Family 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

Amazing 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.

Amazing 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.

Fantastic 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!

Highly 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.

100% worth it!
The most incredible trip with a brilliant tour guide! We had been recommended Ismail by friends and managed to get a super last minute booking with him and we are so so grateful we went ahead with this.
If you’re like me and debating whether a tour guide is required - it definitely was worth it and especially Ismail!
He was on time, took us on a 4hr tour as that’s what we had requested, had a lot of knowledge about Petra and he also looked out for us during the tour with the various stalls inside who are selling things.
Overall a great experience and a great guy!

10/10. The best of the best of Petra guides.
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!!

What an incredible day with Ismail 😊
Ismail is incredible and made our time in Petra so memorable. I cannot imagine how much we would have missed and not understood just walking through Petra by ourselves. Ismail’s knowledge and passion made our day.
If you are not sure if you need a guide then I can 100% say that you do and you should book with Ismail you will get so much out of your day with such a kind, funny, knowledgeable and passionate guide who has lived in Petra/Wadi Musa all his life. You end the day feeling like you have made a new friend.
Thank you for making our visit to Petra so incredible 😊
