Private Petra Shore Excursion from Aqaba Port with a Local Guide

Ahlan wa Sahlan – Welcome to Jordan! My name is Jihad, and it would be my pleasure to welcome you to Jordan—the country I proudly call home. Born and raised in Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, I have spent my life exploring Jordan's remarkable history, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural traditions. As a licensed Jordanian tour guide and a registered member of the Jordan Tour Guides Association (JTGA) since 2011, I have had the privilege of introducing travelers from around the world to the authentic Jordan beyond the guidebooks. Whether you're dreaming of standing before Petra's magnificent Treasury, experiencing the silence of Wadi Rum, floating effortlessly in the Dead Sea, exploring the Roman city of Jerash, or discovering hidden places that most visitors never see, I will create a journey designed around your interests, pace, and travel style. ## Why Travel With Me? I believe the best tours are not about rushing from one attraction to another—they're about meaningful experiences, genuine conversations, and unforgettable moments. When you travel with me, you'll enjoy: * Fully customized private tours throughout Jordan * Authentic local experiences beyond the typical tourist route * Fascinating stories that bring Jordan's history and culture to life * Flexible itineraries tailored to your interests and schedule * Comfortable private transportation for individuals, couples, families, and small groups * Honest recommendations for restaurants, hotels, and local experiences Whether you're passionate about archaeology, biblical history, photography, hiking, Bedouin culture, or simply experiencing Jordan at a relaxed pace, I'll ensure your trip is both enriching and enjoyable. ## My Promise From the moment you arrive until the day you leave, my goal is to make your journey seamless, comfortable, and unforgettable. I take pride in treating every guest as a friend rather than a tourist, sharing the warmth and hospitality for which Jordanians are known. I look forward to welcoming you with our traditional greeting: **Ahlan wa Sahlan—Welcome to Jordan. Let's discover its wonders together.** *** Credentials * Licensed Jordan Tour Guide * Registered Member of the Jordan Tour Guides Association (JTGA) since 2011 * More than a decade of professional guiding experience * Born and raised in Petra, offering genuine local insight and authentic experiences throughout Jordan
