    What you'll see and do

    1. Petra

      Petra, the Rose-Red City, was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom whose ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer, JL Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the city in 1812. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Meet your private guide at the site and hike or ride a horse down to the entrance of the Siq, a long, winding sandstone canyon that leads to the Treasury. The tour continues to the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater and the Royal Tombs. Note that travel time is 3 hours driving from Amman to Petra and another 3 hours.

    Mixed Bag

    The driver, while very nice, couldn’t really speak English. He was nice and a good driver. It was a very, very long day. I think doing one site OR the other site would be enough for one day.

    Driver wasted time and company not responsive

    They listed a spanish speaker but was not correct, and wasted a lot of time on the road because the driver stopped for breakfast and smoke so it was impossible to do anything besides after Petra. So after Petra he took us back home without any consideration for what we had reserved

    Response from the operator: You already added the same review from one year, you can keep adding the same review like you want

    Scammed

    I LOST MY MONEY BY THE VERY SCAMS THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DESIGNED DURING THE TRIP. The driver will park the car in a parking spot and then a guy walks up to you to take you to the starting point of Petra from the back door through an off road trip of 60 JSD. The actual taxi fare is only 10 jsd. They wont tell you anything about the taxi and still tries to convince you that the off road is the only way to reach there. Then once you take a 2 hour exhaustive mountain climbing and reach back the visitor area, you are forced to return without visiting Wadi Rum properly. No english, No AC in the car. Its all a big scam.

    Response from the operator: Dear Client, Kindly note that you choose to use illegal guide at Petra and it was your mistake, we don't provide or use illegal guides and all our guides have license, and provided the best services, so that's your choice and your mistake

    Had an unforgettable time...

    Had an unforgettable time exploring Petra and Wadi Rum, thanks to Mohammed for making it such a great experience! Petra was absolutely stunning—the walk through the Siq and seeing the Treasury up close was a real highlight. Wadi Rum was just as incredible, with its endless desert landscapes and breathtaking views. Everything was well-organised, and the whole experience felt smooth and enjoyable. Huge thanks to Mohammed for his kindness and expertise—I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jordan!

    Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided 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 Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 3 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided 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 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, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea 4 Days 3 nights. 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.
