I really enjoyed this...

Shankaelry_O, Jan 2026

I really enjoyed this Aqaba street food, culture, and history walk. There were only three of us on the tour, which made it feel very personal and relaxed. Anas, our guide, was great, very friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Aqaba. He shared lots of local stories and history while keeping the walk fun and easygoing, and he was always happy to answer questions. We walked through some of the most interesting parts of the city, including Islamic Ayla, the local markets, and the fish market. One of my favourite moments was enjoying karak tea while watching the sunset, and then continuing on to explore more of the city. It was a great mix of history and everyday local life, and nothing felt rushed. The food and drinks were a big highlight for me. I loved the karak tea, the hibiscus slush, the local sweets, and tasting spices at the market. Overall, the experience felt authentic and welcoming, and I learned a lot while enjoying great local flavours. I’d definitely recommend this tour if you want to experience Aqaba in a more local and relaxed way.

Great way to get familiar with Aqaba

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and got to experience Aqaba’s history, culture, and local food. It was a pleasure showing you around and sharing my city with you. Hope to see you again one day you’re always welcome in Aqaba!

An unforgettable experience with Anas!

Heartfelt thanks to Anas for such a truly amazing tour! We visited the local market, tasted delicious traditional foods and sweets, and enjoyed Karak tea while watching a breathtaking sunset. Anas shared the story of Aqaba in a fun and informative way, and he also took beautiful photos for us to remember the moment. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to visit Aqaba Castle, but every part of the tour was absolutely worth it. Anas is a wonderful person who makes the experience warm and authentic… Highly recommended!
