Hi Erez, The trip to Jordan was simply "fabulous."  I can't thank you enough. It was perfect all the way!! My husband and brother enjoyed Wadi Rum.  We met them the next day for the trip to Petra.  Abdel and his driver Yusef were just so wonderful. I have attached pictures we took with them and the kids.  Everything went so smoothly every step of the way from the border crossing, to the driving, pick-up, lunch, touring...My 11 year old was sick on the car ride and they were so caring for her. Thankfully, she was fine by the time we arrived in Petra.  All the little things Abdel and Yusef did were so thoughtful.  We are used to the cold weather, being from Chicago so it was fine.  So, again, thanks so much. I even posted a note about you on www.TripAdvisor.com . Look for the forum on Petra. All the very best,  Susan, 2.5 days Jordan (USA)  Our trip to Jordan was fantastic.  We were able to connect with Tomer when we knew our flight from Eilat was delayed and he assured us that Gil would meet us and figure out the best plan.  It seems like the snow in Petra sent everything into a tail spin.  In case we were unable to follow our original course of going directly to Petra, Gil called ahead to the camp in Wadi Rum.  Our guide Ali was such a pro and through his experience he navigated the roads and our trip with utmost expertise.  While others were stuck on the roads we changed our plans around to go to Wadi Rum once we agreed that would be best.  And even though we unexpectedly stayed in the camp on a freezing cold overnight under many many blankets, the setting was a highlight.  To wake up to the beautiful crisp sunrise over the tents in that landscape was quite memorable.  And the tour through the vast Wadi Rum was great including the extensive meal that Ali so artfully prepared for our family in the serene setting of the desert.  Ali's timing continued to be impeccable.  He was alerted to closed roads and we arrived at the expansive view of the valley at sunset seeing all the way to Israel.  With the ice and snow he moved carefully till we arrived in the Petra.  We bid Ali farewell after becoming quite attached to him.  Our only disappointment was not having more time in Petra the next morning.  However, lots of people had been stranded the day before and we felt lucky that our schedule worked out as well as it did.  We made the most of our time in Petra touring on our own since no guide was available because of the snow.  By the time we went off to the airport, the roads were better and we arrived without a hitch.  And of course Gil was on the other side to greet us and take us to our flight in Eilat.  We wanted to get to Petra earlier in the morning but we understood that the snow definitely presented problems beyond everyone's control.  It was quite an adventure that our family will always remember fondly, and we got to see Petra in the snow!  Thanks for a great time. Jeany Wolf, 3 days Jordan For other tour's option in Jordan Thank you so much for organising our really wonderful trip to Israel. We had the very best time of our lives and will definitely be coming back. Our guides were great. We had Ali in Petra and he was very good and knew all about the history and the Bedouin people. In Wadi Rum we were driven and guided by Salla who was good company and also knew about the Wadi. The best of all had to be Josef (Joza) who took us around the Negev. He was so knowledgeable about the geology, the archeology, the plant life, the people and best of all the Torah and the stories of Biblical times in Israel. At first, we thought Petra was the experience of a lifetime and then we went to Wadi Rum and thought that was so beautiful. We thought nothing could beat that but then when we went to the Negev, we really lost our hearts to that wild and wonderful place. One day, we will come and build our own house at Shacharut and never leave again! Our stay in Ein Gedi was great - thank you for that too. My daughter and her friend were so tired from their experiences on their kfar trip and Judy and I were so full with our experiences that we all had a good rest and covered ourselves in mud and soaked in the sulphur waters and mineral springs. You were right, it was lovely there. We met Tomer when we came to the office to collect our bags and it was such a pleasure to speak to him. I am so sorry we did not get a chance to meet you and thank you in person but next time we will see you. We have told everyone about our trip and hope that some of them will use Desert Eco tours when they come to Israel. Next time we would love to go to the Sinai but really we could do the whole trip we have just done again and again. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a feast of visual, emotional and spiritual delights. Best wishes, Jane      Jane Klein, 2.5 days Jordan + 2 days Eilat Mts. Dear Erez,I just want to let you know that the trip to Petra was really excellent.  Everything went very smoothly.  Tomer did a great job at the border both coming and going.  We appreciate that very much.  Sami was really a lovely guide and he was most accommodating, stopping everywhere we wanted to and showing us the wonderful Wadi Rum.  His choice of the Bedouin family for lunch was terrific.  They were warm, welcoming, and very interesting to be with.  Very nice, simple people who were willing to open up to us about their way of life.  I especially loved the way the wife cooked the bread for lunch, and Sami did very well too.  It was an exceptionally rewarding experience.  I will try to send some photos back to you for the family.  We like the  Taybet Zaman very much.  The room had a gorgeous view, thanks to you, I'm sure. The driver came exactly on time the next morning, very early, at our request, to take us to Petra, and we picked up Ahmed along the way.  Ahmed was truly a superior guide who gave us a lot of time, energy and great explanations of Petra.  He was wonderful to take us up and over the temple hills and through the sites.  We very much appreciated his professionalism and his willingness to cover so much territory with us.  He, like Sami, was a very giving person.  They just couldn't do enough for us.  It made the experience very memorable. We are very grateful for your close communication during the planning process, always responding to questions promptly.  Without a question, we highly recommend Desert Eco-Tours to other people.  Barbara Paul, 2 days Jordan   We had a great adventure exploring Jordan's Petra and the Wadi Rum. The rock carvings and caves through Petra are amazing and the landscape of the desert is never-ending. The bedoium people are so fasinating.  Our guide who took us through the Wadi Rum was particularly very informative and I enjoyed hearing about the Jordanian history and lifestyle (I would recomend him to anyone).  The Jordanian people were very friendly and courteous.  My highlight would be drinking Turkish tea in the Jordan desert under the shade of a rock watching the wandering camels and having a bbq. Selena- 2.5 days Jordan tour (New Zeland) Erez, It was great - Thanks for the organization. Everything worked like a charm. From the pickup, through the border formalities and to our driver for the 2 days. Ali Henahat was faultless. Apart from being a mine of information about Wadi Rum, he had to put up with two days of questions from us about life in Jordan in general. Ali helped make this 2 day tour even more special for us - he was brilliant! Finally, the Bedouin camp exceeded our expectations (I must admit to worrying a little about what constituted a "Bedouin breakfast") - it was yet another facet of an excellent experience. I suppose the acid test is "Would we recommend you services to our friends"?..... You bet we would. Well done to the whole team Phil Grainger- 2.5 days tour in Jordan (U.S.A) Erez, our trip to Jordan was super. We enjoyed everything. Petra and Wadi Rom were spectacular and beyond our imagination. Glad we were able to stay at Taybet Zaman for 2 nights and see the sunset at the camp our first night. Our guides took great care of us and were very knowledgeable. Nancy Romanoff, 3 days Jordan tour
