Driver - Ehab Abusaif was our driver from Amman to the Baptism Site and then to the Dead Sea. He was a fantastic driver—friendly, conversational, and great at pointing out things you might otherwise miss. He also gave us helpful heads-ups along the way and made sure we didn’t overpay for anything. We definitely recommend him! The company (Retaj) is also wonderful to work with and will put together customized tours if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for.

Dead Sea and Baptism Site tour - Absolutely fantastic! One of the best excursions. Amer was incredibly nice and respectful and paced the trip very well. Numerous sites were visited in the region, and floating in the Dead Sea was an amazing experience! This tour is highly recommended.

Brief but enjoyable trip with Youcef - I was given this tour by Youcef. It was brief but very enjoyable. We visited Bethany and then he took me to a pre-arranged visit and lunch at a hotel on the Dead Sea. He provided a lot of information during the trip and he speaks English well. He also provided instructions on what to do on the beach. I highly recommend using Youcef for any of your tours in Jordan.
