The traveler David is 73 and his wife is 64, very healthy but David has limitations imposed by suffering from Parkinson's which means maybe there will be difficulties with long-distance hiking, it depends on the daily condition of David. If there are longer hikes is there some options for the traveler?

As there is camping planned on this tour on Day 12. The traveler cannot sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor. He needs a mattress elevated at least 50cm/ 60cm to get in and out of bed easily. Is that possible to arrange for the traveler?

This tour was fantastic and could only be improved by a visit to Aqaba with snorkeling in the Red Sea.

I have never gone on a group tour before this and I will never go on one again. I was expecting that on a National Geographic tour — the only company I would ever even consider — there was some expectation of education, prior travel, some level of ability to navigate the world beyond one’s hometown, some semblance of being cultured or curious — but clearly, there was not. My guide in Israel was fabulous and we did get to see so much — even I have to admit, this would have been a challenge to pull off on one’s own, cobbling together day trips from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv or Amman — so I am deeply grateful for what I was able to learn on this trip, but I was expecting people more like myself who are well-travelled, intelligent, and independent. I was expecting companions who at least had looked at a damn map.Show more

Both guides were very good. I don’t remember their names. One we called Naz and the other Suhair. We arrived in Tel Aviv on a Saturday which is their Sabash and were picked up and taken to Jerusalem where we arrived around noon. Could not get into our room till 8.30 after a 15 hour flight. We were very tired and I think it would have been better if arrangements had been made for us to stay in Tel Aviv for that night and then transferred to Jerusalem the next morning. Other than that, I enjoyed it all. I got sick with food poisoning on the last day in Tel Aviv just after we crossed over to Jordan but they took very good care of me in Amman at the hotel. This trip is not a holiday but an adventure and you have to be in good health to endure it all.Show more

  Can you please give the traveler more information about the additional excursion they can book for this tour?
- National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2023
  Generally these would be arranged locally depending on the day and location, but if a traveller opts out of an activity there will usually be an alternative for them, or somewhere to wait for the group if it is a relatively short activity.
- National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2023
  We can make requests such as this, but they are not guaranteed. Having said that, the itinerary doesn't mention sleeping bags so it may not be camping in the traditional sense, We can certainly reach out to our team and check this once the spaces are held.
- National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2023
  The hotels are set as per the itinerary, they are generally guaranteed in advance as they are open to change but as a rule they will all be 4* or above, unless it is a particularly remote location.
- National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2023
  The only optional extras that can be added locally are; Petra - Petra by Night (17JOD per person), Turkish Bath (20JOD per person). Everything else is included in the cost of the itinerary.

  I am concerned that my disability will be or become a real problem. This is described as a fast paced tour with little free time. I belive that this then is not for me. I need a slower pace and do not want to delay the group, that would certainly be unwelcome.
