Responsive, Dedicated, Dependable Guides - PERFECT Jordan/Israel Trip

Jordan | May 14 - May 23, 2022

LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED it. Highlight of our trip. So peaceful and unique.

Stop thinking. BOOK! Do the 4-hour sunset tour.

This place is one of (if not the) most architecturally beautiful buildings in East Jerusalem. It is also conveniently located close to the Old City, great dining locations, and tour group meeting spots. The rooms were simple, but more than adequate. The breakfast each morning was one of the better ones we had.

We picked this place because the website implied they had self-service laundry. They don't - this service stopped because of COVID so we had to find a place, but that worked out fine.

Charming, clean, extremely friendly hostess/owner, great location, and a great restaurant on site.

The restaurant on property is great. I tend to avoid restaurant hotels, but this is one of the better ones with one of the better settings.

Place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL in one of the most beautiful settings. However, if the sign didn't say "Dead Sea" I would not have known I was in the Middle East. American music was playing by the pool. Front desk also did a poor job checking us in.

Amazing hotel; location secluded - that is either a pro or negative depending on your style.

Just know that you will not be in the main town of Petra where you can walk around, etc., but the property itself is beautiful. Great for one night, but if I were staying there 2 nights I would be bored unless I booked a spa package at night.

Amazing hotel. My only regret is that we were there only one night. This is a place where you want to spend more time and have a hotel day. Next time!

Allow yourself some time at the hotel, but also allow yourself time to walk around the town- see you do need at least a weekend.

We skipped this (Thanks for not having us pre-pay) as we were exhausted! (It would not let me move on without giving a rating so I have it a 3 to try and be neutral.

Would just go ahead and make it a 4-hour jeep ride as the defalut.

This day was the highlight of my trip. Part of the reason I wanted a 'free day' was that I wanted to go into Ramallah to see where my family grew up. Our tour guide was instrumental in helping me find both my parent's home and we even met a family member living in one of the homes. Everyone we met in the area was great!

Jaffa was great! I wish I had allowed more time for Haifa and Tel Aviv. I was focused on the older part of Israel and underestimated these two amazing cities. I guess I have a reason to return.

Very simple and easy. Thank you!

Jarash and Ajloun were great, especially Aljoun. Sulaiman made everything super simple and we knew we were in good hands after he picked the most amazing lunch spot!

I should have noted on the review the day before that our guide arranged our COVID testing perfectly so that the physician met us at the hotel. We passed! And crossing the border into Israel was a breeze. Masada was great, but the hike down is tougher than you think. Maybe it was the heat, or maybe we are out of shape. My guess is both were part of the equation. So thankful we didn't hike up but paid for the ride. We skipped Qumran. We were too tired and just wanted to get to Jerusalem.

Beautiful scenery. Hotel in Tiberias was beyond fabulous.

A lot of things were closed because Sabbath started that evening. Watching what was going on that day was interesting, but we ended up finding First Station and had fun, but lively streets and markets were empty.

Overall, the car for the long grips was small for 3-people in the back seat. I'm short so I was fine, but my husband and son are very tall.
