Jordan with privets drivers - We spent 2 days exploring Wadi Rum and Petra. I highly recommend it because the live experience is indescribable. Great value was had by our private driver Moawiah , a gentleman at every turn, which allows you to feel comfortable. He recommended good local restaurants and made communication easy. He told us the history of Jordan, everyday life, we spent 2 days with him and it was a time of good conversation and laughter. If someone plans to visit Jordan in comfortable conditions, then only with a driver like ours. I heartily recommend.

It’s a great place in Jordan - Three days in Jordan, the first day, I explored the Amman. The second day, I visit the Petra, it’s really great place, beautiful and safety. The last day , I went to the Dead Sea, it’s really amazing with lowest point in the world with the beautiful landscapes. TAYSEER is my driver, he is a good man and he take me to amazing place with feeling so comfortable and safe.

Must DO While at the Dead Sea - We recently book went on this tour. It’s a private tour, only your party. The driver arrived at the hotel at the Dead Sea on time to meet us in the lobby. The driver, Mohamed Masoud, was friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, great driver, and great person. I highly recommend asking for him. Thanks Mohamed. We proceed onward to Petra. It was a 3 hour drive each way. The van was very modern, with AC, and cold water. Once we arrived at Petra the driver made sure we meet our guide, Asharf, for inside Petra. Make sure you take 3 bottles of water from the driver, trust me you will need it. The guide had the tickets to the site and the restaurant. Asharf was AMAZING, friendly, and knowledgeable. The guided portion was 2.5 hours and we moved at our own pace. I recommend bringing 25 dinar per person for the golf cart express drive down to the Treasury. It will save you 1.5 mile walk in the blazing sun and heat. Once inside we took many breaks throughout for the guide to explain the stone structures. Once we were 3/4 down, we stopped at an covered place for snacks, water, and pomegranate juice. I highly recommend trying the pomegranate juice, it was fresh pressed. Once the tour was over, the guide dropped us off at the Basin Restaurant for lunch. The lunch was buffet style with great AC and WiFi. I highly recommend bringing your own snacks so you have food for yourself. Also, I recommend comfortable walking shoes, backpack, hat, 75 dinar, sunscreen, a UV umberella. The walk back was uphill, I highly recommend getting a donkey ride back to the top, it was 10 dinar per person. The driver meet us back at the drop off location and we rode back to the hotel. Overall, I highly recommend this your. I will be back!!

Amazing day trip to Petra - I had a great time during this tour. The driver was friendly and very accommodating. The car journey was comfortable. The tour guide was great and gave a good and detailed tour. Lunch was great and the driver introduced me to mansaft which is a Jordanian dish that tasted absolutely delicious. I highly recommend anyone wanting to visit Petra to use this service as it did not disappoint.

What a great surprise! - Tayseer had been designated our driver from Amman to the Dead Sea a couple of days before. We had no expectations before we met as it had been booked for us. What we learned about Jordan through Tayseer's eyes and stories in such a short commute made us book for the Dead Sea to Petra tour with him! It has been such a pleasure to learn all the interesting facts from Tayseer in such a passionate way. The provided car was great too! Highly recommended

Loved our time with Tayseer - Tayseer was a wonderful driver and set us up with a great guide Sammy for our tour of the actual site. With Tayseer: We experienced a wonderful yet impromptu road-side breakfast of freshly-baked bread, and got all the dead sea products I could dream of after our visit. Sammy is an excellent photographer with great tips and taught us a lot about Jordanian culture in addition to the historic Petra site

Petra Day Trip - We spent the day in Petra from the Dead Sea, it would not have been as enjoyable if it was not for our driver Tayseer, he was on time at both pick ups and had an very comfortable and interesting trip. His advice to us for our day ahead was invaluble and would highly recommend you request him as your driver!

Petra Tour Rocked - Awesome tour. Moawiah was the best driver guide ever. He rearranged the trip several times to accommodate our last minute changes. Request him

Best driver - Ali Akrabawi was our excellent driver for our day trip to Petra. He was waiting for us in the lobby of our hotel before our 7am pick up. Ali answered our questions on the way and helped us get coffee and snacks on the way. His skill at navigating the winding roads to and from Petra was stellar. I’m definitely glad that he was our driver. I wish we went to the museum at Petra for more official information about the archeological site. Be prepared for the incessant selling of rides. Be firm if you’re not interested. I wouldn’t recommend going to the restaurant outside of the site. I ended up getting sick. Even if you have to say goodbye to your guide and rest, I would try to go to the restaurant onsite. Hopefully, it’s much better.
