As someone interested in the history of the region this tour was an amazing experience for me. What really made the trip exceptional was being lucky enough to be assigned Hasan as my driver and guide. Of course he had all the pertinent information readily at hand, but what really made the experience special was his friendliness and personality. It was a wonderful tour with a fantastic guide and I would highly recommend both of them. Thank you Zaid tours and thank you Hasan!

Great trip - the castles are well worth visiting. Our driver added on St Stephen's Church which made the day. I highly recommend asking if you can add this on as you will be passing. The mosaics are amazing! They rival those at Madaba. It is a long day with a lot of driving. Shobak is a long way south but we thought is was worth the time. Karak is great - you can spend a lot of time in the ruins and the view is fabulous. Our driver kept us supplied with yummy Turkish coffee from roadside vendors and made sure we had the best of Jordanian food for lunch yum. Highly recommend
