Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Jordan takes roughly 28 hours with a stopover. A long flight is a small price to pay for the culture, history and beauty you're about to be immersed in.
Magic in the mountains, stories in the sand
Jordan is a land where history, culture and stunning landscapes come together in a tapestry of marvels. Be awe-struck by the rose-red city of Petra, float effortlessly in the Dead Sea, or explore the Mars-like beauty of Wadi Rum – where the sunsets feel otherworldly.
In vibrant Amman, Roman ruins sit alongside lively souks, while Madaba and Mt Nebo reveal ancient mosaics and sweeping biblical views.
Hike through wild desert beauty, uncover archaeological treasures, and connect with local culture along the way. Jordan’s legendary hospitality and rich cuisine have to be experienced to be believed – think smoky baba ganoush, crisp falafel and fragrant mansaf shared over stories and sweet tea. You’ll feel like you’ve made lifelong friends everywhere you go.
Whether you’re following the footsteps of prophets, stargazing from a Bedouin camp, or simply soaking up a slower way of life, Jordan is unforgettable in every sense.
Let our Jordan specialists craft your perfect adventure – your story begins here.
Best time to go
March to May and September to November are the best times for outdoor adventures as they fall between the cold winter rains and hot summer sun.
Time difference
Jordan is 9–11 hours behind New Zealand depending on daylight saving in both countries. You'll adjust, but it might take a few days till day is night and night is day.

Travel fuels my soul, the experiences, the opportunities, the culture, the adventures, I have been lucky enough to have a career that is a labour of love. Planning holidays with a high degree of skill, attention and knowledge has become my trade mark.
I absolutely adore planning epic family trips, luxurious holidays alongside organizing a lot of corporate travel business as well. I also travel a lot, as often as I can so I have up to date first hand experience in so many areas. This has given me the skill and experience to share with my clients and ensure they also come away with travel experiences second to none.

As the saying goes, “Travel
is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” I feel incredibly fortunate
to turn that truth into a career, helping others explore the world and enrich
their lives through unforgettable journeys.
I have been privileged to travel extensively, immersing myself in diverse
cultures, iconic landmarks, and off-the-beaten-path adventures that continue to
inspire and energize me.
Growing up in South Africa gave me the unique opportunity to experience my own
“backyard” for nearly 40 years. The breathtaking nature of Africa will always
hold a special place in my heart.
My travels across the UK, Spain, Greece, Turkey, and other European cities have
deepened my appreciation for history and culture.
The perfect holiday for me is anywhere spent with my husband and our amazing
daughters. As a family, we tend to gravitate towards island destinations
because they offer something for everyone. I have been fortunate to visit many
beautiful islands, with my top four being the Cayman Islands, Madagascar, Fiji,
and the Seychelles.
With 20 years of professional experience in the travel industry in South Africa
where I specialized in Corporate, Group, and Incentive Travel. One of the
proudest moment of my career was being named the ASATA (Association of Southern
African Travel Agents) Corporate Consultant of the Year for 2013.
Now, I’m thrilled to bring my skills and knowledge to the New Zealand travel
industry—especially here at House of Travel Rotorua. My rapid response time,
attention to detail, and systematic approach will save you stress and time.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a multi-generational family trip,
business travel, or a school tour group, I am here to personalise any itinerary
to fit your needs.
So don’t delay—get in touch today and let me make YOUR travel dreams a reality!
Yours in travel,
