The drive was beautiful, and our bus driver had skills! Our guide was fantastic and so informative. His passion for Petra was very clear and he was so friendly and kind. We enjoyed his company, and Petra was beautiful; even the walk to see the tombs was stunning. The camp was nice, and the food was good. I definitely recommend this trip!”
