How My Love for Petra Inspired Others to Go Too 🧡🏜️

Sometimes, a place touches your soul so deeply that you just can’t keep it to yourself. That’s exactly what happened to me when I visited Petra, Jordan — a place of ancient wonder, timeless beauty, and genuine human connection ✨.

After my trip, I couldn’t stop talking about it — the mesmerizing walk through the Siq, the breathtaking view of the Treasury, the epic climb to the Monastery, and most importantly, the beautiful souls I met along the way. My stories, photos, and (let’s be honest) nonstop enthusiasm sparked curiosity among my friends. I kept telling them:

This isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a place you feel.

Soon, a few of them reached out and said, “Alright, we’re in — tell us how to plan it!” 😄

I helped them put together their itinerary and connected them with the amazing local guide who made my experience so special: Saadeh Jaibat 👳‍♂️💬

If you're headed to Petra, you have to book a tour with Saadeh. He’s not just a guide — he’s a storyteller, a historian, and a friend. His deep knowledge of Petra’s history combined with his personal stories of growing up in the area gave the place a whole new depth for me and my friends.

🔹 Fluent in English and Arabic

🔹 Customizes the tour based on your pace and interests

🔹 Knows all the hidden spots and best photo angles 📸

🔹 Passionate about preserving Bedouin culture and uplifting his community

We felt so safe, informed, and genuinely welcomed. His kindness and humor made the whole experience unforgettable. My friends came back glowing — not just from the desert sun, but from the heartwarming hospitality they received.

💬 My friend messaged me after her trip:

“I get it now. Petra is magical. Thank you for encouraging us to go — it changed me.”

And that’s why I’m sharing this again. Petra needs us. With tourism still recovering, every visitor makes a difference — not just for the local economy, but for the people who have poured their hearts into welcoming the world.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience something truly extraordinary, go to Petra.

Better yet — bring your friends. Let the magic ripple outward 💫
