My driver was amazing and hilarious. He took me to get tea many times. We stopped to feed wild camels at one point. He always made sure I was comfortable with music, ac, etc. There was lots of complimentary water and complimentary wifi (really hard to come by in Jordan). He took me to castles in the middle of the desert and we had tea in a cave. It was amazing. I had a great day. The schedule was not strict and I got to spend as much time as I wanted in Petra. He was punctual and friendly. I often feel creeped out around men as a solo female traveller, but all was good.Ahmad was a great guide - car was very nice and he stopped when needed. Had a great day! He had great advice and also knowledge of the area!
