Unforgettable time in Jordan
We had an amazing time in Jordan with a great tour organization. JHT organized pick up in Tel Aviv, border transfer to Jordan, Wadi Rum and Petra tour, as well us transfer from Aqaba to Amman airport for us. We travel a lot around the world, but those people made the time unforgettable for us. Highlight: We went out for a horse ride during sundown in Wadi Rum - a once in a life time experience. We had with Ali, a great and welcoming driver for all days and an adventerous day in Petra with Kamal the most entertaining guide ever. Really great was also communication with Mohammed, who was always reachebale for us in Jordan. Highly recommend Jordan Horizon Tours, when travel to Jordan - the know what they do 😊 Kind greetings from Austria Julia & Raffael

Walk in Petra and glamping in Wadi Rum
JHT provided excellent service from the beginning to the end of our trip. It started with communications by emails and WhatsApp. All our questions and concerns were answered on time with clear and friendly clarifications. We met on the border on the Jordan side, and till the last moment in Jordan we felt that the company actually cares about our wellbeing, specifically: - communications with officials on the border were taken by company's representatives - experienced driver with a professional attitude drove us to Petra, to Wadi Rum, and back to the border. The car (spacious and comfortable sedan) had WiFi connection to Internet, and USB and socket chargers - we planned to use the backroad entry to Petra, but at the last moment this plan was changed because the backroad was not available due to maintenance work. Anyway, a high quality guide spent 6 hours with us making Petra walk memorable and enjoyable. - Wadi Rum Nights Luxury Camp gave us the best tent ( #11 ) with two beds. Normally only one bed option is available in stargazing ("bubble") tents. We were surprised by the tent's quality, especially by the modern shower and high water pressure . - good timing and impressive adventure on the second day in Wadi Rum with a Bedouin guide (8am-noon). We found that 4 hours is the optimal time for us to explore the Wadi Rum - met again with "our" driver, had a lunch in Wadi Rum (acceptable) - return to the border, met another JHT person who helped us to pass the border from Jordan side. Thank you JHT team, good work! Mohammed, thank you for impeccable coordination!

Excellent company . Will use again - third time
Jordan Horizon Tours We used JHT in 2019 and again in 2021. To cross the border at Rabin , visit Petra and Wadi Ram , this time with our children . Their price was competitive, but more importantly their driver , guide and guide in Petra were highly professional and knowledgeable. You need to specify the level of dinner you want in Petra . Ours was so so . We will definitely use Horizon Tours again and reccomend them to our friends .
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review and your willingness to recommend us to your friends. We look forward to welcoming you back to Jordan again in the future

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat cost?
+
Prices start at $682 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 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat take?
+
Plan for about 36 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 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat?
+
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 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 36-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat?
+
Around 1 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 36-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Private Tour to Wadi Rum and Petra from Eilat 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.
