Free walking tours in Akaba

I had a fantastic experience on this walking tour with Thumama! He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about Aqaba—sharing fascinating insights and hidden gems—but also one of the friendliest guides I’ve ever met. Even though I was the only person on the tour, I felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire time. Thanks to Thumama, I left with a deeper understanding of Jordan’s history and culture—and a new friend. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Aqaba!

Highly recommend this tour! Thumama has great knowledge of Aqaba and shows you some key historical events that have taken place in Aqaba and what makes it so special. Thank you!

A fantastic tour. This tour won’t disappoint! I had a fantastic tour guide who was very knowledgeable. He gave a lot of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer questions. He offered recommendations of other things to do/ see and places to eat during the tour. Definitely a must do when you visit Aqaba.

We had a great time - lots of laughs and a beautiful little insight into Aqaba

Tour started on time. Mohammed was very knowledgable and friendly. We really enjoyed the time spend with him.

We had a fantastic experience on the free walking tour in Aqaba! The guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the rich history of the city. We didn’t just stick to tourist spots—we walked through the heart of local life, exploring vibrant neighborhoods and markets. One of the highlights was stopping to taste delicious local food and aromatic spices. It was a great way to connect with Aqaba’s culture. Highly recommended!

It was just us two on the tour so Mohammed toke time for us and our questions. Awesome - thank you!

Amazing experience. Thumama told me a lot of interesting information about life in Aqaba, ancient and modern history.

Very good tour of Aqaba. The guide took us to a museum i did not know about and it was a great find.

The tour was super amazing and one of the best tour ever we had. Mohammed our guide was super nice and we enjoy to know more about local culture and history of aqaba. We tried some local food which was so fantastic

Mohammed is very knowledgeable and a very nice and friendly guy. We definitely recommend this tour!

A real joy and privilege to spend the evening with Mohammed. A real ambassador for Aqaba, providing an ideal introduction to its history, geography, and culture. A generous guide I would recommend to anyone visiting Aqaba.

I took the tour during Ramadan and as it is a low season there was only me for the tour. And the guide did it which I appreciate a lot as in Amman I had the same situation and the guide cancelled the tour after I have wated for him for 30 min. Mohamed is fond of history and is sharing the infotmation very professional, we saw the main attractions and then he helped me with shopping and restaurants. I am grateful for his dediation.

We had a very nice tour, Mohammed is a very good story teller and knows a lot about the city and its history, but also about the history of the country. Elias and him are very complementary. They were really entertaining, they showed us the place and lots of food and market places.

He is the guy in Aqaba! Was super friendly chill guy, it was so fun to chat with him, he answered everything i asked, even helped us even after our trip. Great tour!

I had a 1-1 tour

Elias is knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the culture of Jordan.

Excellent tour, we explored the main historical sights of Aqaba and Thumama provided us context and history. Aqaba is an important city in the history of Islam and the Arab world so I recommend to take this tour as it’s hard to get this information otherwise.

Nice walk saw some local history and visited locals market

Mohammed was a great guide to his city of Aqaba. He gave us a local's insight, and an overview of some of the history. He was very welcoming and engaging and always open to questions. We would highly recommend taking a tour with him to learn more about Aqaba and experiences some of the things that the city has to offer. Thanks for a wonderful tour, Mohammed!

Sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr netter, junger Mann, der mir viele interessante historische Fakten vermittelt hat und wunderschöne Plätze in Aqaba gezeigt hat. Außerdem habe ich dank ihm lokales Leben in der Stadt kennengelernt. Seine Tipps habe ich gleich am nächsten Tag angewendet und war sehr dankbar, dass ich diese Momente und Erlebnisse mitnehmen konnte. Vielen herzlichen Dank. Thumama, ich wünsche Dir viel Glück und alles Gute für Deine Zukunft.

The guide cancelled the tour via WhatsApp and we agreed on another date. On the tour day when the guide was 10 minutes late, we contacted him and he promised to come in another 10 minutes. Thus, he arrived 20 minutes late and didn't even apologise. The itinerary he chose was interesting. The guide was sociable and quite knowledgeable.
