There’s a different way to discover Jordan. Not just Petra at sunset and a swim in the Dead Sea, but villages, stone streets, Bedouin camps, and markets smelling of spices. Jordan Tours & Travel was born from this very vision: to offer itineraries that don’t just “show” a country, but let you experience it from the inside, together with its inhabitants.
The name itself speaks volumes: an operator deeply rooted in the local area, with local guides, ongoing support, and an almost artisanal approach to creating itineraries. Not hit-and-run tourism, but the kind that leaves a lasting impression on the memory and, ultimately, even a little bit on the heart.
An agency with roots and vision
Jordan Tours & Travel has been operating since 1991, based in Jordan and with a clear philosophy: cultural immersion, responsibility, and authenticity . Ilaria Dei, a dual national (Italian first and Jordanian second), is at the helm and has lived in Petra since 2007, where she runs the tour operator.
Her vision is simple and powerful: every trip should create a bridge between those who arrive and those who welcome them. To this end, the agency collaborates with local communities, artisans, independent guides, and small social projects.
A catalog of experiences, not just tours
Browsing the programs offered by Jordan Tours & Travel, you get the feeling of traversing the country in all its nuances.
There are classic itineraries like “Jordan in Depth ,” which visits Amman, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea in ten days. But there are also shorter, more intense itineraries, like “Petra and Wadi Rum Escape ,” perfect for those short on time but still wanting to experience the desert and the Rose City.
And then there are thematic tours : archaeological, religious, adventure, or dedicated to wellness and the natural spas of the Dead Sea. Each option is designed for a different audience: independent travelers, couples, families, and groups of friends.
Jordan, Holy Land, Egypt: combined trips
One of the agency’s strengths is its ability to build multi-country itineraries . So-called “Combined Tours” combine Jordan, the Holy Land, Egypt, or even the Emirates, for those who want to broaden their experience and explore the great sites of Middle Eastern history and spirituality in a single trip.
Each combination is designed to minimize travel time and border crossings, with full logistical assistance.
Authentic experiences, from the desert to the monasteries
What sets Jordan Tours & Travel apart is its ability to combine the classic with the unexpected.
One day, you can be walking among the Roman columns of Jerash, and the next, sipping mint tea under a tent in Wadi Rum as the sky turns red. Or you can sleep in a small eco-lodge in the hills of Dana, chatting with local shepherds, or cooking traditional dishes in Petra’s community kitchen.
Each itinerary thus becomes a story, made up of stops but also of encounters.
The human touch that makes the difference
Those who travel with Jordan Tours & Travel describe the ever-present but never intrusive assistance, the passionate guides, and the meticulous organization.
Many recall the team’s flexibility, capable of resolving unexpected issues or adapting the program to meet their needs. It’s that Jordanian hospitality that is felt everywhere: kind, spontaneous, and authentic.
An integrated hospitality network
The agency isn’t an isolated entity: it’s part of a group that includes small hotels and culinary establishments created to showcase the region. These include boutique hotels in Petra and projects focused on local cuisine, where travelers can try traditional dishes.
This makes the experience even more complete and consistent with the idea of responsible travel.
