    Awesome Tour

    I was skeptical about booking this as the last review during my booking time was back in 2023 but let me say, this turned out to be such an amazing tour! Everything was well explained and executed and the accommodation was actually very nice I opted to upgrade my tent and that even made the experience much more enjoyable for me. And of course seeing the Great facade was worth it, just bring walking shoes!

    This tour is so worth booking !

    This tour is so so so worth it. I don’t even know where to start. Day 1 was filled with beautiful views and visiting Mount Nebo was so touching. The campsite was just magical, it was beautiful and peaceful. The food is amazing, the customer service is amazing. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and very nice. The best part of it all, Petra. Petra is extraordinary. Don’t be scared of crossing the border. On the Israel side the process is easy. On the Jordan side the guide helps you with the entire process. It was a breeze! And no they do not leave you behind. They are making sure we are safe at all times. It was very safe and fun! I highly recommend this tour. Book this tour !

    Amazing

    I did the two day tour and had a great time but if I knew better, I would probably had done the three day instead just because Jordan was amazing and two days wasn't enough! Crossing the border was easy and our guide, Ali was the best! Great food, definitely worth it.

    Great trip

    Very well organized trip. The guide was very good and informative. We did not have any issues at the border. Highly recommended

    Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thanks for the excellent review! Glad to hear the border crossing went smoothly. Warm regards

    Amazing Petra and Bedouin Camp

    The trip to Petra was amazing. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, hats off to our driver who drove us safely back and forth. Our journey to Petra was very long, but all worth it. Don’t expect a nice toilet on your bathroom stops. Our driver and bus change in the border went smoothly. Just have enough money for the border taxes. So much to see in Petra, you have to walk at least 1hr in and 1hr out. Wear comfortable shoes. Or you can ride a gulf cart for $15 one way. People will keep asking you to buy stuff, ride a camel, or a horse. The Bedouin camp was wonderful. We were served tea in a campfire after dinner. The atmosphere was very soothing. The mountains were lit up at night, and it looked magical while eating dinner. The food was delicious. The bathrooms in the camp was very clean. The camp that we chose didn’t have AC, but it gets cold at night.. It was worth spending money .

    Response from the operator: Dear Mary, Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us! We're glad to hear that your trip to Petra was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It's great that you had a knowledgeable tour guide and a safe driver for the journey. We appreciate your practical tips about the long journey, bathroom stops, border crossing, and the need for some extra cash for taxes. Your advice on comfortable shoes and the option to ride a golf cart is helpful for future travelers. The Bedouin camp experience, with tea by the campfire and the magical atmosphere, sounds wonderful. It's great to know that the food was delicious, and the bathrooms were clean. Thank you for choosing this adventure, and we hope you create more memorable experiences in the future! Best,

    2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.

    How much does 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem cost?

    +

    Prices start at $510 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 212 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem 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 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    Around 74 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 Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Dead Sea Day Tour From Jerusalem. 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 Jerusalem?

    +

    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 Jerusalem?

    +

    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 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    Included: Accommodation in a Bedouin-Style Campsite; Guided Tour; Lunch; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Israel exit fee - payable with ILS, USD, EUR or Credit Card; Jordanian Visa - payable only in JOD cash; and Jordan exit fee - payable only in JOD cash. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    Abraham Jerusalem is closed at the moment. Meet at the bus stop outside the hostel- Ha-Nevi'im St 67, Jerusalem Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2-Day Petra Tour from Jerusalem if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
