Amazing Visit to Petra and the Dead Sea
Our visit in Jordan was amazing! We travelled to Petra from Amman by luxury coach and then to the Dead Sea for our last day in Jordon. Our tour guide, Omar, did an excellent job of explaining in detail all of the historical and mythological background for all that we saw. Petra was fabulous - more than we’d ever imagined! This was the trip of a lifetime! We would highly recommend it.

A day to cherish as a memory
First of all, my compliments to my driver Marwan Khawaja and the guide in Petra, they helped make it a fantastic day.
Petra is impressive, a marvellous sight and definitely worth a visit. It’s incredible that so long ago, people created something so beautiful with such precision.
The journey from Petra to the Dead Sea is an experience in itself, with stunning landscapes, beautiful views and colours. I wasn’t bored for a single minute.
I just wanted to see the Dead Sea once and lie in it, a very unique (and salty) experience, you simply float and will probably have to be careful not to fall asleep.
In short, a day to cherish as a memory.
Operator response
Dear Frank,
Thank you for sharing such a vivid account of your day. Petra and the Dead Sea make for a truly memorable combination, and we are delighted that the journey itself, with its changing landscapes and views, was just as enjoyable as the destinations.
We especially appreciate your kind words about Marwan Khawaja and your Petra guide. We will be very happy to pass your compliments on to them.
It is wonderful to know that this became a day you will cherish, and we thank you for choosing Jordan Horizons Tours to be part of it.
Best regards,

Short stay but great trip and never to be forgotten memories
We had only two full days in Amman but we had fantastic visits to Jarash & Dead Sea on day 1 and Petra on day 2. Our private tour was very meticulously organised by Jordan Horizons Tours. The tour guide Samir at Jarash speaks very good English and has 35 years of experience in the job. His guidance was in detail and at a pace exactly what we needed. Petra tour had been a remarkable one with a very young guide Shaker. He is very polite and has caring attitude. He is an excellent photographer too. He has taken a few photos of us with great skills that will remain in our album forever.
Very pleased with the driver Amjad who was with us on both days.
Aida from Jordan Horizons Tour was available at all times for any information and help we needed. Thank you Aida. We are leaving Amman with great memories never to be forgotten.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed Jarash, Petra, and the Dead Sea. Aida, Amjad, Samir, and Shaker all send their regards. Your kind words mean a lot and we’re honored to be part of your journey.

A Memorable Holiday in Jordan
We had a wonderful three day holiday in Jordan thanks to Aida and her team. We had a car and a driver Mr Hisham to ourselves. Mr Hisham was a very good driver cum guide. On Day-1 we visited Ajloun Castle, Jerash & Amman city. On Day-2, we visited Petra and Wasi Rum. In fact we spent the night in a Bedouin style camp in the desert. It was a wonderful experience. Our guide in Petra was really good and very helpful. On Day-3, we visited the Dead Sea Resort and took a dip in the Dead Sea.
Operator response
We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful three-day holiday with us! It's great to know that Aida and Mr. Hisham were able to make your trip memorable. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Don’t miss this trip!
What a great trip! JHT provided us with a fantastic driver, Alladin, who was not only an excellent driver but a wonderful companion, very knowledgeable and considerate. Our guide through Petra, Moumoud, was exceptional. He showed us sites within the gorge that would easily be missed by others. The Dead Sea experience should not be missed! Thank you Jordan Horizons. You were completely reliable and we appreciated everything!!

He suggested the best itinerary with the locations we wanted to visit .. Out driver Mr Faed .. was the best driver we could have for this trip . I believe is an asset to this company . We had an insistent and we needed to visit hospital while we have been in the middle of the dessert.. Mr Faed help us to all this !

Great agency for a wonderful trip to Jordan
Great organization!!!
We made a 7 day trip starting from Amman, Jerash, Madaba, Mount Nebo, Petra, Dead Sea and back to Amman. Our guide Gassad , For GAS Friends, guided us throughout our journey. He was professional, nice, kind, very helpful. Many thanks to our two drivers and our last day companion Amjad Hlalat , a smiling young boy who ended our journey excellently. Many thanks to all of you who gave us the opportunity to know your land very different from ours but that gave us strong emotions.
We will not forget you!!!
