“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!”

Have a good pair of walking shoes because there’s alot of walking. Oqba is very nice, professional and made sure for a smooth day. I tasted so much food I felt stuffed. 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. I had really looked forward to it. We didn’t get it…”

We bought some local spices. Jumana was an excellent guide. We finished very well fed and my husband's allergy to gluten and dairy was well catered for. It was a great start to our trip in Jordan.
