This trip ranks among the best. It was really cool to see things that were 5,000 years old and to try to imagine what life was like. It is also amazing how well preserved many of the temples, monuments, tombs, etc. are. We found the people very nice and welcoming. They certainly want more tourists to visit and feel safe.
The highlights for me were
Egypt – Abu Simbel, Nefetari’s Tomb, and the balloon ride
Jordan – Of course Petra and I really enjoyed Wadi Rum.
We were very luck with our tour guides, they were all great. Logistically the private tour worked well for us and we would certainly recommend the tour companies, Memphis Tours and Jordan Private Tours.
All in all a really great and memorable trip. I highly recommend it!
