Awad Hajjara

6 of us (including my 5 and 3 year old boys) spent a week in Jordan with Awad and all of us had a trip of a lifetime. Coming from Canada, we were not sure what we were in for when arriving in the Middle East, but Awad was instantly able to show us that Jordan was a very welcoming and friendly country. 

His resourcefulness to adjust itinerary items, such as changing our Dead Sea visit from the morning to the afternoon allowed us to visit other sites before it got hot, and enjoy an afternoon and watch the sunset at the Dead Sea.

He was accommodating on when and where we wanted to eat, offering local options as well as making sure there was something that the kids would want to eat.  He was willing to carry one of my kids through the hills in Petra, after their little legs were tired of walking all morning. Any request we had was instantly taken care of, and he went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable (I do not know any other 5 and 3 year old kids that can say they rode camels into the sunset in Wadi Rum). 

We will return to Jordan thanks to our amazing week with Awad, and will insist that he be our guide to explore the rest of Jordan.
