Mr Zahra was excellent. He provided great history of Amman and most insightful about life in Amman. He even helped up fix our air flights and found us batteries for our Airtags.

I am Jihad, and I am an English language licensed tour guide in Jordan. I am an Arabic man with a Palestinian heart & a Jordanian soul! I grew up in the desert of Kuwait & I am independent since childhood age. My tourism experience is in all kinds of tours such as adventure, hiking, historical, cultural, religious & recreational tours. I am a university graduate, and I have chosen to be a tour guide because I love outdoor work & meeting people. My life experience comes from traveling, meeting people, work experience, & the most important is reading all kind of books, especially the Arabic books. I do enjoy sharing our culture with travellers. I am always trying to encourage travellers to live our culture; for example, eating local food, talk with local people, share special occasions with locals & having a night in a local house. The most beautiful places for me in Jordan are Petra, Wadi Rum & the Dead Sea because they are unique places which you will not find anything similar to in the world. I am proud to share Jordan's culture with visitors where Jordan is a beautiful country, safe, full of history & Jordanians are respectful people. Jordan is a holy land where most of the prophets have been, & this region, in general, is where human civilization started. I do love playing chess, so if you want to lose bring your chess with you!! I do like swimming, walking, reading, traveling and I do some martial arts. The tourists call me the Legend!! Maybe because I do love my work and I know how to run the tour in a smooth and happy way. I can customize any tour or itinerary you would like to do!!! See you soon in Jordan! - Tour Guide Diploma Degree from Jordan Applied University for Hospitality and Tourism. - Tour guide license from the Jordanian Tourism Ministry. - G Adventure Award for the good job I have done for them in Jordan. - Four Years Freelance tour guiding experience. - Luxury tour company tour guide in Jordan. - I work with all nationalities. NO Restrictions

Overview of your Amman tour
it's a private tour, and only you and your group will be with me. During this full-day tour, we will take an orientation drive through Amman and visit the National Museum, the archaeological site of the Citadel, the Roman theater (including its museum), a downtown walking tour, King Abdullah Masjed (Mosque) & Royal Auto Mobile Museum. I am a qualified historian and tour guide, so I have lots of experience to share with you about the history of Amman, Jordan & Arab culture. Walking with me downtown is the highlight of the tour, I shall take you to a hidden old fruit & vegetable market, eating Kenafa from the oldest sweet shop & traditional Arabic light lunch! if we have time we will go to local people's homes to have tea, so you can experience the local living & lifestyle.

I spent a day with Jihad on a general tour of Amman, including dinner. He was flexible to move his schedule back because I had a flight that evening late back to the US -- I appreciated that. He is a knowlegable person about Jordan and was very descriptive of the relationships between the major religions in Jordan and, in general, their respect for non-Muslim religions. If I come back some day, I'll be sure to use Jihad again.

Jihad is the best! Casual, knowledgable, and able to both listen to your interests and lead you to new ones. He provide information and engaged in discussion on both ancient Amman and current political, social and religious issues. His introduction to Amman was pitch perfect!, and set the stage for the rest of our stay in this wonderful city.
Kevin M.United States
Great tour guide. We learned a great amount from the perspective of a Jordanian/Palestinian citizen. The museums and sites we saw were fantastic. I would most strongly recommend him to lead you on a tour.
Sharon W.United States
Enjoyed the tour as we had one free day in Jordan. We would recommend i. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English.
Robert D.United States
Interesting day tour of Amman. Jihad arranged and gave us choices of sights to see, after the Citadel ruins and the amphitheater. This was a private one day city tour before our main Jordan group tour, which was not visiting the Amman highlights. Included stops to eat characteristic foods and visit several markets. Enjoyable day and we recommend.
