PRE & POST
Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.

The placement of the hotel in Wadi Musa could not have been better.
R.H., Geneva
Both guides were a delight to travel with. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly appreciated.R.H., Geneva
Thank you greatly for another trip-of-a-lifetime: Challenging but extraordinary. Very life-enhancing indeed. Also a highly interesting group of participants.M.S., Ontario
Good in all three hotels – the best in location and service/comfort. Well organised – not too many re-packings.R.P., Greece
Very good varied itinerary, well planned. We saw many different aspects of Jordanian history and culture. We spent plenty of time in Petra to take in the complexity and detail of the sites.R. & E.H., Middlesex
