Dead Sea Tours & Trips
Picture yourself floating in the Dead Sea's salty waters between Jordan and Israel, and you can't sink even if you try your hardest. The salt is so concentrated it lifts you right up, skin soaking minerals the whole time. It’s good for you, and very relaxing. The ancient Masada fortress nearby gives history context, while you float at Earth’s lowest point. Are you ready to go?

We had a fantastic time in Aswan and Luxor and the Nile cruise. Our brilliant guide was Ahmed Elkallaf. His deep knowledge of ancient Egypt and his long experience of tours, as well as his kindness and humor, made the trip extra special and enjoyable. The cruise on the Nile with the Radamis ship was delightful, the staff were so kind and helpful, and the view was incredible. We would like to come back very soon!!

This was a truly unforgettable adventure both in terms of the scale of the adventure and scenery as well as the organization and quality of guiding. The hikes averaged 15km per day with varying elevation, all with the backdrop of some incredible scenery. The hiking can be completed by anyone with a basic level of fitness, but the scenery and local stories are enough to keep hikers of all experienced engaged and entertained. With no forests to block any views, there were always incredible views to behold. Our guide, Motaz, really made the trip with his calm, kind nature and enthusiasm for sharing the history of his land. He never rested as he set about creating a range of wonderful experiences for us to enjoy - in particular the candle setup at our campsite will love long in the memory. The company provided excellent support - particularly when heavy rains closed part of the trail. They swiftly made alternate arrangements for both hiking and accommodation to ensure our group of hikers could still get out on some wonderful trails each and every day. The food was simple, tasty and plentiful and water was never an issue. The camping tents had comfortable mattresses and plenty of blankets to keep us warm in the cold desert nights, as did the permanent tents in the Bedouin campsites we visited (one which included a delicious meal cooked buried under the ground). Besides the hiking, our 4WD tour in Wadi Rum (and the subsequent sunset), as well as a wonderful day relaxing at a Dead Sea resort were absolute highlights. We felt entirely safe and welcome in Jordan for the duration of the trip - not just with our guide and the Bedouin support teams, but with everyone we encountered. This tour is a real adventure which builds to wonderful climaxes in both Petra and Wadi Rum.
