From Aqaba to Petra to Amman
JHT did a GREAT job of showing us Jordan. We went from the Cruise Port in Aqaba to Petra to our hotel in Amman.; all in one day. The booking process was quickly, smoothly, and expertly handled by Basma. She arranged for us to be picked up shipside by Abed, our driver, who did an excellent job. He was quite attentive and engaging. He drove us to Petra, where we had an excellent private tour by Sami -- he is highly recommended by us. Abed then drove us from Petra to Amman. While the trip was expensive, we believe we got great value for our money.
Response from the operator: Thank you Jon for the kind words and encouraging feedback, we are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your experience traveling with us! On behalf of my self, Abed, Sami and the entire JHT team we thank you for taking the time to review our service and we certainly look forward to hearing from you again! Thanks, Basma H. JHT team

Petra Day trip from Aqaba City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Petra Day trip from Aqaba City cost?
+
Prices start at $308 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aqaba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Petra Day trip from Aqaba City 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 Aqaba is not rushed.
Is Petra Day trip from Aqaba City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Petra Day trip from Aqaba City?
+
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 Day trip from Aqaba City 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 Day trip from Aqaba City?
+
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 Aqaba 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 Aqaba and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra Day trip from Aqaba City 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 Aqaba 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 Aqaba?
+
On Outty we rank every Aqaba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4x4 Full-Day Desert Tour, Wadi Rum Full Day Jeep Tour + Overnight & Dinner in Bedouin Camp, Diving, Snorkeling & Leisure Cruises by Boat. 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 Aqaba?
+
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 Aqaba?
+
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 Day trip from Aqaba City?
+
Included: Guide Speaking English for 02.30 hrs (Local Guide in Petra); Lunch at local restaurant in Wadi Musa (My Mom Recipe Or Al Qantara Restaurants ); Entrance fee /ticket : Petra; Mineral water on board of the vehicle; and All transfers by brand-new car with English Speaking Driver (assistant driver). Not included: All kinds of tips for the guides & the driver; Horse drawn carriage or camel ride; Travel insurance & Personal expenses; and Drinks at Petra Restaurant. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Petra Day trip from Aqaba City include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 119 listed pickup locations in and around Aqaba. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Petra Day trip from Aqaba City offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, German, Russian, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Petra Day trip from Aqaba City?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Petra Day trip from Aqaba City wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
