Overview

As a Jordanian writer and a tour guide, I can take you on this special tour that is done for the first time ever in Jordan, and in one of the most unique places in the world - Petra.
I have graduated from a creative writing Master's degree with a distinction and while I am still creating this novel that I was working on for years, I am happy to announce that I will start doing literal tourism where I can share my knowledge as a local tour guide, and read parts of my fictional work with the participants.
This tour will leave you astonished and amazed. It will take you inside a world that normal tourists don't enter, and it will leave you with a deeper understanding of Jordan, and you will carry beautiful memories of the place.

What to expect

Day 1: Wadi Musa
  1. Petra - Wadi Musa
    4h
    Lina will take you on a tour around Wadi Musa to understand the background where the two main characters of her novel grow up. She will explain the local culture and her experience in this beautiful town. Then she will pick a viewpoint where she can read parts of her novel, while overlooking the town and Petra mountains.
Day 2: Petra
  1. Petra - Wadi Musa
    7h
    On this day, Lina will take you around places mentioned in the life of both of the main characters: the tour guide and the Nabatean carver. She will read parts of her novel in some quiet hidden gems.
    Depends on your preference, but we can also add some hiking and read on top of magnificent viewpoints and enjoy a quiet read.
    It's also a chance to dig deeper into our culture; the life of women here, the life of tour guides and the relationship of this work and affect of it on Lina's life.
    It could also be a great chance to talk about history, to understand the Nabateans and their lives. The carvings they left for us, and the knowledge that we still use until this day.
    It will be a mixture of walking, talking, reading and enjoying the local atmosphere in a way that was never done before.
