About this experience
We will begin this tour in the morning, departing from the lobby of your Dead Sea Hotel (Jordanian side) and driving down the desert highway for about 3 hours to reach the astonishing site of the rock city of Petra. The stunning rose-red city of Petra, the crown jewel of Jordan, sits 240 km south of the vibrant capital, Amman. Established around the 6th century B.C. by the adventurous Nabataean Arabs, this nomadic tribe transformed the area into a bustling hub of commerce that stretched as far as Syria. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on a thrilling horseback journey into the enchanting Siq canyon, followed by a delightful stroll to the breathtaking Treasury monument. You’ll also encounter other remarkable sights, including the charming Street of Facades, the impressive Royal Tombs, and the fascinating Pharaoh’s Castle. Plus, it’s worth noting that Petra has earned its place as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World!

Full-Day Private Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Full-Day Private Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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 Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea 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 Amman is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Private Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 19 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 Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea?
+
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 Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea?
+
Around 7 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Tour to Petra from the Dead Sea 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.
