So much fun! I am a solo female traveler of 87 countries and I am not one for tour usually. I thought—a free food tour what could it hurt? First off the meeting place is easy to find and Mohammed was very friendly and made introductions. We were also lucky because our mixed group of individuals were a lot of fun—so great energy from the start.
We started with a fantastic view of the sun setting over the mountains on the beach. During the walk he gave us historical facts and answered any questions. We all definitely came hungry and after the sunset we went to the fish market area that only fueled our hunger more but it was good to see where to go for the good fish. Then we had a typical sandwich as our first treat-yummy. Afterwards we walked through the veggie and fruit market area as well as the spices market section and even the first bakery here. We also had a diverse selections of desserts that were explained to us, we also tried some different spices, dates, and my favorite was a goat milk that was much different than I expected. We also look in some craft shops. Finally we ended at a little place that sold the best falafel wrap I ever had—and I don’t even like falafel! Mohammed and Motaz were very animated, spoke English well, honest, answered questions to the best of their knowledge and knew all the “spots”. We all had so much fun and we went a little over the two hours window. Would definitely recommend and I of course gave him a well deserved tip because we didn’t pay for any of the food and someone has to cover that cost right? Thanks guys ❤️

Die Tour machte ein Freund von Mohammed. Ich war bei der Tour ganz alleine. Der Guide brachte mir die Kultur und Lebensweise näher und wir probierten viele Regionale Köstlichkeiten. Ich war sehr zufrieden

We had a lot of fun doing this tour - the only thing I was a bit annoyed about was that firstly, we had to wait for over 30 minutes coz he gave the wrong time to a customer and couldn't reach that person anymore. Secondly, we went all the way to a place which was closed.... Yeah, then thirdly, I couldn't stand anymore and had to sit down and he was not able to bring the group around the bench I was sitting on and I sat on my own like a lost puppy. That was a bit weird....

Walk with Mohammed was such a nice experience. He really puts effort into planning these tours. Even though the distance we covered was very short, we managed to visit bakery with delicious sweets and bread, shop with local speciality food like cheese, olives, tahinis, store with spices and teas, as well as delicious falafel bar and sweets stand.
He speaks very good English and has extensive knowledge not only about his city, but also about history of Jordania and the whole region.
If you want to spend your evening expanding your horizons and experiencing the local culture, this is a tour for you.

Tour with Mohammed was totally amazing and different than we expected. Great benefit was that he always focus only on small groups that he can be really closely in touch with and everyone has space and time to ask and discuss. What was funny that Mohammed really likes food so above some information about history we also got food tour. He showed us local stores and tips what to eat, some info about creation (cheese, bread, french fries, oil, ...). I was really shocked when he showed us a small bistro where they make homemade delicious french fries and then he took us on dinner (fish on local market). I little bit about Mohammed he was really friendly, communicative, funny... I would like to say that at the end of the tour we were like a friends. We also got a lot of tips and contacts where to go and what to see in Jordan. Do not hesitate and do the tour with him! :)

Mohammed gives an amazing experience. I highly recommend. He will take you to all the local places you probably wouldn’t go if you weren’t with him. He even buys your food for you along the way. It started pouring rain and he even gave me a ride back to my hostel. Mohammed is such a great guy!

You’ll find not only a guide in Mohammed, but also a friend. He’ll take you to great local places and stay back to chat and help you out. He helped me get a great deal for Wadi Rum!
