'Ahlan wa sahlan' means
'welcome' in Arabic and
goes to show the great
hospitality of the
Jordanian people. 'Ahlan
wa sahlan', you shall
hear it many times when
visiting Jordan. When
people are just making
friendly conversation
and welcome you to their
country or when they
offer you a nice cup of
mint-flavoured tea.
Jordan Experience
invites you to immerse
yourself in the
colourful traditions of
Arab culture, and at the
same time enjoy the
convenient life of the
modern metropolis.
Imagine how this will
be: taking a walk in the
tiny allies of the local
suq (market), drinking
some mint tea or smoking
a hubbly-bubbly (water
pipe) in one of the many
coffee houses.
Jordan Experience
Jordan Experience
organizes trips
primarily to Jordan.
Next to that we can also
organize overland trips
to Jordan's neighbouring
countries in the
Middle-East. We have
extended knowledge of
the region. We know our
way around Jordan from
our own experience for
years on end. As a
result Jordan Experience
can compose nearly every
program possible,
meeting the customers'
individual needs and
wishes. Travelling to
Jordan with Jordan
Experience will give
travellers an
opportunity to see the
real colourful Jordan.
We take pride in making
every trip we organize a
unique experience for
our clients. We stand
for offering a travel
experience beyond
belief.
All accommodations are selected by
Jordan Experience based on their
location, atmosphere, hygiene and
hospitality. We can offer you a choice
from three, four and five star hotels.
Most tours are based on twin or double
rooms with private facilities, unless
listed otherwise. On request single
rooms are available at extra charge.
Just let us know your preferences and we
will arrange it for you.
As for the meals we can offer you the
choice of bed & breakfast, half-board
and full-board.
On camping tours or tours which include
part camping, we provide all the cooking
and camping equipment and we will take
care of all the meals and drinks.
Our program descriptions which you can
find on this website give you an
overview of the practical details of our
tours as well as the suitability of our
programs for different kinds of
travellers and the best time to do the
trip.
Accessibility for disabled persons
If you are disabled in any way and you
would like to come on one of our tours,
you are most welcome. Especially on our
classical tours and pilgrimage tours.
In most of the sights we visit during
these tours we can arrange for your
suitable transportation. Whether the
classical wheelchair or the more
adventurous camel, donkey or jeep.
Please don't hesitate to contact us and
let us know your wishes. We will do
everything possible to be at your
service.
Transportation
Most of the time you will
travel by small coach or air-conditioned
bus, depending on the size of the group.
On some tours you will travel by jeep,
as a result of which you will be able to
drive routes otherwise not passable and
stop at the most beautiful spots along
the way. Jordan Experience also provides
the jeep drivers. But we can imagine
that if you are an experienced jeep
driver you would rather like to drive
yourself. In that case please let us
know your wishes and we will arrange it
for you.
For our group tours the means of
transport are listed in the program
description.
Professional tour management
Our local representatives in
Jordan will take care of all the
practical arrangements during your stay
in Jordan, such as meet & assist with
customs.
We also provide local guides and
interpreters, cooks, helpers, porters
and pack-animals on treks where
applicable.
Passports and visa
To be able to travel into Jordan
travellers need to be in possession of a
passport that will be valid until at
least six months after the tour.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan demands
travellers to hold a valid visa when
entering the country.
Jordan Experience will take care of all
the arrangements for handling the visa,
on the basis of a passport list to be
filled in by our clients. That way we
can guarantee a quick handling of the
visa requests upon arrival at the
airport.
For groups of 7 people or more we will
arrange a group visa, free of charges.
For groups up to 6 people we will
arrange for individual visa, in which
case the Jordanian government will
charge 10 JD per person.
Vaccination and immunization
When travelling to Jordan
we recommend a course of immunization
against diphteria, tetanus and polio
(DTP), as well as hepatitis A. For more
information on the subject of
vaccination and immunization please
contact your local medical practitioner
for the latest information and allow
time to obtain the appropriate
vaccinations.
Insurances
Adequate travel insurance
which covers for personal accident,
medical and hospital expenses,
repatriation and curtailment is
compulsory for everyone who travels on a
Jordan Experience tour. For our outdoors
and adventure tours accident insurance
is also compulsory. We strongly advise
you to arrange for your cancellation
insurance. Please ensure that your
guests carry their (copy of the) policy
document with them
