    Petra & Wadi Rum adventure

    Our trip to Jordan was truly outstanding and we had an amazing driver Aladdin, who picked us up from Amman airport and took us to Petra and back. He was super friendly and drove us to all of our activities and organized everything, so we didn't have to lift a finger! We loved exploring Petra with a guide (our hotel was across the street) and we took a 4X4 ride in the back of a truck in Wadi Rum, where we learned how to make natural soap from desert plants with a Bedouin guide. The sand was so beautiful and our guide took us to various parts of Wadi Rum where they filmed Star Wars, the Martian, and other movies. Highly recommend Jordan Horizon Tours and especially Aladdin for anyone visiting Jordan. We found it lovely and completely safe!

    Response from the operator: Dear C5035PUjamest, Thank you for sharing such a fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear your trip was so memorable and that everything ran smoothly from arrival to departure. Aladdin will be especially happy to know he made your journey easy and enjoyable — taking care of the details so you can simply relax is exactly what we aim for. It’s great that you experienced both the magic of Petra and the unique beauty of Wadi Rum, especially with those special local moments. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Jordan. Best regards, The Team of Jordan Horizons Tours

    An incredible few days

    JHT was great to work with. From Aida with the planning to Hisham with the transport and Sami our guide in Petra, everything was a pleasure and buttoned up. We began in Amman and made our way down the King's Highway with stops along the way. Aida was quite receptive to sites my wife and I wanted to stop at along the way, so that made everything easy. If you're headed to Petra, Sami is the guide you need! Do not be hesitant in booking a trip to Jordan. The people could not have been kinder. You'll make memories for life!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your trip with Aida, Hisham, and Sami was a memorable experience. It’s great to know that our team helped make your journey along the King's Highway enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to Jordan soon for more adventures! Best Regards; Jordan Horizons Tours (JHT) Jordan - Amman

    A great company to da business with.

    This will be a strange review since our tour had to be cancelled. We booked a day trip to Petra through Jordan Horizons Tours as part of a port call while on a cruise. The agent at Jordan Horizons Tours was wonderful in booking the tour and communicating information, very helpful. They stayed in touch with us when events in the Middle East caused our cruise line to cancel our port call just about 10 days prior to arrival. Jordan Horizons Tours provided a full refund within 24 hours of being notified of the cancellation. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Jordan Horizons Tours and hope that one day we will be able to get to Jordan and tour Petra with them.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and understanding! We're glad our team could assist you effectively, even though your tour was canceled. We hope to welcome you to Jordan and show you the beauty of Petra in the future. Best Regards; Jordan Horizons Tours (JHT) Jordan - Amman

    Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.

    How much does Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman cost?

    +

    Prices start at $374 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 Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman 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 Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman 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 Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip from Amman?

    +

    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 Petra and Wadi Rum Day Trip 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, 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.
