Jordan
Private and Luxury Tour of Arabia
Famous the world over for their Bedouin ethic of hospitality, Jordan is a gem of the middle east that delights and surprises. Jordan offers the traveler a piece of living history that they can walk through and experience. While the evidence of Jordan's colorful history tantalizes the traveler, it is closer to you than you would think if the only images you have seen of Jordan are in films.
Our Tours: The best way to see Jordan is to extend your vacation to Egypt, Turkey, Syria or Israel and Palestine for either two or three days. Extend your visit on a guaranteed departure basis.
Our visits to the Kingdom of Jordan can be added on to tours to neighboring countries. The hotels we use have been carefully selected to ensure your comfort.
Come with us to explore this country's treasures. We'll visit the Siq, the narrow, winding fissure between sandstone cliffs to the Treasury (that amazing building made so famous in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and the lost city of Petra, carved into the rose red Shara mountains by the Nabateans.

President Obama- Tourist for the Day!
President Obama ended his tour of the Middle East in Petra, Jordan,
which he says, "Has always been a safe haven." He enjoyed
his tour inside the ancient city and bought souvenirs from one of the
handicraft shops for his family. Minister of Tourism and Antiquities
Nayef Al-fayez, President and members of Petra Tourism and Development
Authority, and his guide, Dr. Suleiman A.D. Al Farajat, professor of
tourism at the University of Jordan, were there to greet and accompany
the President as he toured Petra.
Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Nayef Al Fayez highlighted the importance
of President Obama's visit to Petra on tourism in Jordan, and its role
in emphasizing Petra's position on the international tourism map. Furthermore,
Al Fayez considered this visit a testimonial to the safety and security
of Jordan amidst the turmoil in the region.
Petra has been visited by many royalties, presidents and celebrities.
This national treasure has made many appearances on films and television,
the most famous one to date has been Hollywood's "Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade" starring Harrison Ford in 1989. This rosy
city is one of the world's seven wonders, a UNESCO world heritage site
and Jordan's most famous tourist attraction. Petra continues to receive
hundreds of thousands of visitors yearly, and expects many more this
year. One should not only visit Petra for its amazing architecture and
history, but also to witness the safety, hospitality and friendliness
of the people of Jordan.

Hi Omar,
As our wonderful trip in Egypt is coming to an end I would like to give you some news on my experience so far.
It is amazing we have to worry about nothing. They anticipate everything in advance and are constantly checking with us to see if we need anything more.
They have changed the itinerary when we were too tired and needed down time. They adapted ther style of guiding to suit us. The team is wonderful. There are a few people that stand out for us. Upon arrival we were placed in the wonderful hands of Mohammed Mamdouh, who by the way is from Alexandria. He made all the difference for us from the start of our trip.
We were also invited to his family's place for supper. His cousin Kheida and her sons Tawfik and Mohanet where amazing. They spoilt us like crazy. We really felt honored to be a part of their family for that one night. The kids were also so great that I felt I was with my own nephews. Hedra in Asswan is a young man who is wise beyond his years. We spent two days with him and were sad to let him go. Ashraf is an amazing guide - I have learnt so much from him. I felt I had a brother in Egypt. We laughed so much we didn`t stop laughing and learning about the beauty of Egypt for three days. He took us to Om Kalssoom cafe a typical place for Shisha that was not touristic and we spent time there like old friends. Words are not enough to tell you how much Michael and I got attached to him. Soha our tour guide in Cairo has amazing knowledge. She makes history come alive and watches out for us like a mother over her children. All our drivers where fantastic - my two favorites are the ones in Luxor and on our second trip to Caior after Luxor - I think his nameis Assam - he looked out for us as if he was Horus our protector.
Thank you so much, Omar, for putting these beautiful people in our path through Egypt. It is making my visit back to my homeland extra special.
