Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Southern Jordan in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Solid operator.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.

Did this over 8 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.
