“Amazing experience with Youssef and the staff. They were very helpful and reactive in arranging transport to come on site from Aqaba til I left for Petra. I recommend to take the Bedouin camp option for the night. On top of the magical place and simple but comfortable accommodation, the Staff made so much to make us comfortable and share their experiences.”
Join local guide Majd for a flexible Amman walking tour from Rainbow Street to downtown. Taste falafel, kunafa, bread, spices, sweets, and drinks while visiting markets, galleries, local streets, and the Roman Amphitheater area. Pickup and drop-off are available on request.
“I had a fantastic experience on this walking tour in Amman. The crew was incredibly friendly, making everyone feel welcome from the start. What stood out most was the flexibility of the tour—our guide adapted the schedule based on our interests, which made the experience feel personal and engaging. There was also an openness to discussion, allowing us to dive into not just the history, but also the deep cultural and political context of Jordan. It felt more like an insightful conversation than a typical tour. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper, more thoughtful exploration of Amman.Read more”
You’ll travel by private air-conditioned vehicle from Amman to the Dead Sea, Wadi Rum, and Petra, with an English-speaking driver and a local Petra guide. The package includes three hotel nights, breakfast, dinner, airport transfers, Petra admission, a two-hour Wadi Rum jeep ride, and Dead Sea beach access.
“What a great tour! Our guide/driver Basel was amazing! He was very informative and made sure we were able to squeeze in some activities that were not part of the tour, like seeing Petra by night which was incredible! Highly recommend this tour and Basel as your guide/driver Zaid Tours.”
Ride through Wadi Rum with a Bedouin guide such as Bakhir, Yasser, Frhag, or Tamir. In about four and a half hours, you’ll visit Lawrence Spring, Khazali Canyon, red dunes, rock bridges, and either Abu Khashaba Canyon or a sunset viewpoint. Tea and water are included.

“We had an amazing experience with our guide Sultan, he drove us to a few sites where we climb the mountains and walk through the canyons. He cooked us lunch and also a tea with bonfire after watching the sunset on top of a mountain.”
Spend 2 to 3 hours with a local Bedouin guide on a small-group Jeep tour of Wadi Rum. Visit Wadi Khazali, Lawrence Spring, and the red sand dunes, with time for photos and traditional tea. Meet Odeh at the village coffee shop, then return there after the tour.
“We really liked the guide's open and friendly manner. He explained everything to us and was always helpful. Anyone who thinks that a two-hour tour means driving through the entire desert is mistaken. The tour takes you to five locations, all of which are within sight (approx. 2-4 km radius). You have about 10 minutes at each location to take photos. The desert itself is exceptionally beautiful and the tour was well worth it.”
Join Mamdouh and his Bedouin team for a half-day jeep tour through Wadi Rum. Visit Lawrence’s Spring, Khazali Canyon, red dunes, rock arches, and sunset viewpoints, then enjoy tea, dinner, breakfast, sandboarding, and a private tent with a toilet.

“I had an amazing time during this activity. I am a solo female traveler and Bardaghawi picked me up from my accommodation and he was incredibly kind, helpful and amazing. He also contacted a local Petra guide for me after i decided I wanted a local guide. When we arrived to Petra, Bardaghawi walked me to the local guide Mohammad. Mohammad was amazing.
