“We had a wonderful time touring Amman. The passion our guide has for his culture, religion, and country, enriched our time and gave us an appreciation we would never have experienced elsewhere. As a westerner, I was especially thankful for his willingness and grace when explaining and answering questions about his religion. He created a rich background that made our time in Amman meaningful and deeply enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend fellow travelers spend a few hours getting to see Amman through his eyes, you won't regret it. ps: We revisited every food stop and the spice market he took us to: 10/10 recommend!”

“Oqba was my guide/driver for an awesome day in Amman. He picked me up from the hotel and we started the day at Citadel and then Roman theater.

My favorites were kenafala, hot tea with mint, lemon with mint juice, falafel and humus to name a few. The only food I didn’t care for was the Shwarma - it was tough lamb meat. I threw it away.
