Culture
Rakan is from Jordan but studied hotel management and restaurant administration at the Cesar Ritz in Switzerland. I wasn't surprised to discover this when every single time I had contact with him, while organizing my mountain bike trip around Jordan, I left the encounter feeling like I'd just been pampered and cared for by a superstar concierge at a swish hotel. Rakan started as a canyon guide in 2004 and then went on to establish Terhaal Adventures in 2008.
There are short day trips to multi-week expeditions available.
Trips range from easy and relaxing to advanced for extreme athletes.
The skilled team at Terhaal supporting the trips are the tops in their fields.

Description
I did a five day private mountain bike trip followed by a nine day group trip with Terhaal.
I contacted Rakan at Terhaal looking to do a group trip, he was running one for a UK tour operator and suggested I join that trip, but as I wanted to go for a longer journey we then added some extra days for me to get over jet lag and do some training. Rakan found an ultimate guide to do this with me - he set me up with Jordan's national cycling record holder and arranged for me to stay in a great hotel in Madaba and do day trips of my chosing on my bike. I went to places such as the Dead Sea and the Unesco world heritage site of Um Ar-Rasas.
I didn't personally meet Rakan. All my dealings with him were by email and facebook. But he arranged everything to perfection. If I expressed concern or didn't think I wanted to do something he'd suggested, he was quick to make changes and did so with great charm and willingness.
Rakan does lead trekking trips and canyoning. I was doing mountain biking. I was incredibly impressed with the members of his team that guided my trips.
