We’ve traveled with Jacada several times (5 or more) and each one is spectacular. The hotel selection, local guides, and trip coordination are all customized and on target with our style. Our most recent trip was to Morocco…. Our favorite part was a toss up between the Agafay desert stargazing vs the Essaouria exploring vs the food tour in Marrakech.…
We booked a 9 day trip to Egypt through Jacada travel (we are avid travelers but had not worked with Jacada before). Trip was for four with two of our adult children. We visited Cairo/Aswan/Abu Simbel/Luxor and Hurghada on the Red Sea. We did this trip by land vz a boat on the Nile (either means are a great option).…
Kudos to Jack and Grace for coordinating all the details for our spectacular two weeks in Egypt and Jordan. They listened to our preferences and selected perfect, luxurious properties where we seemed to always land in one of the best rooms. We moved around quite a bit, and their drivers, airport valets and guides were with us every step for…

We completely trusted their recommendations for hotels, guides, drivers,…
We loved our trip Jacada planned for us in Egypt. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Jacada was able to get in EVERYTHING we wanted to see in Egypt without feeling too rused. The whole experience of planning was fun and easy. Can't wait to plan more trips
