Ammar was an excellent guide and we would fully recommend booking him if you ever plan to visit Aqab - Absolutely loved this tour, was far more than it just being based on food. Ammar took us to other parts of the city to show us and talk to us about the local ruins. We also visited a mosque which was just wow. As for the locals they were all so welcoming. My wife wasn't feeling very well on the night of the walk and half way through she needed to go back to the hotel, Ammar escorted her back with me making sure she was ok before continuing the tour. I have continued the tour the following night with my wife feeling better re-visiting points of interest.

Great tour of Aqaba - The tour with Mohammed through the old town of Aqaba was really special. Through his explanations and many friends in the shops we were able to experience, “smell” and “taste” traditional life. We really enjoyed the evening with Mohammed and his friend Mo.

Great introduction to Aqaba Culture - Mohamed met us on tie, was chatty and friendly, very proud to be Jordanian clearly oved Aqaba. He was an excellent guide. The tour took us through the markets and the old souk. We met some great characters and ate and drank wonderful coffee, tea, and street food. We sat by the beach at night and relaxed with lemon and mint drink while listening to him talk about Jordan. It was everything that was promised and more. Recommended.

Amazing Tour - Me and my wife had a wonderful tour through Akaba with Abed. He showed us a lot of his favorite and typical places. From the beginning to the end we felt like very good friends or family. Abed is also very interested in other cultures. He speaks excellent English and has also a small hotel called Relax House in downtown. Abed brought us also much closer to the Jordan culture and we understand many things much better now. We can warmly recommend this Tour. Thank you again Abed!
