Hello my name Mohammad i born in Amman city (Downtown) and grew up there and still live there i used to do a walking tour from long time ago. and I saw with my own eyes how Amman has developed for more than 50 years, and i know alot about culture and things how comes big defrant from that time whats yang people don't know about it . and I speak as a witness about Amman.
I talk about social relations, how they
were and how they have become now, and I talk about old real stories, and how was the purchase of vegetables and food because, I used to go with my parents to buy from the oldest vegetable market in Amman and it still exists.
Also I talk about the different markets in Amman and the story of each market and the reason for its name. Some of these markets have funny reasons for their naming.
I am trying to make this tour different, and talking about the culture of the local community and more social comes from someone who lived it and is not found in books. I am trying to show the visitor the social and cultural life of the people of Amman. Except for anything touristy or tourism-related. Or historical sites .Only talking about local life . And i have many reviews in different sites for walking
tour before i joined this site .
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!
