Experience the "moonscape terrain"
Explore Jordan's historic lands. See the biblical sites such as Mt. Nebo, the site that is believed to be where Moses saw the Promised Land, the newly-excavated Maqdas Baptismal Site, thought to be where John the Baptist lived and worked, and where Jesus was baptized in the waters of the Jordan River. Marvel over "Desert Castles" built in the 8th century. Camp out in Jordan's famous desert valley, Wadi Rum, made up of moonscape terrain. Discover what it's like to be at the lowest point on earth's surface and float in the Dead Sea!
Be in the know before you go

A valid passport is required to travel. It should be machine readable and have at least 6 month validity after your return home. You should have at least 2 blank pages per country that you are visiting. If your passport does not meet this requirement at the time of departure, you can be denied boarding for your international flight and may consequently incur additional expenses.

What Our Clients Are Saying
-
"Karolina was really helpful and responsive. She arranged and took care of everything for us. We had a great time in Israel and Jordan!"
-
"I will use them again on my next trip!!"
-
"We have been on two trips using Yampu: to the backroads of Southern Mexico and to Jordan. We felt safe but adventurous on each, seeing what we wanted to see, not places on someone else's agenda. The hotels were always fine and the transportation and guides excellent. The Yampu people jumped into to help in a minor crisis (flight cancelled) leaving nothing to chance."
-
"Driver and guide were excellent as I have come to expect from Yampu. Good food and comfortable hotels allow one to concentrate on cultural sites. There is much more than Petra in Jordan. Very interesting "desert castles" and the early Islamic art and Byzantine mosaics were fabulous. Highly recommended trip."
