Moreover, we enjoy a healthy relationship with the principal European, American and Jordanian Archaeological missions currently excavating in areas from the Dead Sea to Petra, and Wadi Dana to Jerash, to name a few. If your clients want to be accompanied by a professor of Archaeology to explain the significance of the sites and reveal to them the most recent discoveries, then you should simply let us know where they want to go, what they want to see, and then leave the rest to us. Alternatively, our guides are experts in Archaeology and have the ever-essential communication and people’s skills.
