Memorable Jordan trip - I had a very memorable day trip to Dead Sea and Jerash with Samer. Samer is an extremely accommodating, professional, and friendly. My trip to Jordan far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend both Samer and his tour company for anyone looking to tour Jordan without worrying about logistics and planning.

Great tour to do if you get into... - <p>Great tour to do if you get into Jordan late the night before. Madaba is very nice. I enjoyed the mosaic and ceramic demonstrations at the Jordan River Foundation. I went in April and felt like I had the beach to myself. Jordanian access to the Dead Sea is only through resorts. Food at the Ramada was good.</p>
