“Trekking in Jordan was an unforgettable experience – one of the wildest and most beautiful landscapes we have ever seen. In a nutshell, here are some of our highlights: spending the New Year's Eve at Feynan Eco-Lodge (really a lovely place!!!) and 2 nights in a wilderness camp (with the best local food ever, beautiful sunsets and campfire romanticism, visiting the ancient city of Petra and a private BBQ in Amman. We were very impressed by the beauty and culture of the country.” — Traveler from TripAdvisor, January 2019
“Camped at a site overnight, and the entire experience was wonderful. We ate food cooked in an authentic Bedouin-style, which was great, and watched the stars as the night grew on us. We saw plenty of shooting stars, and it was very peaceful. The next day, we took a 2-hour jeep tour, which was great, getting to see many of the attractions in a portion of the huge park..” — Saagar M., July 2019
