Petra Moon Tourism Services

Petra Moon was established in 1992. We were the first inbound tour operator to open for business in Petra. We were the first inbound tour operator in Jordan to focus on adventure travel, and the pioneers of "cultural ecotourism" programs in Jordan. We are still the leaders in this market, but not the only such agents. Good ideas are easy to copy; creative talent is not. Petra Moon has the most extensive desert service organization in Jordan. We have a variety of service levels, from basic trekking camps to deluxe "outdoor hotel" camps. Whatever your style and budget, we can deliver the product. Some things don't change, though-experienced camp staff, knowledgeable trekking guide, and food to rival the best hotels. We believe people travel to experience the depth and diversity of other cultures. Our program designers look for opportunities to get you off the beaten track so you can meet local people, learn about their traditions and customs, and ask about their lives, dreams, hopes and challenges. Jordanians aren't shy, and conversation is still the most popular team sport in the Kingdom. Part of the fun of our business is learning new things. If you want a special experience, ask us. If we don't know how to organize it already, we'd love to find out. We depend on your requests to keep our work fresh and exciting. Petra Moon's general manager is Wendy Botham, an American woman who came backpacking to Petra in 1992 and fell in love with the place at first sight. She brings her dog to work with her every morning because she has the world's friendliest miniature chihuahua, Chiquita, who has by force of nature become our Customer Relations Manager. When you come see us, prepare to be offered any one of a ridiculous number of dog toys to throw for her entertainment. Ayman al Alami is our chief accountant and office manager. It's a thankless job trying to introduce organization into our happy chaos, but he keeps trying.
