Bucket list ticked off!!
Had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour. I had the pleasure of being driven by Bardaghawi, who was knowledgable, friendly and genuine. He made the 15 hour tour very enjoyable. My guide at Petra, Sam, was very kind and knowledgeable and helped me take great photos! The entire trip was surreal, seeing Petra and the desserts of Wadi Rum was truly incredible. If you're in the country, definitely book this tour and ask for Bardaghawi!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had a surreal and incredible experience exploring Petra and the beautiful deserts of Wadi Rum. A 15-hour tour is a long day, so we are especially glad that Bardaghawi’s friendly and genuine nature made the drive so enjoyable! We are also delighted that Sam provided such knowledgeable guidance and helped capture those great photos at Petra. We will be sure to pass your high praise along to both of them. Thank you for highly recommending our tour, and we hope to welcome you back to Jordan in the future!

Full Day Private Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Full Day Private Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum cost?
+
Prices start at $94 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 Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum 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 Private Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 279 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Private Trip To 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 Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum 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 Private Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum?
+
Around 98 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 Private Trip To 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, 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.
