    Disappointed

    This was supposed to be a private tour but we were uncomfortably joined by another couple causing a seating problem. Our driver spoke a VERY limited English and tried to get another $60 dollars to take us to wadi run on the way back. The full day tour was 7 hours. The time at Petra was very rushed. The buffet lunch was excellent but the ladies room was dirty

    Petra accessible tour

    Early and fast driver picked us up at the port and we went to Petra and were able to get a golf cart before the crowds came and toured with a very knowledgeable and good guide who helped us take great pictures. We were able to get back to the ship for lunch.

    Petra is wonderful.

    Our driver Omar was so nice, personable, and thoughtful. Petra is so interesting but wow, lots of people. So happy we had a golf cart!!

    Wonderful

    Everything was smooth and on time. The driver had a wonderful car and made sure the next part was ready when we arrived at Petra.

    Fantastic trip

    A very well organised trip. Really friendly, helpful driver and a knowledgeable guide. Lunch was good too. Trip was expensive but a one off and well worth the extra cost to avoid the 30+ coaches. Highly recommend.

    Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $449 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 Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 11 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 Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour?

    +

    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 Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aqaba Shore Excursion: Private accessible Petra Tour 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.
