Petra Trails & Tales - Walk the Trails, Live the Tales
At Petra Trails & Tales, we believe that travel should be more than just sightseeing - it should be an experience that connects you with the land, its people, and its stories.
We are a family-owned travel agency founded by Michèle and Mahmoud, combining both international expertise and deep local roots.
Michèle brings over 15 years of experience in the Jordanian tourism industry as a travel consultant. She has helped hundreds of travelers discover Jordan's wonders with tailor-made itineraries, seamless planning, and a personal touch.
Mahmoud, born and raised in Wadi Musa, the village next to Petra, has spent more than 20 years guiding travelers on horseback and foot through Petra, Wadi Rum and the hidden trails of Wadi Araba. As the proud owner of three beautiful Arabian horses, Mahmoud offers authentic riding experiences rooted in Bedouin tradition and local knowledge.
