ペトラとヨルダンでの忘れられない思い出

Ismail was an amazing guide for our visit to Petra. We got so much more out of our day than we ever could possibly have on our own. He knew when to push us a little to see a site that we would have missed otherwise. We were exhausted at the end of the day but in the best possible way. His passion for Petra is contagious. Jordanian hospitality is well known and Ismail is a prime example. Thanks for an unforgettable day!!

We were so lucky to have chosen Ismail as our guide! He truly brings history to life and gives it a whole different flavor. Thank you, Ismail, for giving us the absolute best time at Petra, sharing your amazing stories, and capturing some truly wonderful pictures for us. Highly recommended!

Ismail took me on a tour of Wadi Rum. I couldn’t be more thankful for his company - he was a brilliant guide and excellent company, and also one of the kindest people I’ve met on my travels. Couldn’t recommend Ismail more highly, thank you.

While anyone can walk through Petra without a guide, I cannot even begin to imagine hoe much of what this place has to offer would we have missed without the guidance of Ismail. He is kind, generous, welcoming. Has a great sense of humour and is a wealth of knowledge. We did a full day tour with him and felt like it had passed in a heartbeat. I could not recommend him enough- the experience was simply unparalleled.

Ismail is an amazing guide that tailors your experience to your comfort level and needs. We did an all day Petra tour, and, based on a conversation about what I wanted to see, he took me to amazing spots at the right times. He provided a comprehensive background on each spot whether it was related to history or geology and made sure I had the experience I wanted from trip. I can’t recommend enough for a trip to Petra!

Based on all the positive reviews on Tripadvisor we had booked a private 2-day tour of Petra with Ismail. As described by others before, email interactions with Ismail ahead of the trip were excellent, super quick turnaround, helpful guidance etc. We had planned to do the Treasury on day 1 and the Monastery on day 2, but then I sprained an ankle and had to adjust the program shortly before arrival. Ismail's area expertise, adaptability and good judgement were critical in turning a potentially disappointing situation into a great experience - upon arrival in Petra we had a pre-meeting and then ended up doing the Treasury on day 1, as originally planned, but skipped the more challenging hike to the Monastery on day 2 and instead went to Aqaba and Wadi Rum - in hindsight, this was an even better choice. I have been on numerous private tours in various locations, but this may have been the best of them all. What makes Ismail's tour special is that he combines in one person everything one could ask for - good English language skills, profound content expertise and passion about his subject, customer focus and willingness to adapt to interests and capabilities, a winning personality and just pleasant to be around. I feel that he really transformed our visit to Petra and would highly recommend a tour with him.

We were in Egypt and Jordan for 1 week and took many tours with multiple guides. Ismail was by far the best tour guide that we had! He was very knowledgeable of Petra’s history, the best sights for photos, and he even assisted in taking group photos. We were eager to explore all of Petra and Ismail accommodated us by not only showing us the best spots but also accompanying us and explaining the rich history. I highly recommend Ismail as a tour guide and would definitely rebook him!

Ismail is one of the best guides I've hired in my travels around the world. He's knowledgeable, charming, engaging, and puts in the effort to make the experience worthwhile. He hiked for 7 hours with our high-paced hiking group and provided so much insight. The fact he grew up around the city makes his knowledge more authentic. He also has good recommendations for transportation and other activities. I would 100% recommend.

Ismail is an incredible guide that knows the ins and outs of Petra like the back of his hand. He tailored my tour based on my interests and ability and made it something truly special that I will remember for the rest of my life!

Our experience in Petra was truly unforgettable — and that was entirely thanks to our incredible guide. From the very beginning, he brought the ancient city to life with depth, passion, and storytelling that went far beyond facts and dates. Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury for the first time was breathtaking, but understanding the Nabataean history, trade routes, engineering brilliance, and cultural significance made it extraordinary. What stood out most was his ability to balance knowledge with warmth. He was patient, attentive, and paced the tour perfectly, ensuring we experienced the highlights — from the Monastery to the Royal Tombs — without ever feeling rushed. He also shared insightful local perspectives, hidden viewpoints, and thoughtful recommendations that made the day seamless. Petra is a wonder of the world, but the right guide transforms it from a beautiful site into a powerful story. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend touring with him — it will elevate your entire journey. A true professional and an outstanding ambassador for Jordan.
