  • 5Family trip with a great guy, who is a guide as well

    If you’re looking for a guide in Jordan, Ismail is hands down your guy. He was with my family and I and we had a great time. He is SUPER knowledgeable and has a great personality. He was fun to be around and there was never a boring moment. Ismail, thank you for what you do. Respectfully. Tony & Clara. U.S

  • 5Amazing Petra tour with Ismail

    Our Petra tour was the highlight of our trip to Jordan. We had a great time with Ismail. We found him to be very friendly, knowledgable, kind and professional. We originally booked a 3hr tour but it ended being 5hrs. Ismail speaks excellent English, takes great photos and is a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend this tour.

  • 5Amazing day at Petra

    Ismail is an amazing guide! Super knowledgeable, great relationships with the Bedouin people in/around Petra. He will tailor the visit to make it the most memorable for you. We did a 1-day visit and he had the perfect recommendation of what to do, in order to both maximize our time and also enjoy the visit. Most importantly, he is a genuine and caring man who loves to show Petra to visitors. It’s no wonder why he receives 5-star reviews.

  • 5Fantastic experience with real local!

    Ismail was our guide today through Petra and he was fantastic. He told us all about the history of the sites and the different theories behind the area while ensuring we saw all the highlights of the site. Couldn’t recommend Ismail enough!

  • 5Highly recommend booking a tour with Ismail!

    I received the recommendation from my camp in Wadi Rum to book a tour with Ismail, and I am so glad that I booked this! You could not find a better or more knowledgeable guide to take you through Petra. I did the full day tour, including the Monastery. We started very early in the day and I was so glad that we did! It was amazing having the whole sight pretty much to ourselves earlier in the day, and cooler in temperature as well. Ismail told me a lot of history about Petra and we stopped many times to learn about each of the places. I enjoyed not just going through Petra and taking photos, but also learning about the history of each of the spots inside. When it came time to pass through all of the little shops, Ismail did a great job of preparing me for responding to all of the people insisting that I shop in their store. I felt very safe with Ismail throughout the tour, especially being a solo female traveler. We did ride the mules up to the Monastery, which I highly recommend doing, especially in the heat of the summer. There are a lot of people advertising "secret hikes", or "the back ways" to go through Petra, but when you book a tour with Ismail, you don't need to do those things (others will try to scam you into those anyways.) If you have the energy and stamina, I highly recommend booking the full day tour with Ismail! Even if you don't want to book a full day tour, you should still book a half day tour either way. I could not have imagined a better way to see and experience Petra for the first time.

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).
