“Bellissimo giro nel deserto con molto treaking, anche un po' impegnativo scalando le alture del deserto. Ottimo Omar, che ha fatto sia la guida che l'autista e da cuoco (bel picnic su una altura del deserto). E non fa niente se la gip, che abbiamo utilizzato, era proprio molto vecchia. Anche se era inverno, è stata una bella giornata e calda sino al tramonto.”

7.Red Sea Snorkeling Boat Trip with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 44 reviews · 4 hours · from $88

Join Aqaba Sharks Bay Divers for a four-hour Red Sea boat trip from Ayla Marina. You’ll visit two snorkeling sites, look for turtles and colorful fish, view a wreck in 6 meters of water, and eat a Jordanian buffet lunch onboard.

“This was scheduled as a snorkel trip, however it was clearly primarily a dive trip with snorkellers aboard. This made it a poor choice as the two drive sites were over fairly deep water about 20 meters and not suitable for snorkelling but good for diving. The second of the two dive sites was closer to the shore but the wind on our day made it difficult to get to the shore where the snorkelling was unless you were strong swimmers. Really unsure about safety as we seemed unsupervised for most of the time and a couple struggled. On the plus side the boat was good as well as the…”

14.10 Hour Jeep Tour Pass, Camel, Sandbording & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · from $59

Spend 9 to 12 hours in UNESCO-listed Wadi Rum with a Bedouin driver-guide, open-air jeep rides, a short camel trip, sandboarding, lunch, tea and sunset views. Ahmed has guided some departures, but drivers may vary. Pickup is available inside the protected area.

“This experience was truly amazing and our driver Ahmed was fun. However, when you book this tour, be aware that you’re gonna do a lot of hiking. It’s not really a tour – the driver brings you to different locations in the desert but leaves you to explore by yourself, which can be either great or unpleasant, depending on what type of traveller you are. The tour itself is a bit overpriced, given your guide really just drives you to places and doesn’t do much else (and the lunch is very minimal), but the experience is still wonderful mostly because of all the sights you get to indulge in. I…”
