Thank you, Kareem!
This trip involved a lot of bus time, but it’s absolutely worth it. Our guide Kareem did everything possible to make sure we enjoyed the day. He was witty, and very kind. He gave us some history lessons about Jordan, Petra, and the Wadi Rum as well as information regarding modern life in Jordan. You get to see lots of countryside, rolling hills, mountains, small villages, and even larger towns like Aqaba all from the bus, so I really felt like I paid for a full-day Jordan experience with Petra included. Lunch was delicious. The bus drivers made frequent stops for the bathroom, and grabbing a coffee or snack, even souvenirs. Some free snacks were sprinkled in throughout the day. Overall it was just so nice. Learned so much and can’t wait to return to this beautiful country 🇯🇴
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that your tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, was well worth it. It's great to know that your guide, Kareem, made the experience enjoyable with his knowledge and kindness. It sounds like you had a comprehensive and memorable experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Jordan in the future.

Petra great… your poor
Petra was of course great and would give 5 stars for it. But the tour experience was bad and finished worse. Main complaint was until we got to Jordan literally no one spoke to us or told us what was happening. It was impossible to relax the first 8 hours because we changed bus eventually 3 times. Only when we got the guide in Jordan did things improve substantially. On the way back again from the Israeli border no information was given. We got on bus but then we got lost. It took us from 7:30pm from security until 4am to reach the drop off point in tel aviv. At no point did the driver tell us what was happening. We had to show passports at a control point. The drive was terrible we kept braking hard and a couple of near misses with other vehicles. No apology, no expected time to arrive and no reason for the delay. Whenever we stopped on Israeli side we just stopped… never told how long we stop for or if we had time to eat or drink. The whole experience from the Jordanian border was perfect though. Informative and super friendly.
Response from the operator: We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the issues you encountered during the tour. We are pleased to hear that you found Petra to be great but regret that the tour experience fell short of your expectations. We are glad to hear that the experience improved substantially once you reached Jordan, and we will strive to provide a consistent and positive experience from start to finish in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $299 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tel Aviv usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Tel Aviv is not rushed.
Is Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch?
+
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 Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch?
+
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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with FREE Authentic Lunch 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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv?
+
On Outty we rank every Tel Aviv experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Carmel Market Tasting Tour - LocaLocal, Guided Pub Crawl Night Tour at Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv Street Art & Graffiti Tour. 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 Tel Aviv?
+
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 Tel Aviv?
+
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.
