Why we recommend it
Baraka Destinations is a Jordanian travel company built around community tourism. It says that all of its tourism products are community owned, managed and run, and its promise focuses on personal experiences, sustainable tourism and less familiar destinations. Its offerings centre on Amman and on northern Jordan, where it runs stays and experiences in Umm Qais and Pella.
In Amman, the company's main product is the Amman City Tour, launched in 2026. Rather than a conventional sightseeing tour, it is a four-hour guided storytelling walk from Jabal Amman down to Downtown that explores the city's social fabric and its cultural layers. Stops include the Shocair House for Culture and Heritage, the Amman Arab Museum and the Roman Theatre. In April 2026 the company hosted members of the Jordan Inbound Tour Operators Association on the route, so the tour is also being offered through Jordanian travel agencies as an addition to wider itineraries.
Beyond the capital, Baraka runs an Umm Qais day trip to the far north of Jordan, as well as local experiences in Umm Qais and Pella, giving visitors a chance to see rural life in a region that many itineraries skip. Overnight stays are available at Beit Al Baraka in Umm Qais and Beit Al Fannan in Pella, both community-run guesthouses, for travellers who want to slow down and spend more time in the countryside.
The tours suit travellers who are interested in how people live in Amman today as well as in its monuments, and anyone who prefers small-scale, responsible travel where income stays with local communities. The walking tour involves hills and stairs between Jabal Amman and Downtown, so wear comfortable shoes and carry water. It works well early in a trip, as the stories help make sense of the city you will explore on your own afterwards.
Bookings and enquiries are handled through the company's website and contact page, and by phone on +962 77 666 7660. Confirm the meeting point and the start time of the city tour when you book, and ask about combining the Amman walk with an Umm Qais day trip or an overnight stay in the north.
