It’s a very good excursion and experience is great! The only thing that’s not acceptable is I didn’t get a refund after I modified my ticket from 4 travelers to 3 travelers with no explanation given. Modification was done within 48 hours before the excursion which is within the policy.

Mahmoud, my driver, was a fantastic, safe driver. He was interesting and easy to talk to. He is s great guide. I booked from the NCL Jade and he came early and got me back to the ship with an hour to spare.
Basil, my guide, in Petra was educated in Nabatean culture and could read the language. He was very knowledgeable. I wish he helped more with the other Bedouins harassing us and I was unaware that when we got into the city, he would just leave me there solo to return on my own.
The old Bedouin who drove me around Wadi Rum was nice and interesting. It is difficult to get in and out of the back of the truck and he will not touch a woman. I understand; he did say I could sit inside but it ruins the experience. Because I had three guys to tip, I didn’t know, it was hard to keep it even. Please give us a heads up on the trip.
Mahmoud really saved me though— he kept me safe and, if I needed to eat or whatever, was always willing to stop etc.

February might not be the best month as we saw ice and snow on our drive, but we were well looked after by Mason. Had a fab day in both Petra and Wadi Rum. Walking shoes needed for Petra and tip take the golf buggy back up. Wadi rum you are on the back of a jeep so wear a coat as it does get cold. But what an adventure we were collected at 8am and came home 7pm nothing too much trouble
