This was an amazing trip and worth every penny! Everything was very well organized and we saw so much within such a short time. Abraham tors sent a PDF document ahead of time, so you knew what to expect at the border crossing, and everything was very clear once we got a cross into Jordan as well. Our tour guide, Madhi, was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable, open, and answered all of our questions…just an all around great guy and great guide! He also kept us moving at a pace that he knew would be ahead of the larger groups, so that saved us a lot of time. Group size was about 20. 10/10 recommend…if I had to to it again, I wouldn’t go through anyone else

Fabulous trip, very well organised! Border went very well. Everything explained. Don’t change money there as bad exchange rate, tour guide took money later in the day for Jordanian border visa. Lots of opportunities to change money on trip. If you get Madhi as tour guide you are in for a treat!! He made the trip for us. Bedouin camp was great, basic but comfortable. Petra was amazing, got the monastery & the caves & the scenery foto of the Treasury on the cliff done. Madhi explains so well about the time& helps you choose what you want to do. They take dollars& euros as well as Jordanian dollars of course in Petra. Food through out trip was plentiful & fine. Do this tour, you will not be disappointed, I recommend it 120 out of 100!!

Excellent site, great guide and accommodation at the Bedouin Camp. But absolutely disastrous transfer from the border back to Tel Aviv. After touring the whole day, 6 hours on the bus, two hours crossing the border, the van driver didn’t even bother to identify himself to us. We were standing on the curb, making the calls to Abraham with no answers. And when, by luck, we found the van, we were sitting there for over an hour, tired, dirty, and hungry. No one told us anything, so we asked the driver. He angrily explain that we were missing two people from another tour that was running late! A better solution was to send us home and find another way to bring those two. A complete failure, in my opinion!
