Our trip was great , made easy through Kim Kim who we didn’t know about prior to the trip and simply booked online with them.

Highlights were Jaresh (a surprise as we didn’t know anything about it), Petra (there is plenty of time to hike to the Monastery (definitely worth doing) and the Dead Sea (the Movenpick resort is an amazing resort too), plus our driver Mohammed who was particularly knowledgeable, kind, accommodating and a safe driver.

The only negative was the accommodation in Wadi Rum- mazayen camp which was very run down and disappointing. Described as luxury but far from it! Everything was falling apart. Personally, I would give Wadi Rum a miss and do an extra night at Movenpick Dead Sea.

Really nice. Plus drinks and nibbles on pool deck were nice, pre dinner. Good location - close to Rainbow street

Mazayen Rum Camp
Al Dissi

Old, run down and grubby. The jacuzzi didn’t work and the front of it was propped up by a chair. The toilet seat was askew and the bathroom was old, with missing grout and grubby. Light bulbs not working and the bed was very old and battered. Far from luxury as advertised. Maybe school camp level at best. Would definitely delete wadi rum from the itinerary and have an extra night at the Dead Sea’s Movenpick resort

Authenticity & Character
The place needs an entire refurbishment

Mohammed our driver was an absolute stand out. Really nice fellow and beautifully spoken with a good sense of humour. Helped find someone to fix my shoe. Safe driver

Outstanding experience. The trip says you won’t have time to hike to the monastery but you easily can and it is just as amazing as the treasury and less crowded. Awesome day
