Our group had a LOVELY LOVELY time with Sami in Petra! Sami was so friendly, kind and patient with us even though we were a bit late and stopped a lot for pictures. He even helped us take some amazing photos and videos at some great viewpoints. Sami was also very insightful and gave us a ton of information about the history and geology of Petra. We very much enjoyed his humor as well! Everyone in Petra also seemed to love Sami too - he's a bit of a celebrity here! After the tour he kept in touch with us and was helpful with some dining recommendations in Wadi Musa. We loved Sami so much that the next day when we came back, we were so HAPPY HAPPY to run into him that we had to take another selfie with him! I would highly recommend Sami's tour to anyone visiting Petra! Thanks so much Sami - it was such a pleasure meeting you! Stay in touch :)

Amazing place. Our Guide Sami made the whole experience 200% better. Balanced mix of explanation and walking. He knows everyone there and all little beautiful corners. He is more of an “ambassador” to Petra rather than a guide. Helped everyone!

We couldn’t asked for a better guide. Sami delivered unforgettable experience. He was very knowledgeable, attentive to our needs & questions, and very kind and polite to us and all other people walking the same pass. Sami pointed the best spots to take pics and took many photos of us as well, which we really appreciated. We extended our tour to view the Treasury from above, and Sami walked tirelessly with us the whole day, still remembering to point interesting details and explaining the history. A short climb off the main pass to the top was a special mini adventure. We are very happy with our guide. Thank you, Sami!

Sami was our guide for a private back door Petra tour and I cannot tell you how glad we were to have him. We had honestly debated whether it was worth having a guide, and the amount Sami was able to show and teach us really elevated our experience of Petra. Sami has been giving tours for a few decades and knew absolutely everyone on the route, from the men working on creating the new inroads, to the rest stop owners and even the archeologists that were on sight digging. Everyone told us how lucky we were to have Sami and we could not agree more. He showed us vantage points we never would have found ourselves and also talked us through the history of the area - not only of Petra but the surrounding areas geography. Sami was also very understanding of our pace, when we wanted to rest, or when we passed on climbing higher at points because the sun and heat was so intense. We cannot recommended Sami enough and hope you will decide to use him for an amazing tour of Petra.

Mooie manier om Petra binnen te komen. Wij hadden twee dagen Petra geboekt. Eerste dag bij little Petra geslapen en baggage naar hotel in Petra laten sturen. Lopende via kloven en bergpaden naar monasty in Petra. Dan vanaf die zijde door Petra gelopen. Al met al een behoorlijke wandeling. Dag er na weer Petra bezocht.
