Important notes
Jordan is a safe, welcoming destination. Dress modestly at religious and cultural sites (shoulders and knees covered). Carry cash (JOD) for small purchases and gratuities. Every tour group entering Jordan at the Arava / Wadi Araba (Eilat–Aqaba) border must be accompanied by a licensed Jordanian guide. If you are arriving at this border, we add a guiding fee of USD 175 per tour day for your whole group (not per person). Example: a 2-day tour adds USD 350.

- Comfortable walking shoes
- Sun hat, sunglasses & sunscreen

Frequently asked questions
What is a custom Jordan journey?
It is a fully tailor-made private itinerary built around your dates, interests, pace and group size, designed directly with a local Jordanian specialist.
How do I plan my custom tour?
You share your travel dates, group size and interests using the inquiry form, then a local specialist builds a day-by-day private itinerary for you to refine.
Is this a private tour?
Yes, every custom journey is private with private transport, an English-speaking driver and licensed guides.
What is included?
Private air-conditioned transport, an English-speaking driver and licensed guides, hand-picked accommodation and personalized itinerary planning.
How long is the tour?
The length is entirely your choice — the tour is tailor-made to your preferred number of days.
What is the Jordan Pass, and is it required?
The Jordan Pass is an official package from the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities that bundles a tourist-visa fee waiver with entrance tickets to around 40 of Jordan’s leading sites. It is entirely optional — you do not need it to travel with us, and you are welcome to pay each entrance fee individually at the gate instead. You buy it online before you arrive, show it at each site entrance, and it also waives the tourist visa fee when you stay at least three nights in Jordan.
When is the Jordan Pass worthwhile, and what entrance fees does it cover?
The Pass covers entrance to Petra (one, two or three days depending on the tier), Jerash, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea resorts, Mount Nebo, Madaba, Kerak, Ajloun, Bethany Beyond the Jordan and many more sites. For most travelers it pays for itself with a single Petra visit plus the visa waiver, so any additional site is effectively free — making it the best value if you are visiting Petra and at least one other major site, or staying two or more nights. If your tour already includes entrance fees (check “What’s included”), you may not need the Pass at all. We are happy to recommend the right tier for your itinerary — just ask.
