My name is Motaz, and I was born in the city of Aqaba. I finished my university studies majoring in translation in English. I worked in the field of tourism and hospitality for more than 3 years. I love the city of Aqaba and I have a message to convey to the world about the beauty of this city, its heritage, its customs, and traditions. I work in the field of tour guides and I love communicating with people from outside Jordan to dive into the adventure with me.
Welcome to Aqaba :)
Hope so far you are having a great time!
Our walk tour will start in front of Macdonals Aqaba gate (the center of Aqaba).
With me as a local, you will discover in the most entertaining way, Aqaba, its modern history, and culture, as well as some curiosities and facts about local and religion.
We will explore together the story of the city and give you an introduction to Jordan and Aqaba!
After that, the tour begins with passing the oldest vegetables-food market and tasting some of the local tea with different typical Jordanian food and satisfying your sweet tooth with local cookies.
We will continue through the old market (Al-souk) by walking and talking and tasting some local foods, Jordanian fries, and Arabic oil perfume.
Don't forget to make your belly starve!
We will meet inside the Aylacircle opposite the McDonald's
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
