Walking tour

I joined the walking tour with Anas and it was amazing! He took me to the local spots and hidden gems of Aqaba. We stopped at the market, had amazing falafel and tea and sweets. I would recommend this tour to anyone

Individualized, attentive tour guide

Excellent tour experience in which the whole day was personalized to my experience and I got to do many fun activities centered around historical interests. Also I stayed at the hostel with them and had an excellent experience — very clean, and one day they cooked me a feast for breakfast that was so tasty and authentic.

Hospitality that I’ll never forget 10/10

The tour with Anes was absolutely spectacular. His hospitality is something I’ll never forget, and he showed us the beauty of Aqaba from so many different angles.
