Petra by Night: a mesmerizing experience
We had a long layover in Amman and decided to spend it at Petra by Night. We reached out to Zaid Tours and Travel alongwith few other travel companies but boy, how professional and responsive these people were! Right from the first response they were very clear and transparent about their process, guided us very professionally and made our trip highly enjoyable. Sammy Keyani was there to welcome us at the airport and from the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. His English was good, he was very knowledgeable and extremely respectful with the family. We highly recommend you asking for Sammy, you won’t regret it.

Amazing time with Basel
What an excellent day! Basel picked me up from my hotel from 7am and we arrived at Petra at 10:45. Basel spoke perfect english and was an incredibly safe driver! He was also very knowledgable about Jordan.
While at Petra, I had a great time and was able to make it up to the monastery. Tour guide was great as well. I returned to Basel’s car 1 hour late and Basel had no problem with this. We went straight back to my hotel after.
Highly recommend this tour/driver for anyone who wants to visit Petra. Ask for Basel!

Amer, best driver ever!
We had 12 hours of connecting time in Amman and decided to take a tour and visit Petra. Our driver Amer was waiting for us at the airport and texted me before we even left the airplane.
The three hours drive to Patra was very enjoyable with Amer, but the return was even better. We spent the time talking about movies and music. What a knowledgeable person!
In Petra, we had time enough to visit the main locations and enjoy that beautiful place.
Looking forward to coming back with more time and spending some time getting to visit Amman with Amer.

Best Driver in Amman
Mr Hasan from Zaid Tours was our driver and guide during our 3 days in Jordan. He speaks very good English and is very friendly. He was incredibly responsive from the start of our stay and reviewed our itinerary and made suggestions we welcomed (so happy we did). Hasan sure we experienced as many wonderful sites as possible in Jordan. He recommended us to the local food and even treated us to a cup of coffee on an early morning pick up. He brought us to shops with of quality with local prices. He went above and beyond at every chance and we truly are grateful to have had this experience with him. Hasan is very responsible and reliable, he truly touched our hearts with his care and hospitality. We highly recommend him.
