Outstanding guide - Bassil was such a wonderful guide - friendly and personable. Our conversations were so enlightening, not only about Petra, but Jordan, and the differences between our countries, be it education, homes, energy and more. Highly, highly recommend. As a side note, we travelled during March 2026, and nearly had Petra to ourselves due to reduced tourism due to the conflict in the Middle East - we felt very safe and would encourage others that are considering a visit to go.

Exceptional Private Tour Guide - We had an excellent experience with our private tour guide Bassil in Petra. From the very start, he was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden details of the site. Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury with his explanations truly brought Petra to life in a way we would have missed on our own. He paced the tour perfectly, making sure we saw the major highlights while also tailoring the experience to our interests and energy level. He was attentive, patient, and always happy to answer questions, offering insightful stories and context throughout the day. His local knowledge also helped us avoid the busiest crowds and discover some quieter viewpoints and photo spots. Highly recommend him.

Bassil Made Petra Meaningful, Not Just Memorable - I had an excellent experience with my guide, Bassil, at Petra. He was engaging, deeply knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history and significance of the site. He brought the ruins to life with context and storytelling, without ever overwhelming or rushing the experience. Just as important, he was attentive and adaptable - happy to answer questions, adjust pace, and point out details I would have completely missed on my own. I left Petra feeling like I truly understood what I was seeing, not just that I had walked through it. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Petra, especially if you value insight, professionalism, and a guide who genuinely enhances the experience.

Thanks Bassil, would recommend and do again! - We did this with a 5 year old and 3 year old (my 5 yo had a broken collarbone at the time and was in a sling). We loved it, wonderful experience. Words can’t describe Petra well enough, you have to try it for yourself. But it is amazing, and people are incredible friendly. Thanks to our guide Bassil who was knowledgeable and patient. Try the camels and donkeys if you can too!
