    1. Petra

      Petra, the Rose-Red City, was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom whose ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer, JL Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the city in 1812. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Meet your private guide at the site and hike or ride a horse down to the entrance of the Siq, a long, winding sandstone canyon that leads to the Treasury. The tour continues to the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater and the Royal Tombs. Note that travel time is 3 hours driving from Amman to Petra and another 3 hours.

    Great day

    I had an amazing one-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum with Tour Experts. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the trip smooth and stress-free. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating insights about the history and culture of both destinations. Petra was absolutely breathtaking, and Wadi Rum's stunning desert landscapes were unforgettable. The transportation was comfortable, the schedule was well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. I highly recommend Tour Experts to anyone visiting Jordan. Their professionalism, excellent service, and attention to detail made this a truly memorable experience. Thank you for an incredible day!

    Exceptional Tour

    I booked a one-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, and it was an unforgettable experience! What made the tour even more special was the jeep safari and dinner in Wadi Rum. The tour was perfect—neither rushed nor too slow I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jordan. It’s a fantastic way to two of the best sites in Jordan in one day

    Disorganized and Rushed.. misleading generic feedback.

    Terrible overall experience. Our driver, Waleed, arrived late to pick us up from the hotel, which threw the entire schedule off and made the tour rushed and stressful. When we tried calling their office for help, no one answered. After being picked up 40 minutes late, we had a 3-hour drive to Petra. Once there, we had to buy our own tickets since they weren’t included in the tour price. We joined the guide, who seemed in a hurry to finish as quickly as possible. He rushed us every time we tried to stop for pictures. I understand that we left Amman late because of the driver, but we still wanted to enjoy the little time we had and capture some memories. When we were done with the guide, we headed back to the visitor center and messaged Waleed to pick us up. By then, we were starving and had to stop for lunch, which ate into our time for Wadi Rum. Once we got there, we had to pay for the Jeep tour and admission separately. Because of all the delays, we barely had an hour-long tour, and the sun set halfway through. Waleed didn’t seem bothered by the situation, even though his delay was the main cause of our stressful day. His only comment was, “It’s a long drive, and the day is short in winter.” While I get that, the lack of organization and time management on their part was unacceptable. To top it off, not a single apology was offered. In hindsight, trusting their feedback number was a mistake. I should’ve paid more attention to the reviews beforehand, which I now see were full of generic, meaningless comments. Be cautious and read reviews carefully before booking.

    Response from the operator: Dear Ahmed, we know that you didn't book with us or use our services, and we also know for who you are working, so please make sure that you will see our response soon.

    Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Private Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Private Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Private Guided 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 Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided 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.

    What is included in Petra and Wadi Rum Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Tip for driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
