Guide #4378
I am a Bedouin from Petra. I was born in a Bedouin tent on the mountain heights above Petra. When I was a child my family and I would often take our rest and relaxation in the caves of the ancient city of Petra. Petra was my playground as a child and my place of inspiration. I used to walk almost five miles to school, and living in this openness made my mind open and my dreams infinite. When I finished my higher education I got specialized in Radiological Technology and worked at a hospital as the head of x-ray department for four successive years but my passion to the rocks of Petra kept me guiding guests from time to another before I quited to become a full time freelance licensed tour guide. I'm totally passionate about history and ancient cultures. One of the things I love the most is to see people's smile and hear the "wow" they say when see or understand something new. Private tours really help on this as everything becomes much more personal and intense and the simple fact that you arrange everything with your guide, this helps to create a relationship even before you get here. I'm also a relaxed and laid back person, I always prefer to turn these tours into an informal walk and conversation, allowing you to feel and understand the places. Though tours are planned to be informal, they are also planned to be very informative and 100% customizable.

We had a great time with Mahmoud. Exceptional guide, extensive explanations on all the history of Petra and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
We took this tour in January, 2026. My wife and I booked the "Multi-Day (10 day) Trip all over Jordan" with Mahmoud H. It was a fantastic trip. Mahmoud was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Jordan's history and told us many stories about the ancient times and as life as a Bedouin. This tour also came with a very nice SUV including a driver for the entire...
Mahmoud is an excellent guide and provided our group with an unforgettable experience. Group members commented about the breath of his knowledge and the effectiveness of his communication skills. For some of us this was our first visit to Jordan. Others were returning visitors. Everyone had the same reaction to Mahmoud and appreciated how he enhanced our visit. He has our...
A flight cancellation shortened our time in Jordan to two days. Mahmoud devised an itinerary that allowed us to see Jarash and Petra ( along with Mountain Nebo). Mahmoud lives in Petra so he has exceptional knowledge of the huge Petra site ( don’t stop at the Treasury, that is just the warm up act). Mahmoud has a great personality to match his knowledge of history.
