Responsible travel

We Care About Our Planet

Jordan has been tremendously generous to us — its desert, its ancient cities and its people. We are committed to protecting it, and to making sure your trip gives back to the places and families that host you.

Our pillars

How we travel lightly and locally

Every private tour we run follows three simple pillars. They are not a badge — they are how we have always worked as a local Jordanian company.

Environment

  • We cut single-use plastic: our vehicles carry water for refilling your reusable bottle, so you do not need to keep buying plastic bottles.
  • We follow “leave no trace” at Petra, Wadi Rum and every site: nothing left behind, nothing taken, no carving or climbing on monuments.
  • Small private groups mean less pressure on fragile trails and desert landscapes.

People & Community

  • Your guides and drivers are local, licensed Jordanians who live here and know these places from the inside.
  • We take you to family-run restaurants, Bedouin camps and local craft makers, so your money stays in local communities.
  • We brief guests on local customs and modest dress, so visits are respectful for everyone.

Prosperity

  • Fair, direct work for local guides, drivers and hosts — no faceless middlemen.
  • Supporting local artisans and producers when you shop for souvenirs and food.
  • Recommending the official Jordan Pass and site tickets, which support the upkeep of Jordan’s heritage sites.

Travel with us, travel better

Simple things you can do on your trip

  • Bring a reusable water bottle — we will keep it filled.
  • Stay on marked paths and never touch or climb carved facades.
  • Buy from local makers and eat where local families eat.
  • Dress modestly in villages and holy sites, and ask before taking photos of people.
  • Take all rubbish with you in the desert.
