Mohammad made our Jerash trip easy: on-time pickup, safe driving, great English, and a very comfy car
Mohammad was an amazing driver for my trip from Amman to Jerash. He speaks really good English, and we had fun conversations on the way — he knows a lot about Jordan and shared interesting tips and stories throughout the drive.
He picked me up at my hotel right on time (super punctual) and drove the whole day very safely. After dropping me off in Jerash, he waited patiently until I was done exploring, which made everything so easy and stress-free. He even stopped briefly to offer me a coffee, and he had water in the car too.
The car was very comfortable and clean. I also heard from other guests that he drove them to Petra and Wadi Rum, and they were very happy as well. I would definitely recommend Mohammad, and I’ll call him again next time I’m in Amman!
Operator response
We’re thrilled to hear that Mohammad’s punctuality, safe driving, and great conversation made your trip to Jerash so stress-free. It’s wonderful that his local tips and hospitality added that extra special touch to your day. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Amman!

Travel to Petra from the Dead Sea Coast
It's been a wonderful ride! Anas is a wonderful driver and an interesting conversationalist! He showed us unique historical sites other than Petra, including those mentioned in the Bible, and from his stories we have learned a great deal about life in Jordan from ancient times to the present day. Special thanks for the delicious coffee🙏🏼.

Booking this tour activity is the best decision I’ve made in Jordan. Our driver, Zaid Etoom, exceeded our expectations in every possible way. He speaks English fluently, drives well and is able to provide details and explanations about the destination. When my friend and I arrived in Petra, he kindly let us enjoy our time and waited patiently until we were ready to leave. I would definitely recommend him and this tour activity.
