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!

Awesome! - Great tour! I was the only one on the tour and Abed showed me all the local places and foods that you can get in Aqaba. We had many stops, he told me many things about the history and was always friendly and patient with probably the slowest eater possible. I'm glad I did the tour because I got to experiences a lot places and foods that I would have probably not found by myself. Overall, it was a great tour and I would definitely recommend it! :)

Must-do in Aqaba - I really enjoyed Abed’s tour. We went to several shops eating delicious local food, something only a local would know! As we stroll around he also shared some information about Aqaba and Jordan in general which quite cool. On top of that, I find Abed a genuinely nice guy. He welcomed me as a solo traveller and showed a true Jordanian hospitality. I’m really happy with the outcome of the tour and highly recommend it!
