Petra in 3 Hours – Highlights with a private guide

We had a great experience with our guide Hashem throughout the tour. He was knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to answer questions about whatever you have in mind. His explanations were clear and engaging, making the experience much more enjoyable. He was also very organized and made sure everyone felt comfortable during the trip… You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and takes pride in sharing his country with visitors. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an informative and memorable experience.

Hashem was an outstanding guide. He was punctual, courteous, and it was immediately clear he had a deep understanding of the history, archaeology, and culture of Petra. He speaks excellent English and explained things in a way that was both informative and engaging. He also helped us capture some memorable photos throughout the tour. Apart from two locations with direct relevance to the tour, he did not take us to shops or venues, and avoided putting us in situations where we would feel pressured to buy things. A highly professional guide with a very bright future ahead of him. We would recommend him without hesitation.

What an amazing time and experience we had with Hashem. He was on time for our 3 hour tour throughout the backtrack with the most perfect view points to see all while riding through the hills on horses (this was extra $). I love how Hashem customized our tour for us because we wanted to see some different hidden gems throughout Petra and he DID NOT DISSAPOINT! He was very knowledgeable, funny, nice, helpful, appreciative and friendly! I loved how he explained all of the extra cost involved and there were not surprises at all at the end. We had a bad experience the day before with a different guide, so this was refreshing to have an honest person accommodating us and not trying to up charge us like some guides have done in the past. He went above and beyond and booked our fantastic cooking experience and Turkish bath spa night, and booked a referee us to a driver to take us to Wadi Rum! I truly appreciated his excellent customer service. I highly recommend him. We learned so much and he was so patient with our group the entire time.

What a surreal experience! Definitely worth paying for the golf cart and an absolute must to ride the mules to the monestary. Hashem was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. We ended up going over our time with him, but he kindly offered to stick around. He even offered to take photos and knew the best spots and angles! (Including videos while riding the mules) Walk through the siq for sure, he’ll explain so much to you that you wouldn’t know without a guide, then you can catch a golf cart afterwards. Highly recommend this tour!

I really enjoyed the history about the place and we felt completely safe and understood the mean of the Wadi Musa in detail.

Hashem has an exceptional knowledge of the history, culture, and hidden details of Petra, which made the visit truly unforgettable. He created a calm, friendly, and very comfortable atmosphere throughout the tour, always patient and attentive to our questions. We never felt rushed, and his passion for what he does really showed. I would highly recommend Hashem to anyone visiting Petra and looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind guide.

went on a day trip to petra with Hashem a really good, calm, respectable, and very skilled guide he makes sure everyone has a good time during the whole stay highly recommend him

We had an absolutely wonderful experience in Petra thanks to our Hashem. He was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring from start to finish. He helped us a lot, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His knowledge of Petra, its history, and the best spots made the visit even more special. He also went out of his way to help us with directions, photos, and practical tips, which we truly appreciated. What stood out the most was how friendly and respectful he was—it felt like being shown around by a friend rather than just a guide. If you are visiting Petra and want a stress-free, memorable experience, I highly recommend him. Thank you for making our visit unforgettable!

Hashem is a very skilled and professional guide. My mum and I have done a 4hours petra tour with him and he was very kind, respectful and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Hashem was fluent in English and was extremely friendly with our kids . He explained details and stopped at almost every stop in the pink marvelous city . He also took us to the spot where everyone takes pictures near the treasury and helped take pictures for us (although it’s not part of the tour) . Our kids liked the tour a lot , they were thrilled . But unfortunately they were tired from Aqaba earlier that day , so we did two hours instead of three , we could not go further than the theater after the treasury . Highly recommend
