Hello, I'm Thumama, the local Aqabawi tour guide behind Free Walking Tour Aqaba. With a background in history, my true passion lies in culture, politics, and religion. My journey into the world of guiding began when I showed my friends around Jordan. Their positive feedback sparked a realization of my love and aptitude for offering tours, leading me to establish professional tours.
Guiding brings me great satisfaction as I get to inspire people and broaden their knowledge, building bridges between cultures through storytelling. Ensuring that people have the best experience while exploring this city, either during or after my tour, is my primary goal.
My diverse work life in various industries complements my role as a tour guide. I take pleasure in offering travelers a unique and often unseen glimpse into the real-life experiences here in Aqaba. We not only have fun but also delve into the history and politics of the region, making your exploration both enjoyable and informative.
We had an amazing tour with Thumama!! He is great at explaining the history of Aqaba and the places we visited and is also a very nice and friendly guy! We ended the tour visiting some local places and we extended the tour having some drinks with him at one of these local places. We had a great time chating with him. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend and the time went by very fast!! 200% recommended!! :D
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!
We had a great time - lots of laughs and a beautiful little insight into Aqaba
