Hola, mi nombre Mohammad, nací en la ciudad de Amman (centro), crecí allí y todavía vivo allí. Solía hacer un free tour desde hace mucho tiempo. Y vi con mis propios ojos cómo se ha desarrollado Ammán durante más de 50 años, y sé mucho sobre cultura y cosas como la gran diferencia de esa época, lo que la gente yang no sabe al respecto. y hablo como testigo de Ammán. Hablo de las relaciones sociales, de cómo eran y de cómo se han vuelto ahora, y hablo de viejas historias reales, y de cómo era la compra de verduras y alimentos, porque yo iba con mis padres a comprar al mercado de verduras más antiguo de Ammán y todavía existe. También hablo de los diferentes mercados de Ammán y de la historia de cada mercado y el porqué de su nombre. Algunos de estos mercados tienen razones divertidas para su nombre. Estoy tratando de hacer que este recorrido sea diferente, y hablar sobre la cultura de la comunidad local y más social proviene de alguien que lo vivió y no se encuentra en los libros. Intento mostrar al visitante la vida social y cultural de la gente de Ammán. Excepto cualquier cosa turística o relacionada con el turismo. O sitios históricos. Solo hablamos de la vida local. Y tengo muchas reseñas en diferentes sitios para free tours antes de unirme a este sitio.
Very good tour, Mohammad was very motivated and gave us a lot of infos about Amman and Jordan, also many recommendations for shopping and restaurants.
Exceeded our expectations! Mohammed began by giving us a brief overview of Amman’s history at the rooftop of the Pasha Hotel (great views btw) before taking us on the tour. He showed us different markets/souqs, explained their histories and introduced us to some local food and restaurants, giving us a glimpse into local life. Overall, a great experience and introduction to Amman, would highly recommend!
I had such a memorable walking tour in Amman with our local guide from GuruWalk! We began on the rooftop of the Pasha Hotel, where he welcomed us with true Arab hospitality — offering water and coffee while we enjoyed the view. Over coffee, he spent time sharing fascinating stories about Jordan’s history, from its ancient Nabataean and Roman roots through the Ottoman era and British mandate, all the way to modern-day Amman. He even showed us some of his precious photographs of memories of what the city used to look like, which added so much depth and warmth to the experience. After our chat, we explored a variety of markets — the bustling vegetable market, the “thieves” and electronics markets, the donated clothing market, and more — each revealing a different side of local life. He also introduced us to some delicious Jordanian delicacies, including the best kunafeh in Amman! His passion, knowledge, and kindness made this walk one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Amman through the eyes of someone who truly loves it.
Mohammad was great- he gave practical insights to new visitors to Jordan (like which markets and food places to go to for what). He was also very knowledgeable of the history and the layout of the city- would recommend. For another guest, he even went above and beyond in helping them find a guide for other day trips. Thank you Mohammad for a great time!
