Great guides, great countries. Never imagined that Jordan is so magical. I really really really loved it. I and my girlfriends went on this trip alone. Traveling with Memphis was very safe for us.

The trip was super great. Personally, I really enjoyed Morocco. There was this place called "Café Maure" it overlooks the “Abouregrag” River, We had tea with mint there and the view was amazing.
