“The Jordan side of the trip was excellent! Our guide Nezar was also top notch. And all of the accommodations exceeded my expectations. I went with my boyfriend and two other friends (so four of us). We also made some friends in the group over the 3 days. Details: starting out on the Israel side, you do not really have a guide, which is ok. We had a bus driver that spoke mainly Russian and used google translate. But once you reach the border, there are people there (in our case some British people) to help you cross into Jordan by foot to meet your guide and get onto your…”
