Unforgettable Petra Adventure with Ismail A Local Guide Who Brings History Culture and Passion to Life

Reviewed June 13, 2025

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Petra with Ismail as our guide, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! As a local who was actually born in Petra, Ismail brings an authentic passion and deep knowledge that you simply can't get from anyone else. From the moment we met him, Ismail's enthusiasm was infectious. He expertly guided us through both the famous landmarks and hidden gems that most tourists never get to see. Despite having just one day, we felt like we experienced so much of what this incredible World Wonder has to offer. His pacing was perfect - we never felt rushed, yet we covered an amazing amount of ground. What truly set Ismail apart was his storytelling ability. He brought the ancient Nabatean civilization to life with fascinating historical details and cultural insights that made every step of our journey meaningful. You can tell he genuinely loves sharing his heritage and hometown with visitors. Ismail was professional, punctual, and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. His local expertise meant we avoided crowds and got the best photo opportunities. Both my girlfriend and I left feeling like we'd not only seen Petra, but truly connected with its rich history and culture. If you're planning a trip to Petra, do yourself a favor and book with Ismail. He's not just a tour guide - he's a cultural ambassador who will give you memories to last a lifetime. Thank you, Ismail, for such a wonderful day! Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, comprehensive Petra experience!

My wife and I planned a last-minute trip to Petra, and while looking for a guide, we were lucky to find Ismail! Ismail was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and also really fun to be around. We had a wonderful day with him exploring Petra, and he even showed us some beautiful spots off the usual tourist route. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Jordan Tour Guide

Reviewed March 19, 2025

Ismail gave us two wonderful days in Petra and Wadi Rum. He was very knowledgeable and provided so much good information for our group, especially in Petra. He helped us notice and understand so many details we would have missed without him. He was very patient with how many photos we were taking, and how long we spent at each site. We were never rushed. On our drives, he was very open to answering all of our questions about Jordan culture. He spoke English incredibly well, and was so kind and flexible to work with our travel plans. We would highly recommend booking with him for any of your Jordan tour guide needs.
