Petra Excursie vanuit de Dode Zee

This trip was a pretty last minute decision, Petra had been on my bucketlist for years and with the sudden passing of my mother in September, I decided that this was the best time to take a once in a lifetime trip and this did not dissapoint. I was traveling solo and really didn't do any research into traveling to Jordan at all - all I knew was that I wanted to see Petra and experience as much of the Jordanian countryside as possible and Tayseer went above and beyond to make that happen. As soon as I landed in Amman, I was greeted by a representative who quite literally ushered my through customs with safety and ease and from there, I met Tayseer. He helped me with my bags and also stopped by an ATM to help me get Jordanian dinar before we went too far. Tayseer was so knowledgeable and shared information along the way. He stopped at fun spots so I could take pictures and even brought me to some fun places for shopping. Once he knew I liked to shop, he made sure I did NOT get scammed. On the way to Petra I mentioned that my feet were sore and he immediately booked me a session at the bathhouse - and that was exactly what I needed. It was a fun experience - so fun, I went back again the next day after spending the ENTIRE day in Petra (from 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM). Tayseer told me what to expect once inside the historic location and his assistance helped me tremendously. I could give so many more details about the experience to/from Petra but really, it is a sight to be seen with your own eyes, I cannot do it justice. What I can tell you is the I felt safe, secure, and well taken care of the entire time in Jordan and I owe that 100% to Tayseer. He is so knowledgeable, so caring, and so helpful. If you want recommendations for a restaurant - he knows the best places, if you need something from the pharmacy - he will translate for you and make sure you get what you need, if you need anything - he will be there and that is not only important for a tour guide/driver but it is imperative when traveling alone. So thank you Tayseer! If I were to come again, I would request you and when friends or family tell me they're traveling to Jordan, I will also make sure they request you!

My guide Taysseir made my trip to Jordan. He was the best tour guide I could of hoped for. He shown me places all over Jordan that just made my trip absolutely unforgettable. Thanks so much for making my trip as good as it was

First trip to Petra and couldn't fault the experience. The driver was on time, very polite and told me that if i needed to stop at any time for food/drinks etc it would not be a problem. The guide i had waiting for me spoke perfect english, was very informative and never seemed to try and rush me. He also gave alot of insight such as the history, the meaning behind certain parts and what other routes i could take on my way back that would not be too long. Is a great place to visit but be warned, there will be ALOT of people trying to sell you goods such as clothing, jewels, donkey rides and to guide people on non approved paths etc I was told just to say "no thank you" and that seemed to work

Tayseer had been designated our driver from Amman to the Dead Sea a couple of days before. We had no expectations before we met as it had been booked for us. What we learned about Jordan through Tayseer's eyes and stories in such a short commute made us book for the Dead Sea to Petra tour with him! It has been such a pleasure to learn all the interesting facts from Tayseer in such a passionate way. The provided car was great too! Highly recommended

We had Tayseer as our guide and he was just incredible. He first gave us a transfer from Amman hotel to Dead Sea. We learnt so much on this small transfer that we booked Petra day tour with him. His knowledge is incredible and he just a really nice guy. Would highly recommend and will always use Tayseer on every visit to Jordan.

Jerusalem very nice all history and it is easy to enter the country, people are very friendly, the dead sea is something unique that you have to visit our driver helped us to have a very nice experience, Petra is something indescribable, we touched it snow and always the driver very attentive in everything, Gerasa is something unique that you do not understand how they could get to build it in their time and our driver showed us in the best way, our driver OQBA was always very attentive, Good and the best companion we could have recommended it very very nice person and we will always remember it tried so hard to give us a good Service that took us to know the Boulevards of Jordan as extra, thanks for everything OQBA. See you soon, buddy.

The drive from the dead sea, Jordan side is about 3 hours. it is up hill and made us a bit car sick. Petra itself is huge, it is actually a city. The building that i often depicted is the what they call the treasury, but there are many similar carvings. Many were grave sites. Wear comfortable shoes, it is basically an old city along a trade route and the walk is hilly, rocky and long. The 5 miles is the minimum. there are parts where you can hike up the mountain to see up close to carvings or panoramic views.

Our guide knew all the secret paths and how to get the most out of the tour. He got great pictures. Be ready for an active hike. If your are not in top condition, take the donkey up to the temple! I'm not kidding! But walk down.

Booked very last minute, and petra night tours where amazing, got it all booked and easy payment process. Our driver Ehab was wonderful and we had an Arabic lesson with him on the journey at our request. The tour guide at Petra Ali Masadeh, was also very knowledgeable, on the history and site, knew all the best spots fr photos off the beaten track and was happy to help.
