A process is described for converting feedstock comprising xylene isomers to isomerization conversion product. The process comprises contacting the feedstock at conversion conditions sufficient to convert the feedstock to the product with a catalyst composition prepared by a method which comprises forming a composite of a crystalline zeolite having a silica:alumina mole ratio of at least 100:1 and a Constraint Index from 1 to 12, a binder comprising alumina, and water, and contacting the composite with steam to enhance the activity of the catalyst.
