Spectacular Visit of Petra and Wadi Rum
Absolutely wonderful tour visiting Petra and Wadi Rum with Khalid Najjar. First of all, we can not thank him enough for his kindness and hospitality––ensuring that we were comfortable and happy with our tour. He made a few extra special stops with gorgeous views of Wadi Mousa (Petra). He was an amazing tour guide and ensured our safety with each stretch of drive. I will absolute be looking for him upon my return to Jordan with more family members. Our trip also included the 4x4 open-back truck ride across Wadi Rum, an amazing private guide at Petra, and an absolutely delicious lunch with Khalid where we feasted on Mansaf and Knafeh (the Knafeh was a special treat for my mother's celebration of her birthday). Thank you to Khalid and all that made this trip extra special.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Sergio, for your wonderful review and for choosing R&H VIP Transportation Services! We’re delighted to hear that your tour of Petra and Wadi Rum with Khalid Najjar was absolutely wonderful, and that his kindness, hospitality, and attention to your comfort and safety made your day so special.

Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Jordan with R&H VIP Transportation Services.

We had an amazing full-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum with Ibrahim, and it was truly unforgettable. Ibrahim is extremely professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. He made the entire journey smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish. He explained the history of Petra in a very interesting way and gave us plenty of time to explore without rushing. In Wadi Rum, he made sure we experienced the true beauty of the desert and took great care of every detail. Ibrahim is also very friendly and respectful, making us feel safe and relaxed throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a reliable, well-organized, and memorable tour in Jordan, I highly recommend Ibrahim. You won’t be disappointed!

Overall enjoyable
Abed the driver was great - very smooth trip and was very comfortable. Great tour guides in Petra and Wadi rum … tickets and booking was not very clear as it said when we booked that all entries were included (as we booked the all inclusive one which was $955 aus for the 2 of us) yet we were told wadi rum entry was not included, so our driver very kindly still got us the entry tickets as we had thought they were apart of the tour. Also lunch was not included which we were slightly surprised due to the price of the tour, but altogether very much still enjoyed our time and seeing these incredible places.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for highlighting both the positives and the areas for improvement. We're pleased to hear that Abed was a great driver and that you enjoyed the guides in Petra and Wadi Rum. We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding the inclusions and the lunch. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will review our communication to make future bookings clearer for our guests. We're glad you still enjoyed these amazing destinations and hope to welcome you again for even better experiences!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Petra and Wadi Rum One Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Petra and Wadi Rum One Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 One Day Tour 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 One Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 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 Wadi Rum One Day Tour?
+
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 Wadi Rum One Day Tour 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 One Day Tour?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra and Wadi Rum One Day Tour 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.
