The best guide I’d ever have
992ey,,Dec 8, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Sayel our full time guide is the best guide I’ve ever had in my visits to over 45 countries and that says a lot. Not only does he take personal ownership on our safety and our well-being, he goes above and beyond to take care of every detail, every local engagement and every experience. He even took us to a local spot for Thanksgiving and paid for our meal because he knows that it is a special occasion for us. It was delicious and definitely a memory that I will always remember. Sayel also knows the country very well and the hotels/special guides locally which gives us unique access to special experiences. He made some tour changes to improve our time there and always settle us with multiple check ins to ensure we are doing great. He took us to Aqaba as an add on bc we wanted to see the Red Sea. This man deserves your first pick for guides as he is unparalleled in care, authenticity and pure kindness. I bought a rug which is being customized right now and Sayel continues to keep in touch to ensure they will send me something I am happy with. This post trip relationship makes me want to send everyone I know to him. His email is [email protected].
What an experiance, what a guide!

5.00This was an amazing experiance, Experiance Jordan were fantastic to deal with. The trip was made truly special by our guide Motaz Zghoul. He treated us like his family and while I could not have thought Petra and Jordan could be any more special he found a way to show us views that have only been experienced by a few. If you go with Experiance Jordan, you should ask for Motaz, it’s like being shown around a new country through your family.
Breathtaking adventure in the desert mountains

5.00We had booked a tour from Feynan Lodge to Little Petra and the back entrance of Petra. Our guide Jahia and his donkey guided us through the mountains and breathtaking landscapes. The views were fantastic and also the food at the mountain camp very good (only point, it was a bit much for us, we had to leave almost everything). Stunning experience that we would recommend to any traveler to Petra, far from all tourist trails.
Unforgettable Trip

5.00What an amazing time! I did not know what to expect going into this trip as this was my first international "adventure" vacation, but I was completely blown away by the experience and will forever highly recommend Jordan as well as Experience Jordan to my friends and family. Jordan surpassed all of my expectations in every way. The country is incredibly beautiful, clean, and safe. They say that Jordan is limited in its natural resources, but I disagree. I think Jordan is blessed with a great gift: the Jordanian people. The people are so incredibly kind and generous, everywhere you go you will meet people who are eager to welcome you to Jordan and share whatever they may have with you. I'll never forget the strangers who handed us a warm glass of tea mid-bike ride or the food vendor who gave us a bag full of falafel for free. I would highly recommend Experience Jordan for your trip to Jordan, and would highly recommend you request our guide, Laith, for any adventure trips. Laith was such a wonderful tour guide, he is incredibly knowledgeable, well organized, and he will make sure that everyone on the trip has a great time, solo or group. Laith was so personable, kind, and funny and I'm glad to call him my friend. I will be recommending him and Experience Jordan to anyone I know who is interested in visiting Jordan.
An Unforgettable Journey Through Time and Hospitality! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5.00My week-long tour of Jordan was an absolute dream come true, exceeding every expectation. From the bustling history of Amman to the majestic wonder of Petra, the otherworldly landscapes of Wadi Rum, and the surreal float in the Dead Sea, every moment was perfectly curated. While the destinations themselves are breathtaking, what truly made this trip extraordinary was our incredible guide Motaz and our skilled driver Sayel Motaz wasn't just a guide; he was a master storyteller who brought thousands of years of history to life. His passion for Jordan's culture, history, and people was infectious. He knew the perfect times to visit each site to avoid the biggest crowds, the best angles for photos, and hidden details we would have completely missed on our own. His warmth, humor, and impeccable professionalism made us feel like family by the end of the week. We must also give a massive shout-out to our driver Sayel. His vehicle was always impeccably clean and comfortable, a welcome sight after a long day of exploring. He was consistently punctual, courteous, and had a wonderful, friendly demeanor. We felt completely safe and cared for throughout every journey. This trip was a perfect blend of awe-inspiring sights and flawless execution, all thanks to this fantastic team. If you are considering a trip to Jordan, do not hesitate—and definitely request Motaz and Sayel. You will be in the best hands for the adventure of a lifetime
Terrific 👍

5.00We did this trip in December 2024 and had a fantastic time. The Experience Jordan team (especially Furat) were knowledgable, friendly, and we had a terrific trip to celebrate my birthday. We were sad to see so few other tourists in Jordan - the country is beautiful, the people kind, and we never felt unsafe anywhere. If you're debating whether to go, you should!
Hike and bike adventure

5.00This trip was amazing! It was very well thought out and a lot of fun. The hikes and bike rides really let you get a sense of the scenery and the routes were very well thought out. Even though there were some challenging climbs, there were plenty of rests and snack breaks so it catered well for everyone’s abilities. Furat was the best guide, he very enthusiastic and genuine and made sure we saw everything we needed to see and his bike skills were very impressive! Hopefully we cross paths again on some bicycle related adventure! Thanks so much Furat :) :)

5.00I was on the Active Adventure tour the beginning of May 2023 which was absolutely fantistic!! Motoz Zgoul, our guide, ensured we made the most of all our days and experience everything we could. Motoz is a wealth of knowledge of the history and sites of Jordan. He takes great pride in his work. He was accommodating without hesitation and genuiely wanted everyone to have the best adventure in Jordan. Motoz always greated everyone with a smile and respect. He went above and beyond! When I was struggling, Motoz helped me through it with encouragement and a helping hand or two. He sincerely cared about each and everyone of us! Our cycling guides, Sari and Anton, were great! They talked us through the trail and the challenges we may experience on the trail. They made sure we had the fuel and water we needed with lots of great photo stops! We even saved a runaway goat. A beautiful ride!! This adventure was amazing.....from Petra, to sunset in Wadi Rum with campfire and tea, watermelon stop, to learning traditional dances and so much more.... thank you to Motoz.
What an amazing week and what an amazing Country!

5.00What an amazing week and what an amazing Country! Everything with Experience Jordan from booking to organisation went really well. The walks and the rides where exceptional... the people of Jordan amazing with an incredible history and story to tell. Our trip was made exceptional by the people in our group, and of course our amazing guide Motaz Zghoul. Motaz is simply an incredible human being... his knowledge, friendliness, attention to detail and care made the trip what is was. Our bike riding guides Sari and Anton where highly skilled in their craft and took great care of us. Having the support vehicle right behind us at all times was more than re-assuring... it was very handy at times. Experience Jordan rate the trip 'challenging' and it was... but very doable with the right prep. Our group was mainly in their late 50's. There is not much down time... which was fine by us! Our enduring thanks to Motaz, our group and the rest of the EJ team for giving us a week we will never forget!
