Jul 27 - Jul 31, 2022
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 itinerary, driver's contact details, hotel information etc. was all provided well in advance with a lot of detail so we knew what to expect.
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!
Hotel Reviews
Loved this hotel and location to the dead see. The pools and slides were a lot of fun. Dinner and breakfast were excellent too with a lot of variety.
The hotel and breakfast was good. However, they had separate days for men and women to use the pool. I understand the culture is different there but perhaps another hotel that doesn't have this rule would have been a better choice for us as travelers. After being out in the sun all day sight seeing, it would have been great for my husband and I to dip in the pool together to cool down.
Excellent location. The room was clean and well appointed. The breakfast was good but with limited choices.
We love this hotel. It was so comfortable and beautifully decorating. We were expecting more of a camping style stay here but this was definitely 5 star. Would recommend this to everyone. The breakfast and dinner were top notch - tons of variety and food to suit all palettes. We were also surprised with a complimentary star gazing activity. We weren't expecting much but were pleasantly surprised. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and took our picture under the stars with his special camera. This turned out to be the best photo of our trip to Jordan! Thank you, Sultan!
Thank you for this much appreciated review Shruti , helping you plan your trip was my pleasure :) Glad you enjoyed your time in Jordan and hope to have you back in the near future .
