What an amazing time....

The amazing Mr Q
Mr Qutaibeh Al_Akaileh (Mr Q) is an asset to this experience. He is courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. Mr Q encouraged me that I could, in deed, climb the seemingly impossible rock formations. He personally negotiated my footing and offered his shoulders as support when climbing was a challenge. He always kept our safety and physical needs at bay. We highly recommend this tour and, Mr Q. The experience of seeing the desert and sleeping in a “tent” will be forever remembered. Tom and Terry R

Excellent experience!
An excellent trip all around - our tour guide Abdullah was very knowledgeable and helpful, going out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. This is a great way to see the highlights of Jordan while still making the most of limited time, as we were able to pack so much into just two days. Would definitely recommend!

Perfectly planned adventure
I had heard so many wonderful things about Petra and Wadi Rum so when I planned my first visit to Jordan I wanted to make sure I did justice to these two sites. So after doing extensive research I booked this tour, which had the added bonus of including a stop at the Dead Sea. The tour not only met my expectations but exceeded them. I highly recommend this company and particularly our wonderful guide, Qutaibah. Qutaibah promptly picked us up from our hotel in Amman in a very nice, comfortable & air conditioned sedan. He was very professional, knowledgeable and personable. He informed us about the history of the various sites we saw but most importantly provided some very valuable tips about how best to experience them while optimizing our time in light of our desire to return to Amman earlier than normal the next day. For example, he recommended we do the jeep tour of Wadi Rum at sunset, after our visit to Petra. To that end, to keep us on schedule, he offered to get us packed lunches that we could eat while he drove us from Petra to Wadi Rum. This was a huge time saver and we got to have an amazing meal after working up an appetite during our exploration of Petra. Clearly this company values customer service and is focused on delivering a memorable experience. There were many more instances of valuable advice and information that Qutaibah provided - from how to interact with the locals who inhabit Petra to where to find the best Knafeh in Amman! He was the perfect host and guide, right down to checking on us as we gorged on the scrumptious buffet at the Dead Sea resort we visited! Overall, each of the 3 sights had their own charm but for me the highlights were the visit to the Treasury and Monastery at Petra, watching the amazing geological formations of Wadi Rum at sunset and hanging out under a canopy of stars at night by a bonfire at the campsite in Wadi Rum. I cannot say enough great things about this trip and this tour company. You won’t regret it!

Unforgettable Experience - Book It Now!
Found myself in Jordan and wanted to scratch off a once in a lifetime experience while by going to Petra. It lived up to the expectations and then some. My driver, Qutaibah (Q), picked me up promptly at my hotel and off we went. Drive took right around 3 hours with a 15 minute pit stop halfway where there were restrooms, food, and gifts. During the drive, Qutaibah went over the itinerary and presented options about lunch options (eat in Petra, have him put together a lunchbox for 10JOD, or stop briefly in town we I got back), when the jeep tour would be (either that afternoon or the next morning). He also presented some extensions to the trip in Aqaba if I so wanted. In Petra, we had five hours (and really five and an half since we got to Petra a little early) although Q said to let him know if I needed a little more time. But that was plenty of time to go through the Siq, see the Treasury, and major sites. I’d recommend getting a qualified tour guide but be careful of getting a random guide out front. Also, there are plenty of vendors in Petra selling various wares. Some can be a little pushy but just kindly say no thanks and move on. After Petra, met up with Q and wolfed down my lunch box. There are places inside Petra to eat and buy water, juice. But I wanted to focus on getting in as much as I could. Lunch box was a chicken shawarma wrap and fries. Drive to Wadi Rum took about 2 hours with a brief pit stop for rest room and drinks. At Wadi Rum, hopped on the jeep for 2 hour tour. This is also your transport to the encampment so your stuff goes in the back seat while you hop in the open air back. Drive was bumpy but fun. Made it challenging to take pictures and make sure your stuff (or you) doesn’t fly out the back. Saw plenty of camel along the way. Made 3 stops. Went to the arch where Q took my pic since I was traveling solo. Then saw petroglyphs in canyon. And finally sand dune that you can climb up and go to top of small rock hill. Then off to camp… or should I say glamp. I don’t think this is a traditional Bedouin housing unit - but it was decked out on the inside like one. Towels and shampoo were provided. Accommodations were nice. Would’ve been nice if they had prepped the ac in advance as the room was HOT and it took a while for the AC to cool the room down. I was basically the only guest (along with Q who stayed in a nearby cabin). Dinner was delicious - chicken and rice with various sides and sauces, along with pita bread and hummus. Camp was very quiet. Nice desert breeze and moderate temperatures. In the morning before breakfast, a small herd of camel wandered right by the encampment. Was so cool to see them. Breakfast was an egg crepe type thing, pita, hummus, and assorted vegetables. Jeep ride back to Q’s car and four hour drive to The Dead Sea with a quick stop for gas and another 15 minute pit stop for restroom, food/drink, and gift shopping. Arrived a little early at the hotel and had the lunch option which was buffet style and was ok. If you didn’t want to do that, you could probably get stuff at the pit stop to eat. Towel is provided. Changing rooms are half way down to the beach. Had about 3 hours total there. There are several pools (to include kid pools) along with the main event, the mud and salt scrub. Floating in the sea was incredible. But don’t get the water in your eyes. I was doing fine until right at the end when a little bit got into my eye… fortunately they had a shower nearby where I could wash off. Trudged up the hill back to the main hotel area, met up with Q for a lemon mint drink, and then the one hour drive back to the hotel. Q was great. He explained everything and made sure I had what I needed. He also seemed amenable to alterations within reason of you wanted to stop and see something along the way. Overall - don’t hesitate - book it now.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does 2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amman 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 Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman 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 Amman is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 98 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,344 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman?
+
Around 470 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 Amman 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 Amman and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman 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 Amman 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 Amman?
+
On Outty we rank every Amman experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra, Amman Petra Full-Day Trip. 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 Amman?
+
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 Amman?
+
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.
