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.
Excellent tour, we explored the main historical sights of Aqaba and Thumama provided us context and history. Aqaba is an important city in the history of Islam and the Arab world so I recommend to take this tour as it’s hard to get this information otherwise.
Sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr netter, junger Mann, der mir viele interessante historische Fakten vermittelt hat und wunderschöne Plätze in Aqaba gezeigt hat. Außerdem habe ich dank ihm lokales Leben in der Stadt kennengelernt. Seine Tipps habe ich gleich am nächsten Tag angewendet und war sehr dankbar, dass ich diese Momente und Erlebnisse mitnehmen konnte. Vielen herzlichen Dank. Thumama, ich wünsche Dir viel Glück und alles Gute für Deine Zukunft.
The guide cancelled the tour via WhatsApp and we agreed on another date. On the tour day when the guide was 10 minutes late, we contacted him and he promised to come in another 10 minutes. Thus, he arrived 20 minutes late and didn't even apologise. The itinerary he chose was interesting. The guide was sociable and quite knowledgeable.
Приятная городская прогулка с интересным экскурсом в историю страны, рекомендую.
