Petra Visitors Center
Petra is also known as the rose-red city, a name it gets from the wonderful colour of the rock from which many of the city’s structures were carved. The Nabataeans buried their dead in intricate tombs that were cut out of the mountain sides and the city also had temples, a theater, and following the Roman annexation and later the Byzantine influence, a colonnaded street and churches. In addition to the magnificent remains of the Nabataean city, human settlement and land use for over 10,000 years can be traced in Petra, where great natural, cultural, archaeological and geological features merge. On December 6, 1985, Petra was designated a World Heritage Site,, also Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the 28 places you should visit them before you die.

Fantastic experience in Jordan!
We spent a wonderful week in Jordan and decided to explore the country with Jordan Horizons Tours, choosing a private car for a more comfortable and enjoyable experience. Everything was very well organized from the beginning, including the pick-up. Our guide, Adli, was very professional, kind, and an excellent Italian speaker. He made us feel comfortable throughout the whole trip, and traveling with him was both relaxing and enjoyable. We had a great experience and really appreciated his kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Jordan Horizons Tours and especially Adli as a tour guide and private driver! Thank you for making our trip to Jordan so memorable!
Response from the operator: Dear Marta, Thank you once again for taking the time to share your experience, this time following your Petra and Wadi Rum journey from the Eilat Border. We are delighted that the arrangements went smoothly and that travelling privately with Adli made your time in Jordan comfortable, enjoyable, and easy. Your kind comments about his professionalism, Italian language skills, and friendly approach are greatly appreciated and will certainly be shared with him. It means a lot to us that you chose Jordan Horizons Tours for more than one part of your Jordan experience, and we sincerely thank you for your continued recommendation. Kind regards, Jordan Horizons Tours Management

Amazing first time in Jordan
We had the most amazing time in Jordan through JHT. We booked a private 2 day, 1 night tour from Eilat and was able to stay overnight at a Bedouin Camp in Wadi Rum before heading to Petra on the 2nd day. Everything went off without a hitch and it was truly a wonderful and special experience for us. Basma was great to work with from start to finish- she was helpful, responsive, and wonderful to deal with. Our driver, Youssef was the nicest and so accomodating. Our border rep was also so welcoming and helped us get through the border easily. Our guides that were arranged for us at Wadi Rum and Petra were also so wonderful. We would highly recommend JHT for anyone planning on visiting Jordan. Thank you so much for making our visit so memorable!
Response from the operator: Dear Cruiser237596, Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for choosing Jordan Horizons Tours for your first trip to Jordan! We're delighted to hear that your 2-day tour from the Eilat Border was a seamless and memorable experience. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed your overnight stay at the Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum and your visit to Petra. We're especially grateful for your kind words about Basma, Youssef, and our entire team — we take great pride in delivering personalized service from the moment you arrive until your farewell. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey in Jordan someday! Warm regards, Jordan Horizons Tours Guest Relations Team

One of our best adventures to date with a great company!
My daughter and I did the Petra tour and overnight in Wadi Rum with Jordan Horizons Tours and it’s one of the best things we’ve ever done. I used them for an extra service in crossing the border the day before from Eilat to Aqaba (it was like 30-45 JD) and that was worth it because they got us through the border easily and taxied us to our hotel. The next day we left our luggage at the hotel and the driver took us to Petra. He was great! We met our guide Sami at the visitors center in Petra and then our driver again after we left the visitors center. We then ventured to Sun City Camp for the night which was just incredible. Next day was a 4x4 tour of Wadi Rum w our Bedouin guide- so much fun. Everything was managed perfectly. We had all contact numbers on WhatsApp and our driver gave us a local cell phone in Petra and Wadi Rum and told us to call him any time. I highly recommend this company. Let them take care of everything for you so you don’t attempt to arrange everything in your own.
Response from the operator: Dear lobojen, Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience! We’re truly honored to have been part of such a special adventure for you and your daughter. It’s wonderful to hear that your Petra and Wadi Rum tour ranks among your best travel memories! We’re glad the border assistance helped make your arrival in Jordan smooth and stress-free—our team works hard to ensure that every detail is taken care of so our guests can simply enjoy the journey. It’s great to know that you enjoyed your time with Sami, your driver, and your Bedouin guide, and that the Sun City Camp stay and Wadi Rum 4x4 experience left such a strong impression. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re especially happy that you appreciated the added touches like local contact numbers and full support throughout. We’d love to welcome you back to Jordan anytime for more unforgettable moments! Warm regards, The Jordan Horizons Tours Team

Fabulous trip with Jordan horizons
Meet and greet at airport was fast, easy and professional. My driver for the entire trip was jihad. He was pleasant, knowledgeable friendly, and became my friend during my travels. During my travel, jihad became my teacher and taught me Arabic numbers and phrases. If I wanted to stop for a photo in the middle of our drive, or something to drink, he was always willing to accommodate me. My tour guide at Petra was Mamoun, he was fabulous, very knowledgeable about archaeology, willing to take a photo if needed, and just a great guy to talk to about Jordan and Petra. My tour of the desert with Mohamed was entertaining and fun. I highly recommend Jordan Horizons. If you’re coming to Jordan book a trip with them.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your trip with Jordan Horizons was fabulous and that Jihad, Mamoun, and Mohamed made your journey so special. It’s great to know Jihad even taught you some Arabic along the way — what a fun memory! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Jordan soon. Best wishes, The Jordan Horizons Tours Team

Fabulous tour company. Andrea and Mohammed are amazing and very responsive.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour company. My family was travelling to Israel and while we really wanted to visit Petra, we were nervous and anxious about several things including the fact that we would be in a different country altogether, this was still during Covid times and none of our contacts in Israel could personally recommend any guides in Jordan. From the first time that I wrote to Andrea ( and believe me, I wrote her many, many emails to check and double check !), I could always count on her reply within a day- most often within a few hours. She was very patient, knowledgeable, organized and flexible to allow us to fashion the tour to suit our needs. Our driver, Hasan, was courteous and friendly. Mohammed, the CEO of this tour group, was extremely responsive when we decided to add an activity at the last moment and to cap it all, our guide at Petra( Mamoun) turned out to be a foremost Jordanian scholar of archaeology who is currently re writing the history of those magnificent buildings. The service and professionalism is beyond excellent and I can say that they made our Petra trip the most memorable part of the entire vacation.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border cost?
+
Prices start at $587 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aqaba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aqaba is not rushed.
Is 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aqaba can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aqaba and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aqaba within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aqaba?
+
On Outty we rank every Aqaba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4x4 Full-Day Desert Tour, Wadi Rum Full Day Jeep Tour + Overnight & Dinner in Bedouin Camp, Diving, Snorkeling & Leisure Cruises by Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Aqaba?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aqaba?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 02 Days with 01 overnight Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Eilat Border?
