REVIEW
"In my life I visited five deserts, but the most majestic is without a doubt Wadi Rum. Where striking rock formations and endless sand plains flow together beautifully, where the Bedouin culture is still experienced in full authenticity and where a beautiful starry sky embraces you every night. The fact that we could experience this desert so intensely and in-depth thanks to Zo Puur and Sandra Jelly was a gift. You will not get closer to a thousand and one nights in this earthly life."

REVIEW
"Living in the now takes on an extra dimension in Wadi Rum, Jordan. Magic about this location is that you can feel tiny in that great plain. On the one hand, that puts things into perspective, but at the same time it brings you so close to yourself: who am I, what do I want, what do I need in order to take the next step in my life? Carried by the sound of the wind, we make time for ourselves. This is a desert with a soul and you can feel it in the marrow and bone. Or as Sandra Jelly says: 'The stillness and energy of the desert lead you to a state of deep inner listening.'"

REVIEW
"The trip to Jordan was an impressive journey. A fairy tale that you have to experience once in your life. Staying for a few days and unwinding in the Wadi Rum desert, culminating in sleeping under the clear starry night. Enjoy the impressive historic city and world heritage of Petra. Finally, pamper yourself with mud from the Dead Sea and float in the water to come out reborn.

REVIEW
"A unique journey in one of the most extraordinary places on earth. The desert of Wadi Rum offers the ideal location to unwind. The intense silence and beautiful views of the majestic mountains wherever you look will stay with you for a long time. The tranquility is anchored even more by the yoga, meditation and breath work sessions and not to forget the special fire ceremony. Of course one of the seven wonders of the world cannot be missed in this special trip, Petra is a must-see. After this spiritual adventure you will be immersed in luxury and wellness at the Dead Sea: the perfect ending to a wonderful journey!"
