Raísa Jorge

I hold a degree in Journalism but became a travel agent by passion. I am a fortunate person who has chosen two careers leading to the greatest experiences one can possibly have: New places, tastes, essences, people and their life-changing stories.

I'm originally Brazilian but have found myself on the other side of the World. My journey through Middle East & Asia started in 2012 and it is nowhere close to an end.
This region is an endless source of unforgettable experiences and we, at Experience Jordan, want to share the best with you. Our team is not only very professional, and capable of providing you the perfect trip, but also very passionate about their countries and work.

Prepare yourself for loads of fun and new discoveries. We promise you a lifetime adventure!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We specialize in adventure and experiential tours of the Middle East, particularly Jordan and Israel Palestine, offering hiking, biking, and experiential sightseeing tours. Our experienced guides will take you off the beaten path, to see the real highlights of the region, meeting the people, experiencing the hospitality and tasting the delights of the Middle East.

We aim to be the best inbound tour operator in the region, offering you the perfect trip, tailored to your specific requirements at affordable prices, with excellent customer service.

We know you’ll love our trips, because they are all the result of our own adventures around the region, sharing all the authentic treasures we have found and love. All the Experience Jordan team love exploring and we’re here to help you create the perfect tour for your needs, whether it’s sightseeing, hiking, cycling or family adventures. Do you want to stay with a local family, camp out under the stars in the desert, learn to cook Arabic food, explore the markets, ride a camel, engage with the people and even learn some Arabic greetings? Our international team has traveled the world, so we know what it’s like to be travelers, so we aim to give you outstanding service and include the best practices we’ve learned global into our trips.

As part of our commitment to the people of Jordan, we continue to pioneer new tours and experiences to create jobs and generate income for our local partners throughout the country, both in Amman, but also in the rural communities and Bedouin families across Jordan."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Back in 2011, I started working in an NGO which provides exchange program for university students. Through this organization, I've done my first trip abroad to [a not-so-usual first destination] India.

That experience was dramatically life-changing. After few months exploring the country, its culture & people, I was bitten by the travel bug and I went back to Brazil knowing exactly what I wanted for my life.

My next destination was Jordan and here I am since 2013 working in the travel industry, aiming to share with other travelers at least a bit of the huge and amazing experience it's been living here."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Besides India and Jordan. I have been to other countries in Asia and my ultimate experience was certainly in Afghanistan.

This war-torn country, normally avoided by most of travelers, has some of the most beautiful and unexplored landscapes in the World.

Hiking through the mountains of some very remote areas and dealing with the incredible hospitality of Afghan people have changed my life perspective forever. And, as weird as it sounds, I have never felt so peaceful like those days."

An amazing experience. Guides at Jerash and Petra very knowledgeable, clear and friendly. Our driver Mo'ayad was full of information, made us feel very welcome and in safe hands. Abu Mishal entertained us on the desert tour. Jordan was full of unexpected delights and very varied.

An amazing trip! Thank you Raisa for accommodating all my requests from start to finish. (it was a long time in the making) A special shout out to our guide Sayel who ensured that our safety, comfort and our every need was addressed from day one through to day five. His handpicked guides were outstanding. As with any trip there will be minor hiccups along the way, however Sayel addressed it masterfully. Thanks to all who made this a wonderful experience.

Spectacular sites and great memories. The hike to the Monastery in Perta was a great day! My leftover chicken from My Mom's Recipe restaurant was the perfect treat at the top!

The accommodations organized by KimKim were very comfortable, including the glamping in Wadi Rum.

Special thanks to Raisa for organizing our route and hotels etc. She was very responsive to all our questions and put together a perfect itinerary for the time we had available.

We also want to thank our guide Mahmoud--what a friendly guy. Came to us every morning with a huge smile. He certainly knew his Jordan history and was able to give us details and answer questions about the various sites we visited.

And our driver was great too. Haithim (spelling?) was safe and speedy. He too, came everyday with a big smile.

Well done by the KimKim team.

Trip was overall very good. We visited Jordan and Israel.

The driver (Mohamed) and guide (Mahmood) in Jordan were super nice, helpful, knowledgeable and made all efforts to please us. The places we visited in Jordan were amazing.

Border crossing back and forth was pretty seamless.

In the Israel side everything went well, but attention and service was a notch lower than in Jordan. Our guide and drivers were very nice, but we had a couple of delays that could have been avoided. The tour in Jerusalem was amazing and our guide Noah was accommodating to our needs. The drive up north to Nazareth and Galilee was a bit too long.

Planning was good. It was a slightly complicated, yet well laid out trip. I wish responsiveness had been slightly faster.

In general, I recommend KimKim and the staff who helped us make the trip an unforgettable one.

We had a wonderful trip to Jordan Israel and Palestine. The guide and drivers were very informative and always punctual and took very good care of us. They checked us in at each hotel and tourist site and organized e.g. donkey ride through Petra for our youngest. The children especially developed a good relationship with Mahmood who entertained them as well.
The hotels were all excellent except the last hotel in Tel Aviv (Grand Beach). My request was 5 star only and this hotel was not 5 star and the service and rooms were not great. Also location wise it was far from Carmel Market and Jaffa.
The guides all adjusted the schedules as appropriate and rebooked experiences for us when needed so we would not miss out on anything and get the best and fullest trip. E.g snorkeling, Jerusalem tour. All in all the trip went exactly as planned and by using kimkim all the stress and organisation hassle on site was taken out and we could just enjoy the trip which was fantastic. Jerusalem, Palestine and jordan were amazing historically and with respect to nature.

Jawad, my guide, was perfect, knowledgeable, engaging, just all around great fun! My Bedouin guide made the most fabulous tea every day he was with us, and our cook for the evenings when were were camping made the most amazing dinners and fabulous breakfasts the next morning. Everywhere we stayed was unique and special and I enjoyed the special charactaristics of each place. The Lodge in Dana had the most amazing views from the room, Feynan ran by candle light and was beautiful, camping in the desert was so much fun, the Bedouin camps were an absolute treasure and a wonderful experience. While hiking (one of my upmost favorite activities) we got to see many birds, a blue lizard, herds of goats and sheep and camels and meet just the nicest people who asked us to stop for tea. What a welcoming and beautiful country Jordan is. Petra was breathtaking, and I truly appreciated Jawad's vast knowledge of the área, the people and the history. I got to go on my first ever camel ride in Wadi Rum, an experience I will never forget! The desert of Wadi Rum is truly beautiful - we even got to see some rock climbers! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the most amazing, unforgetable trip. This was truly the best!

We found dealing with Raisa very easy and she responding promptly to all our questions in the planning and lead up to this trip. The itinerary was very comprehensive and busy which suited us although with hindsight we did miss out on a few things (Guide in Jerash) and a tour of Amman which was not included. Some of the hotels were not up to a standard that we would like and in need of maintenance (faulty leaking showers) but overall we had a terrific trip.
