  The tour allowed us to get to know the main places in Jordan and have a complete vision of the country. To get to Lot's Cave, the guide suggested doing it with a car, but when getting off it, we had to climb more than 200 steps on foot, of which the guide did not know because he had never been there and it is an important fact to mention for those with reduced mobility. In Betania we spent more than 40 minutes in a souvenir shop but later on the Jordan River the guide said that we didn't have time to see the Orthodox church. We were able to enter at the insistence of the group. We were not told that we could dive into the Jordan River to bring towels and change clothes, other tourists did. The visit to Jerash was very interesting and surprising for the conservation of the ruins. In the Wadi Rum camp it would have been enough to prepare a handbag. This would have avoided loading and unloading the suitcases of all passengers, speeding up the transfer. The camel ride was 45 minutes according to the itinerary but only of 15 according to the guide. Given the claim of several passengers with the agency, it was carried out as indicated. In the Dead Sea, a brief explanation of how to apply the mud to take advantage of its properties would have been good. Excellent Holiday Inn hotel on the Dead Sea. /=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/= El tour nos permitió conocer los principales lugares de Jordania y tener una visión completa del país. Para llegar a la Cueva de Lot el guía sugirió hacerlo con un auto pero al bajar del mismo hubo que subir a pie más de 200 escalones de los cuales el guía no sabía porque nunca había ido y es un dato importante mencionar para aquellas personas con movilidad reducida. En Betania estuvimos más de 40 minutos en un negocio de souvenirs pero después en el río Jordán el guía dijo que no teníamos tiempo para ver la iglesia ortodoxa. Pudimos entrar ante la insistencia del grupo. No nos avisaron que podíamos sumergirnos en el río Jordán como para llevar toallas y ropa para cambiarse, otros turistas lo hicieron. La visita a Jerash resultó muy interesante y sorprendente por la conservación de las ruinas. En el campamento de Wadi Rum hubiera sido suficiente preparar un bolso de mano. Esto hubiera evitado el bajar y subir las valijas de todos los pasajeros, agilizando el traslado. El viaje en camello era de 45 minutos según el itinerario pero solo de 15 según el guía. Ante el reclamo de varios pasajeros con la agencia, se realizó de acuerdo a lo indicado. En el Mar Muerto hubiera estado bien una breve explicación de cómo colocarse el barro para aprovechar sus propiedades. Excelente el hotel Holiday Inn en el Mar Muerto.

  Overall it was a very interesting, informative trip. Felt on the Egypt portion there were too many people involved with different airport assistants etc. Also the food on the Nile cruise was not as good as expected. Would have liked an printed up to date itinerary for each country not just Israel and to have known what extra expenses were involved.

  This tour was very good. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the history of the places we saw as well as the overall history of the region. We upgraded our hotels and they were all wonderful. The only thing I would recommend is telling people how long it takes to make the drive to and from Jordan. We opted to do this tour instead of the one where you fly into Eilat, but if I had known how many hours we would be on the bus, I probably would have made the other choice. Because people came from various hotels in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, it took a long time to pick them up and then make the drive to Jordan, and the same on the way back. Those were very long days and too much time on a bus.
