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
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.
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.
Dear Seth & family, It feels so good to hear that you enjoyed your time in Petra and Jordan. Thank you for your visit, and for the great passion & kindness you had along the way, it was a wonderful day with you. Looking forward to seeing you visiting Jordan again, soon hopefully! Warm regards from Petra/Jordan.
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!
Dear Codie & friends, It was a great chance to see you in Jordan, and show you the beauty of Petra wonders. Thank you for your visit, and for sharing your thoughts. Hope to see you again in our country very soon. Best wishes
Very friendly and informative. Best guide I had
Dear Dr Alaa, Thank you for visiting Petra & Jordan, and for posting. Happy to know you enjoyed it. Best wishes
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.
Dear Nicole, It was a real pleasure to see you in Jordan, and to have that great time we had through the marvels of the old city. Thank you for your visit, and for the great passion and kindness you had, and always have! Would like to see you again, and have the other chance to show you more of Petra & Jordan. Bless you, Warm regards from Petra
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!
Dear Anjlee, Thank you for taking a valued time, and for posting these lovely heartwarming comments about your experience in Petra. It was a great pleasure to have you in Jordan, and show you around in Petra, so happy you loved it. I do hope to see you again visiting us in Jordan, and have the chance to meet you again, hopefully. Greetings from Petra, Jordan.
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!!
Dear John & Henry, Wasn't more excited than finding your wonderful comments here, loved the way you loved your tour in Petra. Thank you for visiting us in Jordan, and for the great chance i got to show you around. Waiting for the time to see you again, soon hopefully! Regards from Petra, Jordan.
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!
Dear Aya & friends, The pleasure is and was always mine! Thank you for coming to Jordan, and for visiting our wonder city of Petra, that was really great. Would love to see you again, and have the other chance to show you more wonders. Best regards from Petra, Jordan.
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 😊
