Explore Jordan and Sleep in a Martian Dome

Amazing trip! Hiking, culture, good food and time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Everyday brought WOW moments and the hike to Petra via the back door is a must and manageable even in the heat. Mutaz our guide was very patient, he walked with me in Petra and I got to meet and spend time with the local Bedouin Um Lafi and Abu Rashed, definitely a highlight of the trip! Loved Wadi Rum and the stargazing but just needed more time in the Martian Dome. The last day is long but lots to see along the way. Arrive a day early, I enjoyed spending time in Madaba but return on a later flight because I missed out on seeing Amman. Get booked onto this trip, it is a must. Jordan is a wonderful country !

Really an amazing trip, Mutaz our guide gave us great visibility and advices on places to go through the whole trip, very welcoming, he made this experience even more amazing thanks for everything. Itinerary is really well made to have a very good blend of everything. Hikes are very accessible and fun for all. Back door of Petra is definitely the way to go, special thanks to the local guide who was great and very insightful for this more culture part of the trip. Wadi Rum is an highlight of the trip, don’t miss the sunset and if you are brave the sunrise is well worth it as well, I wish I could have stayed longer. Limited time to visit Amman on the last day, if you want to go see the Acropolis plan for a plane in the evening or come a day early.

I am telling everyone I know to do this trip, words can't describe how epic it was! The balance of the itinerary was just right. I can't imagine doing Petra the "normal" way round, 800 steps are definitely easier on the way down! But the long hike of this day was nicely balanced out with shorter hikes in Dana and jeep tours in Wadi Rum. There was also plenty of free time and the food was amazing and plentiful. Special highlights were our two amazing Bedouin guides who showed us so many incredible things while also being the best photographers we could ask for! But the best part of the trip was our guide, Ahlam. It absolutely wouldn't have been the same without her, she looked after us all wonderfully and was absolutely a key part of the group.

What a way to spend five nights. This adventure was brilliant from start to end. The scenery is absolutely stunning and the hikes were so much fun - being immersed in such fantastic landscapes - some seemingly unearthly at times! The history at Petra is absorbing and the colours of the rocks an added bonus for the senses. Wadi Rum was thrilling - racing up and down sand dunes gets the adrenaline pumping for sure! We had such a fantastic group of people who made this trip such fun - we all laughed from beginning to end. The food was plentiful and delicious throughout - having a picnic cooked by our lovely bedouin guide in the middle of the desert was a particular highlight. Our amazing guide Ahlam was so knowledgeable and fun and an all round wonderful person to be leading our time in Jordan. This trip is definitely worth it.

Book this trip! It exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the whole group had an amazing time and I would highly recommend to others.

Our guide, Alham, was nothing short of exceptional. Not only was she faultless in her guidance, but her extensive knowledge of Jordan's history, culture, and hidden gems made every moment enriching. Alham's fun personality and genuine passion for her country enhanced the experience, making her an all-around great person to explore with. The best guide!

The accommodations throughout the trip were great, but one standout was the Martian dome, where the setting was breathtaking. It provided a unique and unforgettable experience that added an extra layer of magic to the trip.

The trip had the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation. We had plenty time to see all the must-visit sites while still having enough downtime to soak in the beauty of our surroundings and recharge. Highlights included the ‘back door to Petra trail’ which meant we saw a more authentic Petra rather than just the touristic areas, the Wadi rum desert jeep ride was so so fun, Wadi rum is breathtaking, it takes my number 1 spot for Jordan! The mud in the Dead Sea was great, as was the Dana nature reserve.

The food was excellent, there was plenty of it and lots of options for vegetarians, from the local restaurants to meals prepared at our accommodations, all of it was delicious. Special mention goes to the Bedouin cooked food in the desert, a great dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Jordan.

If you're looking for a trip filled with adventure, culture, and delicious food, look no further – this trip has it all. Highly, highly recommend!

Jordan is an incredible place to visit. And doing a trip with Much Better Adventures makes sure you see as much as possible in a short space of time. Our guide Ahlam was so lovely. And the trip was really well organised. Accomodation and food was all great. The highlight for me was Wadi Rum and staying in the Martian Dome. I’ve never seen a landscape like it, feels like you are on another planet. Our group all got on really well. We felt completely safe whilst we were there. Please don’t be put off by current events. The people are so welcoming and really need tourists to keep visiting and supporting them.

Jordan is an amazing and beautiful country, beautiful scenery and people - go see it!

I really enjoyed this trip - lots packed into a short period of time and a fair bit of variety. Could have done with a bit more physical challenge on the desert walk but I enjoyed it and we had a great group

Great trip, so much was fitted into the itinerary but it didn’t feel rushed. Accommodation and food were also excellent and guides were all knowledgeable.

Interesting trip but needs a high level of fitness

This trip was amazing from start to finish. Our guide Wafa was fabulous and really helpful with everything the whole time. Even with the conflict starting in Israel just before the trip started I felt safe the whole trip and the MBA team reached out before the trip to assure us that everything would run as normal. Every day is packed with things to see and do, I was shocked at how much we fit into the 4 main days (days 1 and 6 are travel days with no organised activities). On day 1 I travelled independently to Madaba from Amman as I flew in a few days before and the hotel was able to arrange a taxi to take me to Mount Nebo and back. I would recommend doing this if you have the time and are interested as the tour drives past the site on day 2 but does not stop. I would say that the trip is an easy difficulty if you are a fit and active person. If you have any mobility issues then you might find some of the hiking more challenging. The accommodation and food are excellent throughout, as a vegetarian I was catered for really well and everything was delicious. Most of the food provided is traditional Arabic food so I would pack some snacks in case I didn’t fancy hummus for breakfast! Transport around Jordan was super easy with the same minibus and driver with us for the whole trip. The bus even had Wi-Fi which was a great bonus. Overall if you are interested in this trip I wouldn’t hesitate to book, it was an amazing adventure.

This was a great trip which packed in so many highlights in a short space of time. Wadi Rum and the Martian domes were a particular highlight - it was great to get out in the desert and escape the crowds and this was by far the best accommodation - it is an absolutely unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to have Wafa as our tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to be around.

A couple of small caveats: if you are looking for an active trip I would suggest booking something with more hiking as this was definitely light on the activity front and the hikes were pretty light and easy going, and in all cases shorter than billed. The trip is also quite rushed - there is virtually no free time so I would recommend tagging on a day or two at the end to relax in Amman. Finally, bring snacks! There are hardly anywhere to buy a snack and often long gaps between meals, so if you have a tendency to get hungry, come prepared!

Absolutely incredible trip, don’t hesitate to book. The experiences were once in a lifetime, our guide was amazing and the group were all wonderful. Personal highlight was Wadi Rum but you fit so much into the tour that there is something for everyone.

MBA has put together an amazing trip to see all the best of Jordan. The Martian Dome is completely worth it. Jordan surpassed all of my expectations!

A truly fantastic trip that you will never forget!

Incredible trip - loved every moment! Jordan is a beautiful country, which I would recommend to everyone to go and explore. The itinerary for this trip is very exciting and we felt really well looked after :)

A once in a lifetime experience. If I had done Jordan alone, I wouldn't have known anywhere near as much about the country and would have missed so many sights. Exploring Wadi Rum was surreal. Doing Petra via the reverse route is something I now tell everyone to do, if they go. The tour guides were such lovely, insightful people and deserve every bit of praise for their hard work. I've recommended this trip to many since.

We had a great trip with Islam,our tour guide. He was so helpful and friendly - there was no wish that was left unfulfilled! The tour was packed but in a good way with a little break always in the afternoon. Perfect balance of hiking/sightseeing! The bubble hotel was great, the other ones not much. For the price I would have expected something a bit more classy. All in all would book again!

My third trip with MBA and once again - absolutely amazing. An incredible experience. We had the perfect weather (hot, but not so we wilted) which made for stunning trekking and a fabulous boat trip on the Red Sea. And we had the perfect guide - Mutaz Jarrar who was so knowledgeable, kind, supportive and made the trip run so smoothly including organising extra activities. Food (I'm vegan), accommodation, and all the trips were fantastic. It was a full and exciting itinerary and no stress because it was all organised for us. I'm the wrong side of 50 and I managed it all no problem. I got to see and do so much, and being part of a group made it much more enjoyable too. If you enjoy stunning scenery and being outdoors then this holiday is a must

Unforgettable trip in Jordan. Islam has been the kindest, friendliest guide ever, who couldn't do enough for us. Amazing sights, all very well organised, packed so much activities in a few days, I feel like I have been away longer than 5 days. Special mention to Ahmed in Dana for his amazing outdoor cooking skills, and eye for a great photo spot!

There is nothing to say other than amazing!! Mutaz was an amazing guide he was so helpful and he truly went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. Anyone thinking of doing this trip just book it you won’t forget it.

Fantastic trip, surpassed my expectations in every way! Stunning scenery, delicious food, very smooth planning and so many once in a life time experiences! This was my first time travelling alone, and the MBA group was super friendly and got along really well. I would really recommend our guide Mutaz Jarrar, he was extremely knowledgeable and made sure every was comfortable at all times! Looking forward to joining another trip :-)

Trip of a lifetime, very well organised, fitted so much in just 5 days, without feeling rushed. Great selection of sites. Petra and Wadi Rum were amazing, and the night in the Martian domes a great experience.

Food was amazing throughout, camp meals were fun and an experience in themselves. Mutaz Jarrar, our guide, was knowledgeable, efficient, enthusiastic and caring. Although we were a much older couple, without hiking experience, Mutaz supported and encouraged us to complete all the treks, which we didn’t think we would manage. He did this while also ensuring all the others in the group had a great time and didn’t feel they were being held back. Thank you Mutaz for making this a dream holiday. Highly recommend this trip and company.

A truly breathtaking trip. Don't think, just book!

Our itinerary was jam-packed full of incredible experiences such as hiking the backdoor to Petra (which resulted in far fewer tourists and was much more rewarding), snorkelling in the Red Sea, floating in the Dead Sea & having a mud bath, a full day of exploring Wadi Rum including hikes, traditional meals in the desert, a sunset camel ride, as well as hiking in the beautiful Dana reserve.

On top of all that, the accommodation throughout was among the best I've ever stayed in - there's nothing quite like waking up at sunrise in a martian dome with the curtains wide open. Guesthouse in Dana was incredible too.

Mutaz Jarrar, our guide, absolutely made our trip. A knowledgable, kind-hearted, patient, hilarious bloke who treated our entire group like family throughout. The trip would not have been the same without him - nothing was ever too much of an ask, from arranging extra transport/activities for us outside of the itinerary to ensuring we never went hungry or thirsty by providing snacks every day. A pleasure to spend a week with him!

I would recommend you arrive 1-2 days early to enjoy more of what Jordan has to offer - including exploring Amman, Madaba and Jerash. It's a wonderful country.

A genuinely amazing holiday! Whistlestop tour of the highlights - all so varied and impossible to compare one day to another. Our guide Islam was absolutely brilliant, and I have been raving about Jordan to everyone who will listen since my return!

Itinerary completely lived up to expectations, with a few added bonuses along the way! Our guide, Islam, went the extra mile in making our experience amazing and did a wonderful job of sharing his beautiful country with us. We were lucky to share the adventure with a fabulous group of people and loved every minute of it. Just book it!

Which part of this trip do I praise first? Islam, our fantastic guide, had such patience, kindness and generosity of spirit that we were free to indulge our endless curiosity and enthusiasm. The site specific guides were equally excellent.

The group itself was a pleasure to be with, a great mix of positive energy, willingness to meet new people, interesting stories and a general 'let's do it' attitude.

The itinerary was superb; we saw and did so much in a very short period of time. For me, however, the true magic of this trip (and it was magical) was in the detail. I hesitate to give too much away, as the surprise is a good part of the fun, but the unexpected cooking class, the freshness of the food (is that what a mango really tastes like?), the beauty of a camel in a sunset, a sunken plane, and most of all, the ability to just be in an awe-inspiring landscape, to stand quietly and take it in. This was a very special trip indeed. I will be basking in its glow for a long time to come. Thank you.

A1trip. A1guide. A1 food. A1 pace and planning. Highly, highly recommended

Incredible trip. Every day exceeded our expectations more than the last, which is no small feat. Islam and the local guides were all fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about this trip - just book it!

I loved this trip to Jordan. If you are considering booking then do it!!

Beautiful varied landscapes and activities - from hiking in Dana Bio reserve and into Petra, to floating in the Dead Sea and snorkelling off a boat. Highlight for me was camping and stargazing in Wadi Rum desert - the scenery is truly breath taking.

Lovely and plentiful food, great group dynamics and our guide Ahlam was a lot of fun.
