Hi there at Terhaal, We would like to thank you for the great trip we’ve experienced by doing the Terhaal Jordan Remote trip with Salem. We’ve seen the most beautiful places, stayed in the most scenic places (like the Romana camp site and the Feinan Ecolodge) and hiked really flabbergasting routes. Thanks for a great week! Mark and Kristel

If you have ever wanted to see the natural beauty of Jordan, this is the company to speak with. Terhaal Eco Adventures has some of the friendliest and the most knowledgeable guides I have ever met and can take you to some incredible places. The hike I chose was Wadi Zarqa Ma'in, a beautiful Oasis in the middle of the wilderness where you can come across a wide range of wild flora and fauna as well as numerous Bedouins watering their goats and donkeys. Beyond being friendly and knowledgeable (and being full of stories about Jordan), the guides clearly had safety in the forefront of their minds in whatever we did including in the selection and care of the rappelling (abseiling) equipment. I know for certain that if I am able to return to Jordan I will ensure I take the time to go on another excursion with them and highly recommend them to anyone who is planning a trip to Jordan - or if you aren't sure where to go, going to Jordan on an eco-adventure with Terhaal would be an excellent plan.

Hiking in wadi Mukheiris

It was EXCELLENT in every way. Atef was very professional and inspired us with confidence. As we started the walk some soldiers on the hill said that we couldn't go up - but he very calmly and politely persuaded them. He knew the way through the boulders which was not always obvious to us. He was fantastic with the children - encouraging them but also safety conscious - telling them not to go ahead. He even carried my 7 year old over his shoulders like a fireman for the last few minutes because he seemed exhausted.

We loved Wadi Mukheiris - it was perfect for a family - especially that there was a wonderful destination to aim for - and also was uphill on the way (feeling fresh) and downhill on the way back (a bit tired). After the first part by the road (can you persuade the local government to remove the rubbish?) it was then clean which was nice. We saw crabs, frogs and tadpoles. No snakes. Our boys are 8, 7 and 4. It was perfect for our 8 and 7 year olds, and indeed our 4 year old managed completely fine (he loves walking and climbing) - but some 4 year olds might find it too hard. It took us 3 hours up, we spent about 45 mins at the waterfall, and 3 hours back down.

We would very much like to do more adventures like this.
