Dad travelling with a Child of 8yo - Unforgettable experience in the Desert! All the staff of Jordan Echo Tour is very kind and helpful. I was very warm welcomed by the staff. I'm a dad travelling with his son of 8yo. This experience was excellent for children and suitable because this is not a too long day. Khaleed pick up us at the right time at the right place to drive us to wadi rum. Then Ali drove a pick up to show us the desert. We spent rich and funny time with Ali and Khaleed. We also experienced snowboarding in the sand. We learn at lot of things about the desert life and traditions The desert is so spectacular ! Thanks a lot to Nesrim (agency) , khaleed(driver) and Ali (4x4 driver)

A very reliable agency - This agency located not far from the Hotel Mövenpick is very serious. We were welcomed by Rawan. We wanted to take a half day tour to Wadi Rum. She offered us a plan A and a plan B with a few different sites. We opted for Plan B and paid a deposit by giving the balance the next day to the driver. We obtained a proper receipt. The driver arrived at our hotel on time. We drove about an hour to the visitors center. There was waiting for us our guide Yazid, very pleasant and at our disposal. We could get in the back of the Jeep and take pictures. We stopped in several places to take beautiful photos, the light in the late afternoon is beautiful. At one point you could drink tea at the Bedouin. There was a shop available but no pressure and no insistence on tourists. In some places in Wadi Rum it really looks like Mars. The excursion ends at a convenient place to watch the sunset. Then the Jeep takes us back to our driver who took us back to Aqaba. A truly magical experience. We paid 70 JOD per person, about 100 euros, all inclusive.

Impressive day tour - In preparation for our cruise, we booked the tour in advance via the Internet. We were pleasantly and competently advised by Jordan Echo Tours at this stage. The guide picked us up ( 2 friendly couples) in the port of Aqaba directly at the ship. At Wadi Rum we got into a pickup truck with benches and a tent roof. During the 2-hour period. We were able to repeatedly ask the driver to the photo top by knocking, a fantastic experience. Afterwards, a city tour through Aqaba followed. Payment possible after the tour in € or $

Best Guide, Best Tour, Sunset Tour - Driver picked us up on time, the hand over to the guide was easy. Hopped into the back of the pick-up truck with benches. Off into the desert we went! Guide was knowledgable, spoke great English, took great photos for us, and picked a great spot to watch the sunset. He showed his love for Wadi Rum, history, and Jordon.

Excellent customer service and experience - We had a brilliant trip into the Wadi Rum to see the sites including the sunset. Everything was organised for us so we didn't have to worry about anything and at a reasonable price. The driver was timely and professional and gave us a history of the Wadi Rum on the way. Highly recommend using this group.

Desert glory - Memorial experience, guide a native of the desert . Exceptional knowledge. The only negative my wife over 50 had a terrible time getting in and off vehicle, A stool or small ladder or even sep down would have been better. You need to address your senior customers limitations. there are many more of us traveling. Heads up she could have injured herself. Other then that I would recommend this amazing adventure to all.

Great place and very good service - We had a tour in Wadi Rum desert during our stay in Aqaba, It as been a great experience, my sons enjoyed it a lot. The desert is outstanding with his colors and Mars landscape. The drive was a litte late at pick up while the guide at the desert was good and nice. For sure a place were to go.

You should stay overnight in Wadi Rum - Definitely. We’re glad that we went at all—it was a last minute decision. Their office was located very near our hotel which was convenient. They answered our questions (we had a gazillion) and personalized the tour. Our one regret is that we didn’t stay overnight. (Stay overnight in Wadi Rum. I’m not the boss of you or anything but, truly. The sunset against the backdrop of the other-worldly landscape would be worth it.) We opted for a two-hour trip (instead of the six because of time constraints—we had a bus to catch) we would have liked to see more. Some of the anecdotal pieces of information shared by our guide were interesting but repetitive and I just wanted to run around in the sand and take pictures of a caravan of camels silhouetted against the sky. I received no less than three marriage proposals in Wadi Rum. They offered my husband his own caravan of camels (in varying quantities) for my delightfulness. Just thought I’d bring that up—for no particular reason other than it’s likely going to be part of your Wadi Rum experience as well. Lol. I still vote that you stay overnight. There are numerous options for all price ranges and they happily sync what you’d like to happen with what they have to offer. Definitely recommend going through them.
