As you enter the Petra Archaeological Park through the main gate in Wadi Musa, your knowledgeable guide will accompany you. A leisurely 15-minute walk downhill from the gate brings you to the entrance of the Siq, known as Bab al-Siq. Along the way, your guide will point out notable landmarks such as the Obelisk Tomb and Bab As-Siq Triclinium, enriching your Petra experience with historical insights. As you stroll through the Siq itself, allow about 30 minutes to soak in the mesmerizing surroundings, including the Nabataean water channel on your left and ceramic water pipes on your right, all of which your guide will highlight. Keep an eye out for the intricate Cameleer carving on the left side of the Siq, leading you towards the iconic Treasury (Al Khazanah). With your guide's expertise, you'll gain deeper appreciation as you explore the Treasury, capturing its beauty in photographs and immersing yourself in its history. Afterward, your guide will lead you towards the Theatre, Royal Tombs, and (Royal) court, providing fascinating insights into each landmark's significance.

We visited Jordan late April and Early May 2024. We made the decision to arrange the trip in October 2023 and as we wanted to visit a number of places I looked for a local tour guide. I contacted Jordanian Mappers with a request for an airport transfer to Petra, 2 half day trips to Wadi Rum and Dana, transfer back to Amman - 2 half day trips to Um Qais and Casa Amra, and then transfer from Amman to Airport. They replied with an agreed price and secure payment link for an initial deposit and then payment on arrival. A late change forced on us by BA cancelling our flights, meant that some rearrangements were requested and agreed to swiftly. All communications throughout the trip were always quick and answered efficiently. All the trips were started at pre arranged times when we were collected from the hotel - principally by Hisham. The car was clean, water and refreshments were provided and there was even wifi in the car. We were dropped off at the places we wanted to see where Hisham would either arrange a guide or we would wander. Hisham seems to know just about everyone in Jordan and maintains a healthy supply of Twix bars for customers and anyone he seems to see on the way. Hisham is also partial to any kind of Shwarma or cheese filled pastry. There were plenty of stops to take photos en route. Customers may find that the occasional rest stop is arranged at a convenient Bazaar, where you can peruse the local goods. Its not a problem, enjoy it and remember that this is helping the local business community and not multi national Companies. The local guide we met in Dana took us through a walk around the Village and into the Reserve itself, making us tea by a shady tree and feeding us facts about the wildlife diversity in the Reserve. This was all done at our walking pace and we were encouraged to stop and take photos. In Wadi Rum the guide Hossain did a great job driving us around the Desert in a 4 wheel drive. We visited numerous places on an agreed tour. Refreshments were arranged and local knowledge passed on about the area. We were always made to feel welcome and the tour exceeded all of our expectations. Trips started and ended on time and we never felt rushed. We found Jordan to be completely safe and always felt at ease, even though the Region is having issues at the moment. I would recommend Jordanian Mappers and their staff - in particular Hisham as he was our main guide - to anyone wanting to travel to Jordan.

We used Jordanian Mappers for transportation from Amman to Wadi Mousa and the return to Amman airport. Driver, Alaadeen, was waiting for us right on time for pickup and was very safe. We made one stop both ways for drinks and toilet. The van was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend them for transportation, it was a great experience.

I had an exceptional experience with Jordanian Mappers during my recent trip. This marked my third journey with them, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. One of the standout features of their service is the flexibility they offer. I was able to personalize my itinerary, selecting the specific activities and sights I wanted to explore in Wadi Rum, Petra, and the Dead Sea. Throughout the trip, the team at Jordanian Mappers maintained excellent communication, ensuring that my friends and I had all our needs met. They went above and beyond to make sure we derived the most from the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Jordanian Mappers to anyone planning a trip to Jordan. Their commitment to tailoring the experience to your desires and their dedication to ensuring your satisfaction make them an outstanding choice for travel in this beautiful country.
