The event...a singular world-class desert event in and of itself. The UNESCO site history guaranteed to bring chills on 40C days, if one remembers the thousands of lives passing before the historic Treasury, the Roman ruins, the Monastery, the cave shops, and other areas from more than 2,000 years ago.
Overall - a great trip. Once again Marathon Tours & Travel does an outstanding job on seeing that runners, guest and family members receive Class A service.
Cannot thank your company and your staff enough for organizing this remarkable race! Done a few cool stuffs in my life on my own, so I was a bit hesitant at the beginning about travelling with a group. To my greatest surprise, I had a blast! From my arrival to Jordan to my departure, I felt I was well looked after. Very well organized trip! Looking forward to seeing you all again!
