• The guide never showed...

  The guide never showed up. I booked this quite a bit in advance. I tried calling the company many times (I had a Jordanian number),but they never answered. This may no longer be an active tour. Viator quickly refunded me, as they should. I was a solo traveler, so maybe it wasn’t worth it to the guide. If that is so, they should update the minimum amount of people for the tour. It turns out if you are healthy enough to make the walk, a guide isn’t really necessary. The bedouins will take photos of you for a 1 or 2 JOD tip, and they do a spectacular job. Each important site has an explanation right there for you to read. As you buy your tickets or show your Jordan Pass for free entry at the ticket area, they also have free English guidebooks that explain each site. I spent a total of 30 JOD ($40) for photos, lunch, and even two decent souvenirs. If you want to start at Little Petra like this tour does in order to shorten the walk, the can drivers will take you there for 10-15 JOD. I chose to start at the visitor center, walk to the Treasury, and then came back. It took me 4 hours, and that was with a detour to the high-photo site at the monastery that many people see on Instagram (lots of steps for that and is a good 40 minute detour). The bedouins harass you a bit for horse rides and also at their shops, especially as you get closer to the Treasury, but they aren’t so bad and most of them are decent people trying to make a living. There was o e bedroom lady that makes fresh orange juice for 2 JOD, and it was delicious. The overall harassment is much worse in Cairo and other major tourist areas. In short, you really don’t need a guide, it’s all pretty easy and self-explanatory to get around.

  This was such a good way to see Petra. Starting at Little Petra and approaching the Monastery from the back allowed me to see everything without backtracking and allowed me to get to the Monastery before the crowds. And Abdullah was such a good guide; he explained the history of the park, the region, each of the major sites, and the Beduin culture.

  This was the perfect way to experience Petra! Abdullah knows a lot of the local history and the modern scholarship. My trip felt like I was taking it with a friend.

  I did this tour with my mom, and Abdullah was an excellent guide! Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. It’s a long day with hiking involved so come prepared with sturdy shoes, water, a hat and some energy bars etc. Highly recommended! Thank you Abdullah!

• The best local Bedouin tour guide ever in Petra

  If you want to really “visit” and “see” Petra, you cannot miss the tour with Abdullah. Abdullah is a local Bedouin guide who grew up inside Petra and he knows everything about this land. I listened to so many stories and learned so much from him about the culture, history of Bedouin and Petra. He knows all the best routes to avoid crowds but also will take you to see those hidden spots that no one else knows. Abdullah even took great pictures for me. As a solo traveller this is such a highlight. He can help you literally with everything you can possibly think of. Most importantly, he truly cares and loves this land and wants to share his culture with everyone. The only regret I have after meeting Abdullah is that I only stay one day in Petra. If I had known him I would definitely buy 2 day pass in Petra and book with him more tours apart from the Petra walking tours. Highly recommend
