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

Excellent tour and guide. Jihad was very friendly and accommodating to everything we asked. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we were seeing and made recommendations for us about places to have lunch. We all really enjoyed the tour.

I had a short trip in Jordan and wanted to hit the sites I was most interested in with minimal hassle. I hired Jihad for two day tours. Jihad was very clear and helpful in his communications, was prompt, and took care of everything. Petra is an amazing site and Jihad was a great guide and driver. I highly recommend.

Jihad was a fantastic guide. Not only did he have a wealth of knowledge to share, but he was always pleasant and smiling. After we had set up a custom tour, we found another place we would like to add, and Jihad had no problem accommodating the request. If we ever go back to Jordan, Jihad would be our guide.

If you're looking to connect with both the past and present of Jordan, then look no further then to sign up for a tour with Jihad. Jihad's Petra tour is tale of time through this beautiful land. This trip allows you to experience Petra as it should be. Jihad is a warm and engaging guide. Book this tour if you're looking to experience the best of Jordanian hospitality.

Our trip was well executed and everyone thoroughly enjoyed deeply our stay in Jordan, in so many ways. The best and accurate choice, to travel and to see this beautiful country through JIHAD'S eyes. An accurate, knowledgable, decent and excellent travel planner who is reliable and efficient. There are few guides who would take you into deep Jordan in a safe and incredible way. Mr. Jihad team of drivers, network of hotels, and local team provided an extraordinary journey. Thank you from the heart!!!

I enjoyed my day trip to Petra with Jihad. He was a safe driver, which is important on long drives. I asked lots of questions across many topics and he was happy to engage in conversation with me.
