My (now) fiance planned this as a surprise trip and proposal. I had high expectations of finally seeing the place my parents and ancestors came from, and Ed made it all the more magical. He offered fascinating perspectives of both the history and current climate of Jordan. I couldn't believe how knowledgeable he was! As a plus, he's an amazing photographer. My fiance and I had an impromptu "engagement" shoot in Petra that are better than any photos we could have planned. I would recommend Ed to anyone who visits Jordan - he's the best!

I have been joining trips in many destinations, and it was my first time to visit the Jordan when Raed guided us. Admittedly, he is one of the best guides I have had so far. He is not only competent with the basics, he can bring his discussions to a deeper intellectual excursions. Undoubtedly, this is a product of serious preparation, professional experience, commitment to long-life learning, natural intelligence, unquenchable interest to share with others, proficient ability to communicate, passion for professional work, and even scholarly pursuits. He can bring to light details in a multi-disciplinal approach, able to forward his own views on matters with critical thought - indeed a breath of fresh air - but unintrusive as well as grounded on respect, open-mindedness and camaraderie. 

Raed did a wonderful job of bringing to light the history of Jordan and all the little details of each site we visted. Raed's knowledge and delivery of information was impeccable and made the whole journey through time and amazing experience!
