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.
Thumama was a very enthusiastic, smiling and polite tour guide, who took me for a night walking tour in Aqaba. I highly recommend him.
Thumama accepted a tour with a last minute reservation and he was very flexible with the starting time to adapt to our needs. He's very polite and nice, always with a smile.
Wonderful tour, Thumama was so fun, gave us interesting facts about the city of Aqaba and great food recommendations. Thank you Thumama!
It was a very enjoyable, friendly and relaxed tour with Thumama. He personalized it to our taste and interests. He took us to eat an excellent fish dish and to get spices. It was great hearing about the local culture and customs from such a friendly and down to earth guide. We recommend Thumama!
