Meet Ghassab
Outgoing, Creative, Sociable
As a Bedouin who has lived abroad, I know both the Western and the Arab world and try to combine the best of both.
On a typical day...
I won’t be home a lot.
When I host guests...
I can answer questions but let my guests do their own thing.

My name is Ghassab, I'm a local bedouin who has lived several years abroad before I returned to my home. I speak several languages, work as a hiking guide, am interested in natural healing and physiotherapy and have a training as a nurse. I live in a Bedouin Village few steps away from Little Petra.
I look forward to share with you local culture and the way of bedouin living.
My house has 4 rooms with capacity 2-3 pax in each of the 3 available rooms. There is a dining room with space for delicious meals and stories to share and a big kitchen, too. One bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink. You will feel like at home. The house is surrounded by mountains.
We can arrange for you continental breakfast and dinner at a reasonable price.
On a typical day I will raise early, drive my Mom to her goats and pick her up in the evenings. In the main season, I will be guiding tourists on hiking trails around Petra. I also have 2 caves in the mountains and some days I stay there overnight. Some days I cook myself, and on some days I get meals from my sister who lives nearby or the community.

Ghassab is very hospitable, generous and helpful. The price is reasonable. Ghassab can also help with organising hiking trips in Jordan as he is an experienced tour guide.
