Destination Demand in Jordan:
Jordan is known for being a sustainable country and offers a unique travel experience. While it may not be a mass tourist destination, it attracts a high demand for travel during specific months. The months of March, April, May, September, October, November, and the end of December experience particularly high demand for bookings.
Due to its small geographical size, Jordan has a limited number of hotels, rooms, guides, and vehicles, especially during the peak season. It is important to note that availability can be challenging, particularly in high season. The country offers a diverse range of attractions and places to visit, and it experiences four distinct seasons: low, shoulder, high, and peak. These seasons may vary from site to site within Jordan.

As a result, it is not uncommon for the destination to be unavailable for booking during high and peak seasons due to overbooking. We highly recommend checking with us regarding the availability of services such as hotels and guides, particularly during high-demand periods. Please be aware that confirming your booking during peak periods may require additional time due to the high demand for services.

At Zaman Tours, we are committed to providing the best travel experience for our guests. Our team will work diligently to secure the necessary arrangements for your trip, but we appreciate your understanding and patience during peak periods when availability may be limited.
To ensure a smooth and seamless booking process, we recommend contacting us in advance to check availability and allow sufficient time for confirmation, especially if you plan to visit during the high-demand months.

Experience the wonders of Jordan and let us assist you in creating unforgettable memories in this remarkable destination.

Service Standards:
At Zaman Tours, we adhere to the service standards set by the local authorities in Jordan. The classification of hotels, transportation, restaurants, and other local service establishments mentioned in our descriptions aligns with the host country’s standards. It’s important to note that these standards may differ from those in European, UK, American, Israeli, and Far East countries.

Quotations and Service Levels: Our quotations are based on standard services, including standard hotel rooms, full-size vehicles, and standard restaurant experiences, for both Tailor-Made and Ready-Made trips. Standard services refer to the basic plans of each service. Any upgrades or special requests may result in price adjustments.
Transportation: Our standard vehicles include models like Kia Serrate, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, and Hyundai H-1, which are considered full-size cars in Jordan. Luxury vehicles such as Mercedes Benz E and S class, BMW 520i and 750i, and Mercedes Minivan V class are available upon request, accommodating 1-7 passengers. Medium and large buses are also available upon request, with the medium size accommodating up to 20-30 passengers and the large size accommodating up to 49 passengers.

Hotels: We collaborate with a range of hotels that differ in terms of standard and price. Our options include economy hotels for budget-conscious travelers, comfortable mid-range hotels, superior local hotels, and luxury international hotels. Quotations provided will be based on the standard room category. You can request an upgrade based on your preferred type of room.

Tour Guides: In Jordan, there are two types of guides. The first is the escort private guide who accompanies you throughout your tour, and the second is the local site guide found in places like Petra and Jerash. We work with multilingual guides, with English being the standard language available at all times. For other language preferences, availability may vary depending on the tourism season. Our tour guides are licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, and we contract them based on your request.
Drivers: Our professional drivers are English-speaking and responsible for pickups and drop-offs as per the agreed-upon schedule. While they may have some knowledge of tourist sites, they are not tour guides, and it is not expected of them to provide extensive touristic information or guiding services.

At Zaman Tours, we strive to provide high-quality services and ensure your comfort and satisfaction throughout your journey. Please feel free to reach out to our team if you have any specific requests or require further information.

1. Deposit and Balance Payment: Upon confirmation of your tour booking, a deposit of 100% of the total tour cost is required to secure your reservation. This deposit guarantees your booking and allows us to make the necessary arrangements for your tour. The deadline for the full deposit payment will be communicated to you at the time of booking and will vary depending on the departure date and availability of services.
2. Balance Payment for Last-Minute Reservations: For reservations made within 60 days of the departure date, full payment is required at the time of booking. This ensures that we can expedite the necessary arrangements and secure your tour services in a timely manner.

Fantastic tour with an Italian speaking guide We received an excellent service and support from zamantours. Our Italian-speaking guide, Abdullah, was outstanding: he gave us precise and comprehensive information about places and culture, he was highly flexible in the program and tireless in his work. He has been a reference for us throughout our trip. Also Yusef, the driver, was kind and flexible. All the personnel were always punctual and professional.

Skip the Petra by Night experience. Don’t be tricked into doing Petra by night. We saw it last night on 6/12/23 The production value is horrible and the show is really short. Basically by the time you hike down the show is over within 30 min and it is not lit well. The city of Petra is amazing by day and the donkey ride to the monastery was the an incredible experience but I would NOT recommend the night experience.

1-week trip to Jordan Excellent organization, accomodation, and meals. Our driver Hisham is very knowledgeable, great communication and attitude that made our trip memorable. Hisham is a very safe driver, took us often on interesting side routes, and made extra effort to show as much of Jordan as he could in the time we had. He is punctual, and checked on our accomodations and visits. Hisham cares deeply about Jordan and his guests

Family Holiday with 5yr old expertly delivered. We booked our holiday for our five year old through Zaman and couldn’t have been happier. Everything around booking was painless and easy. All airport procedures were a breeze and they fast track you through immigration. We were out of the airport with all luggage within 15mins of landing! Our driver, Sayall, was outstanding with my daughter and ensured she was the focal point of the whole trip. First class. I would strongly recommend the Hilton in the Dead Sea if you have young children. Very friendly and great swimming pool. The Labdmark Hotel in Amman also good for kids and 100pct do the children’s museum. Our kid loved camel riding in Wadi Rum and found Petra fascinating (she climbed up to the high place of sacrifice). She enjoyed snorkelling as well. I’d caution against the Intercontinental in Aqaba. The policies there on swimming pool access work against 5-10yr olds. I’d look elsewhere there given the pricing structure. Overall, if you want to go to Jordan (and you should) and you want to travel with young children then Zaman will have you sorted. Top agency and it really worked for us.

Terrific value, tremendous fun Samanta of ZamanTours, whom we accessed through KimKim, was honestly fantastic. She planned our itinerary around our dates and requests, got us luxury hotels and meals, and best of all--arranged for driver/guide Hamdi Das. We were able to contact her anytime and she was immediately responsive (we made an error and she was able to help us rectify it--cheerfully!). All communications were clear and easy--fantastic Hamdi accompanied us to every entrance (even hotels) and made sure there was never a problem. We had 6 terrific days in Jordan, and are so completely happy. On our flight home, we talked with others who had used a luxury tour group and our experiences were hugely better --at half their price! We highly recommend Samanta at Zaman Tours and Hamdi, guide/driver-extraodinaire.
