Jordan Tours for Seniors
Ever wondered what Jordan feels like at a slower pace? Jerash still shows its Roman streets and theatres, while the Dead Sea is known for its heavy, salty water. In Petra, the Treasury stands carved into the rock, and desert camps near Wadi Rum host simple evenings. In Amman, local cooking offers a look at daily life.

What people love about Jordan Tours for Seniors
- Premium Jordan
Mo was an excellent tour leader in that he has such passion and enthusiasm about Jordan. I learnt so much about the history and culture and so enjoyed all of the activities. Mo went over and beyond to ensure my dietary needs were met as I have coeliac disease which was much appreciated. Highly recommend this tour.
- Jordan Jewels - 8 Days
We had an incredible tour in July 2023. We had booked a small group tour but ended up with a private tour for our family of 4 since people travel less to Jordan in summer. It was definitely hot but our driver/guide was cognizant of that and always provided water for us as well as minimizing walking in the middle of the day and making sure our van was well cooled. We were picked up from the airport and whisked through security easily. Our vehicle was clean and comfortble - we had a mini van for our family of 4. Our driver, Sayel, was just incredible. He has been doing this job for years and you can tell he is very knowledgeable. He seems to know everyone at every stop, and sometimes was able to help us skip lines. In places where we had a local guide, he helped us find the best guide, and they were all excellent. He also took us to some great food places - my recommendation is to stay away from the touristy buffets and go to local places. We did find the food quite expensive though. Our driver was also able to book us a bunch of extra excursions including a balloon ride in Wadi Rum, which I highly recommend. Hotels on the trip ranged from pretty good to just ok. Some of the hotels clearly haven't remodeled since the 80s, especially our hotel in Petra. Some of the bedding and furnishings were ancient. I want to say that everything in Jordan felt extremely safe, and we were treated very well the entire time. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
We had a terrific time. The standout day was Petra with an 18k walk through the hills exhilerating!! Wadi Rum was spectacular! All rounded off with a float in the Dead Sea.
