Highly efficient and fast journey with Mahmoud Awad - thank you!
Mahmoud Awad was a superb driver and he made sure that we could have a late departure from Amman (so we could sleep in and rest a little) and we could also see all of Petra properly before reaching Wadi Rum by sunset. He was efficient and safe and fast and suggested good places for us to have coffee and food, besides which, he also organized a very well-priced tour guide to take us around Petra - we really appreciate how helpful he was!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly glad to hear that Mahmoud took great care of you throughout your journey. He is one of our most trusted drivers, and it makes me proud to know he ensured you enjoyed a relaxed morning in Amman, a full experience in Petra, and a smooth arrival to Wadi Rum by sunset. We’re also happy that his recommendations for food and coffee, along with arranging a fairly-priced Petra guide, added real value to your trip. Your comfort and safety are always our top priorities, and it means a lot to us that you felt both. We appreciate you choosing Rushmore, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Jordan. Warm regards, Suhail Ibrahim Founder – Rushmore Transportation & Logistics Services

We had the one day trip to Petra from Amman. Faisal, was an excellent driver, Took care of us at every step. He had bottled water and wi-fi in the car to make the journey pleasant. His English is excellent and we had some great conversations during the journey. We changed our plans part way through the day and he accommodated us joyfully. We stopped for lunch and he helped us select great choices to eat. In fact my daughter is still remembering the great Jordanian food. Visit Petra soon, few tourists so your time will be far better. Request Faisal when you make your reservation, and if you are lucky to get him, your journey will be great.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your trip to Petra and that Faisal made your journey so comfortable and memorable. He truly takes pride in caring for our guests, and your kind words will mean a lot to him. We’re glad you enjoyed the authentic Jordanian food and the special experience of visiting Petra with fewer crowds. We look forward to welcoming you again for more adventures in Jordan. 🌟 Warm regards, Suhail Ibrahim

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Full-Day Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 13 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 Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum?
+
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 Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum?
+
Around 5 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Driver Tour from Amman:Petra or Petra & Wadi Rum 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.
