide value.

Wadi Rum (Full Day)

Jordan

I enjoyed my time in Wadi Rum. My guide was great, but in the beginning, it was challenging and a bit difficult to know what was going on. I was asking for my guide once I arrived at Enjoy Desert camp but I didn't really get a straight answer. It wasn't very clear what was going on or what activity I would be going on first. I stored my luggage in a room and some staff told me to go and have lunch first and that afterwards my guide will meet me. The lunch was good and I enjoyed the buffet lunch of chicken, rice and salad. Afterwards, I again asked where is my guide and what activity I should go on first. I am someone who likes things to be organized and likes things to go according to the itinerary as planned. I also respect when I am handed off properly to the right people for my activities. I had 3 activities planned for the day before I rushed to the airport. Luckily, my flight was a red eye flight at 1am the next morning. Finally I went on a camel ride first which I think it just a one time experience for me. I enjoyed the camel ride but my bum hurt :) The 4x4 jeep adventure was so much fun. I really enjoyed it with my guide who was also the driver. He is a young fellow but very knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. He had so many great and creative ideas for taking photos that I ended up with some amazing photos! After the 4x4 jeep adventure, I went on a hike with my guide where we ended up watching the sunset. I wish I had time to spend on night in Wadi Rum to star gaze and enjoy the red desert but another time! Overall, I enjoyed my time at wadi rum and would absolutely go back again.

Trekking from Dana to Feynan lodge

Jordan

The trek didn't start off as planned. I spoke to my Bedouin hiking guide the day before on the phone and his name was Mohammad. His English was pretty good. We planned to meet at 9am to start our trek at Wadi Dana Eco-camp where I was staying overnight. At 8:30am I was informed my hiking guide Mohammad arrived. I was a little surprised because we agreed to meet at 9am the day before. In any case, I hurried and finished packing and brought my luggage up next to the dining area and met my guide Mohammad. My luggage would be transported to Feynan. Before I started the hike, I asked my guide Mohammad if I needed hiking poles. He said no. My hiking poles were in my luggage. We went on our way and started our hike. During our hike, my guide spoke very little and I tried to engage in some conversation with him. I realized somewhere along our hike, there was something wrong. My guide didn't speak much English and he was hiking faster than me. While trying to keep up with him, and going downhill that was fairly steep, I slipped on some gravel/rocks. The fall was pretty bad. I punctured my skin on my left leg and was bleeding. My left thigh was completely bruised and my left arm was scraped up. At this point, I was really frustrated. I didn't have my first aid kid with me and my guide who didn't speak much English did not have a first aid kid with him either. He didn't have any antibiotic ointment or bandages. All he had was a thin white wrap that I used to wrap my leg in where my skin was punctured pretty badly. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue hiking as it was a pretty bad fall. I heard him take a phone call and wasn't sure who he was talking to. It turns out I went with the wrong guide! Both guides were named Mohammad and for some reason, the staff at Wadi Dana Eco-camp where I stayed the night before called a local hiking guide in the area to meet me. I'm really not sure why as I booked everything all inclusive with Enjoy Jordan. There was no communication between anyone at Enjoy Jordan or the staff at Wadi Dana Eco-camp. I felt this could have been totally avoided and I wouldn't have ended up leaving with the wrong hiking guide. In any case, I continued to walk slowly after being injured on my fall. My guide found a study enough branch that I could use as a pole to guide me on my trek. My hiking guide and I walked just a little bit further to meet my real guide at a location on the trail. While waiting for my real guide, I was just frustrated because this whole situation could have been avoided in the first place. My real guide who spoke better English showed up with his truck and my luggage at the meeting point. Once I had my luggage, I cleaned up, and put on antibiotic ointment and bandages. My real guide offered me this bread (I forgot the name). It was bread most Jordanians eat for breakfast. It was SO GOOD. I think that made up for the fall and the wrong guide. Afterwards, I decided I was OK to continue on my hike to Feynan. I made sure I walked slowly and checked on my injuries along the way. Along the hike, I really enjoyed the scenery and my guide and I met up with a young shepherd, herding his goats and sheep. We also met up with another group of hikers (3 french hikers, a French Jordanian hiking guide, and a Bedouin guide) along the way which was nice. With several breaks along the way and a cup of Arabic tea, we arrived at Feynan Eco Lodge. The day didn't start out great but it sure ended great. I didn't let a fall ruin my hike and I enjoyed the journey from Dana to Feynan.

We spent two nights glamping in Wadi Rum and the jeep safari was terrific. Wadi Rum was my favorite part of the stay. I hope to spend more time there in the future. You have to enjoy nature and silence to spend more than one night here.

My family loved every second of our stay in Jordan. We really did feel like family. Our guide Nader was not only informative, he made us feel safe. He gave us advice on places to eat, he helped us out when it came to bargaining while we shopped.

Nader made our trip one we will never forget. He was kind, caring, and patient with my family. My father got sick on our first day and he was very attentive, he got my father some tea and medicine to ease his stomach. Nader is a terrific driver as well, the Kings Way is absolutely beautiful but also a bit scary. He eased my mom's fear of heights.

My family said this was one if the best trips we ever had and the process was seamless. We would definitely recommend booking with Samir.

Petra Moon was changed to the Premier Elite and may have been similar quality but one (Petra Moon) was in the hub of the Petra area and the other was in the dark outskirts. Thus, not the same, as when the guide called about the change from the documented itinerary, the office response was the Elite is better (not) , The downgrade was at the Wadi Rum camp here the room was stated on "EJ" (aka Samir) printed documentation guide and driver carried. Thus, the top of the line room (all booked up!) and thus we were in standard accommodation. First time we have ever been downgraded (:.
A few days prior to leaving I would have thought Samir (EJ) would have touched base to see if we were alive and to "assure" the customer. No response thus we emailed him just to assure him we were coming and our plans re: flight etc had not changed. Also one would think the agent was inform us of the names of the driver and guide in advance. I would suspect that that EJ (Samir) might respond that a disclaimer of "things may change but all quality will remain the same) would be appropriate. Maybe in his eyes but in ours a communication well in advance of those changes would be appropriate and certainly not by us calling attention that the final documentation the driver and guide carries states what we were told. I have my own suspicions as to why the changes occurred. Some other annoyances and concerns between his staff and our interaction with them was really pushed at us and was a little uncomfortable.
We have traveled extensively independently and using "my terms" booking agents (i.e. Black Tomato, Belmond, A and K, Kensington, ATR to name a few). This journey overall was only slightly dented by KimKim local agents / company. My suggestion is to really check out the local agent and get final truly final verified document. KimKim and, at least the agent need to acquaint themselves with the service RATER principle.

Awesome trip in Jordan, getting to know the country throughout a full week's travel. Samir was quick and efficient in helping us put together a plan in short notice for our trip and everything ran smoothly once we were there.

Rum Valley Sunrise Hike

Wadi Rum

This was actually a camel ride instead of a hike. We really enjoyed the time on the camels but felt it was a bit short as half way through we stopped to sit and light a fire and drink tea whilst the sun rose. We would have preferred to see the sunrise whilst on the camels and actually covering a greater distance on the camels.

Thank you to the Kim Kim team, Samir and Nadir for making this vacation truly memorable.

Our driver Wasef was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, always prompt and always very cheerful and chatty Brenda and I loved spending so many days with him. As a suggestion one day in wadi Rum we felt would have been enough. Also you should tell people that there is no internet, radio and NO alcohol. All in all Jordan was fabulous and all arrangements worked well especially the airport arrival and departure. read more

She gave us an itinerary that matched the exact experience we wanted while still giving us the flexibility to change things around if needed. She was always prompt in responding to any messages and concerns we had before and during the trip.

Everyone we encountered in Jordan made our trip special. Our two drivers were great. Ali was very fun and interactive. He always knew the good places to stop for travelers and would always take a picture if needed. Khalid was exceptional and made our trip better in so many ways. He always gave us suggestions on ways we could make our trip better and probably knows the entire history of Jordan. In fact, he helped organize two excursions that weren’t even on our itinerary. We didn’t have Mount Nebo on our radar, but he was able to make it happen. I can’ t say enough on how great Khalid is and anybody that encounters him as a driver for Amani tours should consider themselves lucky.

Every tour guide we had that Amani set up was fantastic. The Wadi Ghuweir hike in Dana was a lot of fun and our guide Isaa went at a perfect pace for my girlfriend and I and was super friendly (and funny). Nada set up a dinner with a Bedouin family and it was a great experience. They were very welcoming and the food was delicious.

The accommodations in Jordan were great as well. In particular the Wadi Rum Luxury Night Camp and Dana Guesthouse were our two favorite. Both experiences were unique in that they offered great views from our room and had a wonderful staff. We also enjoyed Ajloun Cabins as well. The lone criticism I have from the trip is our stay in Amman. The Signature Hotel was the worst stay we had by far. The staff was unresponsive to our concerns about the air in our room after we made two phone calls. Additionally, the room and service were not up to par for a “4 star hotel”.

I can’t say enough about the great job the KimKim team and Amani tours did for our Jordan trip. It certainly is a once in a lifetime trip and Hasina and I thank you for making our vacation a special one.

The best place we stayed in Jordan. Glamping under the stars was one of the most memorable experience we had from our trip. The room was spacious and clean and we surprisingly had a great shower and toilet in our bubble tent. Additionally the food was fantastic and we enjoyed the show that the chef and staff put on in the evening. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Wadi Ghuweir Hike

Dana

This was such a fun hike. Isaa was a great guide and made this a memorable experience. This is an all day hike and probably 8 to 10 miles according to our guide. It was a hard hike but we had read online about the difficulty so we were well prepared for the terrain. Anyone thinking about this hike should be in good shape as there are some climbing aspects involved. The driver had a lunch prepared after the hike that was absolutely delicious.

Hike from Little Petra to Petra

Jordan

This is an incredible hike that allows you to hike from little Petra to Petra via the backwards way through the mountains. Therefore you see the Monastery first and the Treasury last. It is a difficult hike, especially to get to the Monastery but we enjoyed it. This is apparently not a popular route because there was a little confusion with our driver that morning. He believed we were just seeing little Petra before being transported to Petra by car. In the future, I would suggest just making the drivers and staff more aware of this hike. Once we straightened out the confusion with the office (Nada helped us out immensely) the hike was wonderful and they set us up with a local guide that gave us a lot of good information about Petra.

We visited Wadi Rum (The Desert, with beautiful landscapes), Petra, and Amman. We were originally scheduled to go in March 2020, so of course that didn't happen. We had a whole itinerary laid out. It was re-scheduled and canceled twice more due to Covid. During that time, Sarah, who was most helpful, left Kim Kim, and we were handed off to Nada. Nada worked so hard, dealing with airline schedule changes to change the itinerary. I believe this happened three different times, but every time, Nada came thru. Our driver in Jordan the first two days was Bayan, and he was funny and friendly and showed us the sites as we drove thru Jordan. We spent the first night in a Bedouin Camp in the desert, and while rustic, it was beautiful and everything we expected (including Air Conditioning and a full bath!) The next day we were taken to Petra where the sites are just incredible. Buildings carved right into the mountainside. We were escorted thru the Petra site with a guide named Basil, who was very friendly and learned, and explained how the people (The Nabateans) here lived and worked. Then we were driven to Amman, where because of flight delays, we asked the driver to show us a little of the city before taking us to the airport. He (Ali) was most accomodating, and we saw the Blue Mosque, and the Citidel, a fort built by the Romans 2000 years ago. Then we flew to Egypt

In Egypt, we were met at the airport, taken thru security and had a car (driven by Mustafa) take us to our hotel. We were supposed to have a dinner cruise on the Nile, but couldn't make it because of flight delays. No worries, Nada rescheduled it for the next night. Mustafa and our guide Ibrihim picked us up the next day and took us to the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum of Civilization. A wonderful place with many artifacts some as old as 35000 years. It also had mummies, some were 5000 years old. An Ibrihim explained it all. Very cool. That night we had our dinner cruise on the Nile, which was a lot of fun.

The last day we saw the Alabaster Mosque and the Hanging Church, and learned of their historical significance. Another wonderful day. At midnight, Mustafa was back to pick us up and take us to the airport.

The things to take away from this is
1. For 2+ years and two local specialists, Kim Kim organized and re-organized the perfect tour designed just for us.

2. The Drivers and Guides were friendly, kept us safe, kept us informed to changes along the way, and truly added to the value and enjoyment of our trip. We feel most fortunate that we had them with us.

3. Most of all Nada, our specialist was a great asset. She helped us with finalizing things, suggesting changes, and setting everything up. And as I said this was over the course of 2+ years.
Everyting worked. We were never stuck, and we always had someone with us.

We HIGHLY recommend Kim Kim Tours, and Nada in particular. We will certainly use them again

He was available 24/7 with his WhatsApp, if we had any question he promptly reply.

Upon arrival from New York, we were warmly welcomed by the guy (forgot the name) from Enjoy Jordan travels. The immigration process is very quick, our names were mentioned on the board, and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start!

We got introduced to Mr. Shareef who is our guide/driver for our whole 8 days trip. Mr. Shareef picked us from Airport and brought us to our hotel.

Each morning of the tour, he would arrive promptly at 8am to take us to the next destination on the tour. On each day, Mr. Shareef would describe in detail the history and information regarding the area we were in- whether that be a site of Islamic history or Roman/Byzantine history He is fluent in English and knows how to handle the customers with respect and professionalism.

“We had a wonderful tour with Mr. Shareef. We enjoyed it greatly, all the detailed information he provided, and his patience with us telling all the historic events. Mr. Shareef is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide. He drove very professionally on high mountain roads, he knew all the areas, food, restaurants, historical places either it’s an Islamic history or roman/Byzantine history.

He was very respectful when we asked questions and very knowledgeable regarding historic sites. He was also very friendly with us and the people he would interact with, always making polite conversations. Furthermore, he was even willing to take photos and videos of us and the area, so we could experience it without focusing on doing it ourselves.

Mr. Shareef also is very knowledgeable about Jordan in general. He knew the high mountain roads incredibly well, knew restaurants for us to try out, even knew the routes on our tour incredibly well. At most of the sites, in fact, Mr. Shareef had connections which resulted in faster service and a better full immersion into our tour of Jordan.

I wholeheartedly believe that had we done the tour of Jordan without Mr. Shareef, we would not have been able to experience Jordan as well as we did.

Many thanks to Mr. Shareef, and I recommend Kimkim/Enjoy Jordan to anyone who is considering a tour in Jordan!

I booked this trip in 2018 and was never given the option to be refunded so our family moved forward with Kim Kim and booked the trip for this summer as an addition to visiting family in Israel.
The tour was well organized but not clearly explained to me and the border crossing was confusing and exhausting to say the least. I think a step-by-step run down of how the crossing works and all the check points would be helpful. When I got we finally crossed from Israel into Jordan and meet the driver Ackhram we were informed that one person from our group had been left off the paperwork this delayed us an additional 2 hours at the border. This was not corrected when we returned 4 days later and had an additional delay of 2 hours. Once in the Van we got to meet the driver who I found RUDE and OFFENSIVE. Within our 1st hour together I was informed that the "United states faked the moon landing" mind you I had 2 Aerospace engineers in the van with me. I was told America created Isis and that Donald Trump was a great business man. I find both of those statements highly offensive. He was aggressive with his misguided facts and argued with me on my vacation about these items for well over an hour. He only stopped when I asked him to pull over so we could call the company and request a new driver. I opted just to let this go as we were so behind due to the border crossing delays. Ackhram was on time everyday and we did do our full schedule that I was happy about. I wasn't happy when Ackhram told us not to buy items in Petra that he would take us to a great shop with lots of options. This turned out to be a gas station with tacky items nothing that you couldn't get anywhere in Jordan. It was very clear that our driver had cut deals with stores all along the route but thats OK, just be honest with me there were some metal items in Petra I passed on buying expecting them to be available in this great shop. Whenever I told our driver something he didn't want to hear, such as I didn't love the Dead Sea Spa hotel (full of running screaming children) or his shop had tacky items I was dismissed and told I was wrong. Also Nada at the agency was delayed in responses we could never have a conversation every msg was delayed. I will say both drivers we had in Israel were much nicer with much more professional attitudes.

Samir was AMAZING to work with: super responsive, endlessly helpful, and made our trip seamless. My husband and I are picky travelers (we know exactly what we want!) so we went through several rounds of revisions with Samir - but he was *so* patient, and always delivered answers and changes really quickly. I can't emphasize on awesome he was at this!

Our trip went off without a hitch, in part because of the private driver, Mohammed, that Samir set up for us for our whole vacation. He made changes with us along the way as we changed our minds about small details, and we always enjoyed his company and felt taken care of and safe.

Regarding our itinerary, my husband and I spent a total of two weeks in Jordan and we really did *everything*. I'd recommend taking that much time making sure you make the most of this beautiful historic place!

Here's some of things we did
- Historic sites (Jerash, Petra, Umm Qais, often with private guides)
- Outdoor adventuring (Make sure you do Wadi Al-Mujib!)
- Desert (desert castles, Wadi Rum)
- cultural experiences (cooking class, museums)

Thanks again for the perfect trip to Jordan, Samir!

Trekking from Dana to Feynan lodge

Jordan

One of the favorite days of our trip! Even though it was a long hot day, it really helped that the trail was all downhill. And our guide, a local Bedouin, was excellent! He was patient, funny, and cooked us a perfect meal on a campfire along the trail

Petra By Candle Light

Jordan

This is a great thing to do *IF* it's your very first view of Petra and the Treasury. The candlelight effect is really nice, and we got lucky enough to see the moon over the canyon, too. However, I wouldn't add this if you've already been to Petra :) all it is is a walk to the Treasury by candlelight, sitting on carpets and drinking a little tea, some local musicians, then shining floodlights on the Treasury building

We had never heard of KimKim prior to booking this trip. Once we read the reviews, we were sure this is the agency to go with...and we were NOT disappointed. Our local specialist, Nada, helped us plan our trip from A to Z. She had really good recommendations, travel advice and was extremely responsive.

Our driver, Awni Naser, who was with us for 5 days carting us around the sights of Jordan was exceptional as well. Very knowledgeable and helped re-arrange our itinerary slightly based on our needs for an even better experience. He gave us excellent pointers during the entire trip.
Our Jordan trip included Amman, Kerak, Mt. Nebo, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum and Dead sea. Wadi Rum and Petra were the highlights for us. We stayed in a panoramic dome "tent" (in Aicha camp, highly recommend the accommodations and food here). Nada also organized a dinner for us with a local Petra family, which was nice to see how people in the area live. We highly recommend the Petra By Night tour, it is simple and quite magical.
Overall, we have nothing but good things to say about our trip - very well organized and executed. We will definitely book with KimKim again for our next adventure. 5 stars all around (would rate it higher than 5 stars if we could!). Thank you very much, Nada and Awni!

The booking process with our travel specialist Ms Nada was smooth. She was responsive to various suggestions and modifications to the itinerary and provided very good services. The payment process was very trustworthy through the Kimkim platform and is one of the big advantages of using the service from overseas. We got full service on the ground in Jordan. As far as hotel bookings, any special requests around late check out, attached rooms etc were fully accommodated. The pricing of the package seemed very fair. The highlight was the excellent services provided by our Jordanian tour guide Mr Emad Fraihat, who was much more than our driver. He had tremendous local knowledge, spoke English fluently, and very high customer service orientation. When trip ended and we had some hiccups at the airport, Mr Emad did his best to help us. I recommend Kimkim, Amani tours, Ms Nada and Mr Fraihat to make your Jordan visit smooth.

Decent hotel, but room was a little tired and also we had issues with toilet flushing - it did not have enough power and water so it clogged at some point. Every time we had to flush we were concerned it might get clogged again (we would prefer to relax in vacation not getting stressed each time we had to go to toilet).

Good hotel, but a little bit too crowded - especially at breakfast, In 2 days we were not able to get a capuchins at breakfast - we asked but they said they don’t have - for a 5 star hotel I don’t think this is acceptable. Another issue was the beach - it was not well prepared - especially the entrance in the water - based on the layout there is a lot of work which needs to be done to bring the beach at 5 star hotel level.

I suggest to go to another hotel such as Movenpick.
