Nada Altaji
Growing up I was eager to learn spoken languages other than my mother tongue; Arabic, and English which I speak fluently. I learned French at school and then got my Bachelor's degree in Spanish and English Language & Literature. There are many reasons why I chose to study languages, one of which was to be able to connect with more people around the world and discover different cultures.
My passion for languages and travel never stopped growing and so I started working at Amani Tours in Amman back in 2017, and as someone who has had the privilege to travel to many places at a young age; I consider it a great opportunity to be able to share my experience with other travel enthusiasts like myself.
So if a passionate, detail-oriented travel expert is what you're looking for then you've come to the right place! Get ready for your next unforgettable travel experience

How did you get involved in travel?
"There's an Asian proverb that says : "It's better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times", and the first time I read this it hit me hard as I completely agree. I have been always been passionate about traveling , visiting & exploring new places, ever since I was a kid.
I used to travel with my parents a lot as a child and in my early teen years ; I started traveling alone, and growing up my enthusiasm towards traveling never stopped , on the contrary; it has only gotten bigger. I just love being introduced to new cultures , traditions , cuisines & people, and traveling is the way to do so.
The opportunity to be able to share this passion with other travel enthusiasts is just great, and I only want to share the most of Jordan's beauty with other travelers.
"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I have travelled to many places over the years, and I have to say that one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken was when I went to Cyprus. I started the trip on my own, but I met up with friends later on, and also ended up meeting new people.
The trip definitely exceeded my expectations, I did not expect that much beauty and serenity in one place! While there, I visited countless beaches, engaged with local people and tried out delicious foods, some of which was the island's traditional dishes. The best parts were discovered off the beaten track; places where wild donkeys wandered around, and where I found random bakeries in the most unexpected places, and boy they made some of the best bread I have ever had.
I do believe there are hidden treasures wherever you go, so seize the chance and go after them, you won't regret it!

We had never heard of KimKim prior to booking this trip. Once we read the reviews, we were sure this is the agency to go with...and we were NOT disappointed. Our local specialist, Nada, helped us plan our trip from A to Z. She had really good recommendations, travel advice and was extremely responsive. Our itinerary, driver's contact details, hotel information etc. was all provided well in advance with a lot of detail so we knew what to expect.

We undertook a trip to Jordan with family. The Kimkim platform made it very easy to get services from a local travel agency Amani Tours directly through the platform. The booking process with our travel specialist Ms Nada was smooth. She was responsive to various suggestions and modifications to the itinerary and provided very good services. The payment process was very trustworthy through the Kimkim platform and is one of the big advantages of using the service from overseas. We got full... read more

This was my first time using KimKim or any travel booking service; we are generally very independent travelers and I usually book everything myself. But with very little time to plan this trip, I turned to KimKim for help with our trip to Jordan, and we could not be happier.
Nada was fantastic in walking me through the itinerary, providing options based on my preferences, and keeping in close communication.
The trip itself was seamless and we were very happy with all of our activities,... read more

Jordan is an amazing country. Our guide, Akram, was the perfect person to show us the country. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating and the nicest most gentle man. I would definitely recommend him and Kimkim. Our favorite sites were Petra, Bethany beyond Jordan, the Castles, Mt Nebo, and the Dead Sea. Jordan is a Holy place that makes the Bible come to life. Being able to see the countryside with Akram was an awesome experience. We already miss him.
Phenomenal week in Jordan!!!

Amazing trip! We enjoyed ourselves so much with the tour. Nada and Kim Kim make it really personal. We learned a lot from the culture and from the country. It was a 10-day tour but with so many activities it felt longer.
I can only recommend Nada and Emad (guide/driver) to anyone who wants to experience the culture and highlights in Jordan.
