— The Rose of the Desert
Petra
Eight hundred steps to the Monastery, two thousand years of rose-cut stone, and one cup of cardamom coffee at the top.

— A note from your guide
I'm Mohaned. For more than a decade I've walked travellers through the Siq at first light, slept under the stars of Wadi Rum, and stopped at every small café between Amman and Aqaba. I make trips that move slowly enough for a country to actually meet you.
There is no script. Each journey is built around what makes you curious — Roman ruins, the desert at night, a kitchen in Madaba. The point is to come home knowing somewhere a little better than you knew anywhere yesterday.

— Where the Desert Speaks
Red dunes, sandstone arches, and a sky so dark you finally remember what a star is supposed to look like.

— Romans, Before Us
One of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Most mornings, we have its colonnaded streets almost to ourselves.

— The Slow Way South
Three thousand years of caravans, crusader castles, and viewpoints that fall away into perfect silence.

— A Country You Didn't Expect
Yes — it snows in Jordan. Between January and February, a different country quietly opens up.

— The guide
For more than ten years I've been a licensed guide. Most days I'm in Wadi Rum or Petra; the rest, on the small roads in between — Madaba, Jerash, Dana, Aqaba. I speak Arabic, English, French, Italian, and a little Spanish, and I drive my own 4×4.
My trips are slow on purpose. We stop for the things you'd never read about: a baker who's been there fifty years, a Bedouin family who'll keep tea going until midnight, the quiet corner of Petra where the last light turns the stone the colour of fire.
