Bassil was obviously the right choice — I think he knows everyone in Petra and greater Wadi Musa! This makes for a great experience beyond the hike through the back door as you meet many other local people and learn the history of the Nabataean city. This hike is absolutely recommended, as it is a nicer way to walk through all of Petra back to the visitor center without having to circle back after a long day. You can enjoy more sites along the way, keep an easy relaxed pace, and stop for lunch or tea as you wish. Bassil was a fountain of knowledge but also fun and generous with his time. We learned so much about Petra and he gave us priceless recommendations. We cannot recommend him more….enjoy!Samuel_P

Très bonne manière de découvrir Petra différemment avec un très bon guide qui tout en nous donnant plein d’informations sur le site nous a fait découvrir des endroits magnifiques et souvent peu connus et moins fréquentés
