3-Day Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Jerusalem

Tour was cancelled, agreed to refund tour cost, now there's no refund and no contact.

This was the tour that wasn't. Booked this as a follow-on to an Israel trip, then October 2023 happened. Israel tour was cancelled, Abraham Tours was cancelled...not a problem, should get a refund. NOPE!!!! Numerous e-mails back and forth, they said they would issue a refund, it has not happened and now they don't reply to anything. Are they still in business? Are they just keeping the money? Better think 2x or 3x before giving them your money. If they're having problems, the professional thing would be to reply to their clients.

Jordan and Petra exceeded our expectations

Excellent Tour. Our guide and bus driver were great. Abrahams gave us full details of what to expect at the Allenby Boarder. Our guide was informative and answered many of our questions about Jordan in general. It was a young group (excluding ourselves) and we loved it. We had a full day in Petra from 8:00-18:30 with an option to do Petra by night, which some of the group did. I would highly recommend this tour. It worked well to travel into Jordan with Yom Kippur happening in Israel. Food and accommodation were excellent with everything covered in the price.

Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience on our tour. It's great that our guide provided valuable information and answered your questions about Jordan, making the trip informative and enjoyable. We're also glad to hear that the food and accommodation met your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to hosting you on future adventures! Best regards,

Petra Tour 3 days - great experience

Great experience. The tour was very well prepared and executed. The guide (Mahdi) and the driver were both very friendly and professional people. Mahdi's knowledge of Jordan and the history in general is a really strong point. He was always happy to answer all of my questions. The Bedouin's camp was excellent. The food was delicious. We took the standard tent and it was ok. It's crazy hot inside when you arrive the first and second day but each tent has a fan and with the sunset coming up quickly it will cool down. During the night temperature falls so you will need any way one blanket (there are like 3 or 4 per bad). The shared bathroom is very clean and few steps from the tent. Petra in August is doable but take a tone of sunscreen and a hat. Be careful with the locals inside Petra they will gladly rip you off often especially beside the Knazneh. The will propose you to go up to a view point to have a nice view. They will take 10-20 JD and when you get there other will ask you money again and will tell you they don't know the others! Last but not least... Please DO NOT accept any horse ride (even if it is included in your ticket) or donkey. They mistreat animals, make them work all the day in the sun and barely give them any water. I also saw people having the fear of their life on the donkey on the way to the monastery. Anyway the monastery up the hill it's not better than other monuments. If you are not fit to go there by yourself go to see other places on the Petra sita.

Insider tips for a fantastic tour of Petra

Our 3-day tour of Petra was exceptional! The tour guides, drivers, Bedouin camp, food stops were all 5 stars. A few tips I wish I'd known about: 1) The Bedouin camp was amazing. We upgraded to the rooms with A/C and private baths. Even though we were there at the end of June, temps were in the low 60s as soon as the sun went down. No need for A/C, although it was nice to have the private bath. The upgraded tents are next to the dining room, and the basic tents are downhill near the campfire, so if you are traveling with a group, no need to worry about being split up if you choose different levels of accommodation. Everyone eats at the same dining room and hangs out at the same campfire. You can also request a larger tent for families; otherwise, tents accommodate two people. The beds and pillows were awesome, and the private bathroom was stocked with soap, shampoo and body wash. 2) Budget for extra expenses. At Petra, you can pay for a golf cart ride one or both ways through the Siq -- 15 JD one way, 25 JD round trip. You can also hire a mule one or both ways between the Treasury and the restaurant -- about 10 JD. At Wadi Rum, you have the option of taking a camel ride for one segment of the jeep ride through the desert. 15 JD, and totally worth it! We got our JDs in the U.S., but the exchange rate at the Jordanian side of the border was a better deal. 3) Our guide gave us 4 hours of free time in Petra after lunch. Plenty of time to stay with the group in the morning for the tour, enjoy the buffet lunch in the canyon, and then do a long hike on our own before meeting up at 5 p.m. at the bus. Some of our group had just enough time to hike to the Monastery. We took a shorter hike to the caves opposite the theater. Amazing views and easy enough for all ages. My mom and sister were wiped out after lunch, so they took the mule/golf cart option back to the visitor center and spent the afternoon at the free museum.

Would definitely do it again.

This trip was incredible. The tour guide, Abdullah, was extremely kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better tour. The Bedouin camp was amazing. The tours through Petra, Mount Nebo, and Madaba were amazing. I would absolutely do it all over again. If there was any other tour in Jordan that Abdullah was guiding, I would take that too. I honestly wish it was longer.
