• 5Visiting Petra? Only with Ismail

  We had such a wonderful time exploring Petra with Ismail! From the very beginning, he was warm, friendly and incredibly easy to be around. He brought Petra’s fascinating history to life with his knowledge, stories and engaging way of explaining everything. We felt very well looked after throughout the tour, and his cheerful personality and sense of humor made the whole experience even more special. It truly felt like discovering Petra with a good friend. Thank you, Ismail, for an unforgettable day – we couldn’t have wished for a better guide!

• 5Two extraordinary days in Wadi Rum and Petra

  My wife and I spent two great days in Wadi Rum and Petra with Ismail. Ismail is a very knowledgable tour guide and a extremely nice person. We're 100% confident recommending him to other people. Book a tour with him and you will never regret the decision. Ismail, thanks again for the very interesting and pleasant tour.

• 5A one-of-a-kind Petra experience!

  Ismail came highly recommended, and I’m so grateful he was! He went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible experience and got to see everything on my Petra bucket list, and more. As a local, Ismail is both incredibly knowledgeable about the area and very flexible and attuned to the interests of his guests. When I mentioned that I wanted to see Beidha Neolithic Village, he mapped out a route that would allow us to fit it in. Later, when we started running short on time, he asked which sites I had already seen around Jordan so he could prioritize the places that would be most unique and interesting to me. If you’re looking for a comprehensive, custom tour of Petra, I can't recommend Ismail enough!

• 5Awesome trip to the Old nabatean city!

  Touring Petra with Ismail was great, he was a very knowledgeable and charismatic guide. We took his advice to pay for mules to get up to the monastery which I think really saved us some sweat and tears. We will also went with him to Wadi Rum which was also an excellent experience. I do not think I saw him drink any water up and down the mountain though so he might be superhuman. Would reach out to him again if I ever return to the area.

• 5An unforgettable, magical experience

  This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s difficult to put into words how special it was, and it was all thanks to Ismail. He helped us coordinate our trip to Petra from start to finish, making it so easy and enjoyable and not stressful at all. Our first day, we did the 7-hr hike in Petra to the Treasury and Monastery. Ismail expertly guided us through this wonder and shared pieces of history to contextualize everything that we were seeing. It helped to us truly appreciate and understand what makes Petra a wonder of the world. On the second day, Ismail took us to Wadi Rum to experience the beauty of the desert at sunset. I had never been surrounded by such beauty. I will never forget my time there. We drove through the desert, watched the sunset, and shared a bedouin meal under the stars. Many people skip Wadi Rum but I wholeheartedly urge you to add this to your trip. You will not regret it. Could not have asked for a better guide. Ismail was knowledgeable, funny and kind. I’m left wanting to return to see more of what Jordan has to offer. When I do, I’ll definitely be re-booking with Ismail :)

• 5The Best Way to Experience Petra? Ask for Ismail.

  Booked a Petra 2 days private tour (Treasury + Monastery) with Ismail, and somewhere along the way he stopped feeling like a guide and started feeling like family. His knowledge of Petra is incredible, but what makes him special is how much heart he puts into everything he does. Always on time. Gave us all the time to explore the place at our own pace. Every story, every hidden corner, every recommendation came with genuine passion for his work and pride for his country. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, entertained, and constantly learning. The famous Jordanian hospitality everyone talks about? We found it in Ismail. (After all, he's the 3rd most famous man in Jordan 🤣) Our legs may still be recovering from all the walking, but our hearts are full. On our next visit to Petra, there is absolutely no question who we'll be calling. Highly, highly recommended!

About Petra

Petra is the rose-red Nabataean city carved into the sandstone cliffs of southern Jordan, reached through a narrow gorge called the Siq.

Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans, Arab traders who grew rich on incense and spice caravans and carved tombs, temples and houses into the sandstone cliffs more than two thousand years ago. Visitors enter through the Siq, a narrow winding gorge more than a kilometre long, and emerge facing the Treasury, a rose-coloured facade of columns and statues cut straight into the rock. The city is a World Heritage Site and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.

Top-ranked sights in Petra: Shobak Castle (Krak de Montréal), Little Petra (Siq al-Barid), Treasury (al-Khazneh).
