What our Travelers Say

Ibrahim was a fantastic guide—friendly and full of knowledge. We explored vibrant markets, tasted delicious falafel and kunafa, and learned about local customs. Ending at the Roman Amphitheater was a perfect finish. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Amman! Thanks, Ibrahim, for a memorable experience!

My sister and I decided to go with Simsem for our visit to Giza in Egypt. We were paired up with the incredible Nada, who was so passionate and so knowledgeable. We were picked up and dropped off and were able to enjoy and learn about the incredible sites and this ancient history - that left us mesmerised. In addition, we follow veggie and vegan diets and were perfectly catered for. I would jump on the opportunity to explore with Simsem and Nada again. Thank you!

We had an amazing time at Al Bait Al Jerashi for Bees with our 7-year-old daughter! She loved dressing up as a beekeeper and tasting fresh honey straight from the hive. The homemade countryside breakfast was delicious, and the short nature walk with tea by the fire made it even more special. A fun, hands-on experience for the whole family—highly recommend!

My boyfriend surprised me with a fantastic birthday trip to Dahshur! He arranged an incredible day with Simsem Travel, guided by Sameh Muhammed. We visited a traditional farm, baked bread, learned about local agriculture, and enjoyed fresh herbs and vegetables. We also made date cookies and received a surprise birthday cake delivery. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

What our Travelers Say

The tour is different than others, it covers the key markets in Amman. So you know how to shop around and can go back to continue some more shopping. Ibrahim made the tour super informative and ensure we could try different delicacies Amman has to offer. There were no push sales but stores we visited were so good I did not mind buying some stuff. The next day i returned to some stores to get more good food and drinks. Absolutely recommend this tour to everyone

Victoria

What our Travelers Say

I've done quite a few free walking tours in different cities over the world by now - and Ibrahim's tour was definetely one of the best I was able to experience!! Instead of walking through the most common cites which can also be found by google maps, he walks you through the seemingly endless markets - the tour includes many what feels like hidden gems, that I wouldn't have found or just missed with google maps. I got to try many things left and right during the whole tour and learned quite some practical things for the rest lf my stay too! Also - he explained everything really well and kept the route easy, so that you are definetely able to find your way around downtown by yourself after! And even though I was alone (since I went in a not touristy-month) he took a lot of time to explain, tell and show me stuff! So 10/10 recommend to go with Ibrahims tour!
