Jordan · DEAD SEA DAY TRIPS
You cannot just turn up at the shore: the usable beaches belong to the resorts and the entry fee is the real cost of the day. These 15 say which resort each trip uses, whether lunch and the fee are included, and what else gets bolted on for the drive back.

“Started pretty well as I was picked up right on time. Driver was really good - I felt very safe. Instructions were pretty clear. Plenty of time to see Petra up until the Monastery if you pace your walk accordingly. The jeep ride in Wadi Rum could've been better if some sort of blanket or warmers were provided especially during winter. Buffet for dinner and breakfast at Wadi Rum was great. I wish we couldve spent more time in the Dead Sea resort as we just spent around 2 hours including the buffet lunch. The same resort we used was 25 Dinar as per my hotel but we were charged…”

Although he is technically not a tour guide, he was able to answer all of our questions about many of the historic sites. We were able to stop along the way to enjoy many of the sites from a different viewpoint which was appreciated. Petra and wadi run were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

“It was a fantastic tour that allowed us to enjoy Jordan's three major attractions: Petra, the Wadi Rum Desert, and the Dead Sea. Marwan, our guide, was a wonderful and thoughtful person. This tour was truly wonderful and I would highly recommend it to my friends. The only thing that could be improved was that the bed of the pickup truck in the Wadi Rum Desert was wet, so it was cold to sit on. If they could have been more careful to keep the seat dry or put a cover on top, it would have been even better, so I would like to say so. Thank you for such…”

“Overall amazing, Fox is a legend. Cannot recommend this tour enough. The attention to detail and flexibility was insane. We ended up seeing everything we wanted to over 2 days without being rushed. It’s. A large country and most group tours remove your choice to really engage with the site, culture, people and country but Fox ensured this wasn’t the case, keeping us tight to a schedule (that WE designed) so nothing would be missed, but allowing ample time for us to enjoy every sight. Wadi rum was a life changing experience and the camp booked was phenomenal (they had a cute cat too). Fox also kindly offered to drive…”
Pick a ruin, a shoreline or a stretch of red sand.
