On our short stop in Amman we did this tour to Petra and the Dead Sea. This excursion was absolutely amazing!!! Bardaghawi was our guide. He was very polite and professional, ensured that we were comfortable. The Dead Sea was absolutely my favorite part but the whole tour was definitely 10/10. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

Petra and the Dead Sea spa
We had a long drive from Oman to Petra but our tour guide was amazing. We stopped at a beautiful market for coffee and souvenirs. We arrived to Petra, he passed us on to the Petra tour guide. Perfect and so cool! I advise to get the golf cart, it’s worth it ! We then made our way ri the Dead Sea. It was so nice on a hot day. I put the clay all over me and floated in the Dead Sea. We enjoyed the pools for awhile and made our way back. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing R&H VIP Transportation Services for your Petra and Dead Sea day tour from Amman.

Your tip about the golf cart at Petra is very helpful for future travelers too. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and the trust you placed in us.

What a scam. So many additional charges.
First, after purchasing the excursion, i got a notification that we would have to pay $15 USD additional as the price had changed. Then the excursion was canceled. I had to rebook, which ended up being with the exact same company, and we had to pay $37 USD more. There is not enough time to go to Petra. We bought tickets for 50 JOD each in addition to the cost of the excursion and got to see nothing. That was the main reason that i booked this tour. I gave notice several days before that we were three women with three large suitcases and three carryons. The guide showed up with a tiny car and then was rude about it. He almost made us wait two hours for a van to arrive. We went to the first destination and while we were there a van arrived and we switched our luggage. But we were charged 60 JOD additional, and the guide, Ibrahim, was extremely grumpy and rude. One of the lunches was supposed to be included in the price, but we still had to pay additional money for food at each location.
Response from the operator: We take all feedback seriously, but we must address the serious mischaracterization of our business as a "scam" and clarify the facts of your trip for the record. 1. Vehicle & Luggage Safety: We have submitted photos to TripAdvisor showing the luggage situation at pickup. For a group of 3 adults, you arrived with significantly more luggage than a standard sedan can physically carry. The trunk would not close, and blocking the rear view or piling hard suitcases on passengers in a sedan is a major safety violation. The 60 JOD charge was for a last-minute upgrade to a MiniVan—a much larger vehicle—which we arranged immediately to ensure your group could travel safely. You agreed to this upgrade on-site. 2. Inclusions: Your ticket explicitly states that the "Dead Sea Fees" option includes entry and lunch at the Dead Sea resort. This was provided at the 5-star Crowne Plaza Resort. The ticket also clearly lists "Meals" (breakfast or snacks at other stops) and "Petra Entry Fees" as Exclusions. We did not charge you for anything that was listed as included. 3. Third-Party Booking Fees: Any price changes or cancellations that occurred prior to the tour date were handled by the booking platform (Viator/TripAdvisor), not by us directly. We fulfilled the booking request we received. We strive for transparency. Calling a safety upgrade for excessive luggage a "scam" is unfair to our staff who worked hard to accommodate your group's needs on a busy holiday schedule.

A Truly Wonderful Experience
Visiting Petra was an unforgettable journey into history and beauty. From the moment we met our driver Mr. Bader, enter through the Siq, the narrow canyon leading to the iconic Treasury, the sense of awe is overwhelming. Donkey ride to the Monastery was amazing. The intricate carvings, the vibrant colors of the sandstone, and the sheer scale of the ancient city make it a destination like no other. Every stop—from the Royal Tombs to the Monastery—offered breathtaking views and photo opportunities. What made the experience truly special was our vehicle diver Mr. Bader. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and educated us on Jordanian history, culture, and natural beauty. The warm hospitality of the locals/Bedouin was amazing, especially Um Jawad.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review! We're delighted you had an unforgettable time exploring Petra and the Dead Sea. It's great to hear that Mr. Bader contributed to making your trip special through his knowledge, hospitality, and insights into Jordanian culture and history. We're also pleased you felt welcomed by the locals, especially Um Jawad. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and look forward to hosting you again on another adventure soon!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman cost?
+
Prices start at $53 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 Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 37 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 Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman?
+
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 and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman 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 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman?
+
Around 13 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra and the Dead Sea Day Tour From Amman 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.
