JORDAN
Petra - one of the 7 wonders of the world

Jordan offers beautiful beaches; fantastic food; jeep safaris and Bedouin cave "B&B"s in Wadi Rum desert, excellent scuba diving in the Red Sea; ancient Roman ruins in Jerash and Amman; and, of course, Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some how, few travelers make it to this small Middle Eastern nation, meaning visitors can enjoy exploring this amazing country without running into herds of other tourists.
It's impossible to go a day without at least a few Jordanians smiling at you and saying "welcome." Everyday Jordanians from falafel shop owners to young college students will go out of their way to ensure you know where you are, know where you are going, and have a safe plan to get there. I love the country so much that I began leading group tours there. My next group trip to Jordan in April, 2022!
“I’ve been to both Cuba and Jordan through EscapingNY and I have to say both trips have been the best experiences ever. EscapingNY brings a touch of local culture in the trip. If EscapingNY offers any new destinations in the future, I would not hesitate to go. In fact, I have already made plans to return to Jordan though EscapingNY.”
“This has been the best trip I have taken and I’ve traveled to the Middle East several times. Everything was so well organized and there was a great balance of adventure and culture. I already signed up for next year’s EscapingNY Jordan trip and am recommending it to others.”
“This is the best trip I’ve ever been on and I’ve traveled pretty extensively. The trip was well-organized, the guides were incredible, I made new friends, and I’m already planning to join next year’s trip!”
“I joined EscapingNY group trips to Jordan, Mexico, and Cuba, which offered in-depth, authentic experiences. I’d highly recommend EscapingNY to anyone interested in really getting to know a country.”
Planning your own trip to jordan
In addition to leading group tours to Jordan, I also help individuals, couples, and groups plan their own personalized trip to Jordan (among other locations). Instead of spending dozens of hours researching and stressing out over conflicting information online, you just tell me about your interests, budget, trip goals, and travel style, and I handle the rest. I have helped many solo travelers and couples travel through Jordan (you can find testimonials here) and I absolutely can help plan your trip.
I offer full-service packages that include booking accommodations, guides, drivers, and planning the full itinerary but I also offer basic consultations to help travelers figure out what cities to go to, how much time to spend there, what to do, and how to get around, etc.
“Our trip to Jordan was FANTASTIC. We fell in love with the country and felt really confident knowing our drivers and guides were vetted, and terrific! Hiring EscapingNY to plan our trip was invaluable; my husband and I wouldn’t have had many of the experiences that we had otherwise. Cassandra knows her stuff and and is a pleasure to work with—working with her was the best investment we could have made!”
“Having EscapingNY plan our Jordan trip saved us COUNTLESS hours surfing the web and scavenging wishy-washy blog posts from unreliable sources. Cassandra knows Jordan like the back of her hand. She was there with us every step of the way during our trip, and was able to advise us on beautiful spots that aren’t in the popular guide books! Jordan is amazing on its own, but EscapingNY’s tips made it unforgettable - and with no stress for me!”
