Jordan is a destination that has gained in popularity in the last 5 years. A very much loved destination in the Middle East, we offer it too - but with a twist, working with locals, and offering an experience that carries more authenticity, with a focus on helping and empowering local communities.
This is a very specific offer to Jordan, with locations that are completely off classic touristic circuits. We will sleep in off the beaten track locations, and trendy hotels, we will enjoy experiences that are still under not sought after in Lebanon.
This trip is offered once a month, and depending on the season, there will be 1 day of the trip that will change to offer either Dana, or Wadi Rum or Feynan (there will be an extra 100USD charged for this specific option because it is more expensive). The trip can also be offered on a private basis, but prices may vary.
Please note that pictures are not reflective of the itinerary but of the trip in general, and are in no particular order.
Also note that the trip can be offered on a private basis - but reservations must be done 50 days in advance and price may vary based on availability, date and number of people.
This is Jordan the way we love it. Authentic, real, raw, beautiful, rich, multilayered. From the historic sites to the people, Jordan reveals its secrets and beauty - far from the itineraries offered everywhere.
Like each trip, this one takes into account the local communities well being and all experiences offered are respectful of the people.
