About this experience

Enjoy this Petra transportation from Aqaba. You will be picked up from your hotel to start your Petra Transport. After that, you will be transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle for about 2 hours to the rose-red city of Petra. First started in the 6th century B.C. by Nabataean Arabs the city boasts beautiful facades carved directly into the walls of the mountainsides. Arriving at the visitor’s center it’s a 700-meter walk to the Siq entrance which is an impressive 1200 meter long gorge of a kaleidoscope of colors the towers more than 80 meters above you. As you exit the chasm you’re instantly transfixed by the beauty of Petra, chosen as one of the New World Wonders, the place speaks for itself. After your time at Petra, you make your way back through the Siq and head to the car witch will be waiting for you at the entrance parking. Finally, you will be driven back to your hotel in Aqaba.

Trip Aqaba

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our driver and guide Tariq for the wonderful experience during our sightseeing tour. He was extremely professional, punctual, and friendly from the very beginning. Throughout the trip, he made us feel safe and comfortable while driving. The vehicle was always clean and well-maintained, and his driving was smooth and careful. As a guide, he was knowledgeable and passionate about the local attractions. He shared many interesting facts and stories about each place we visited, which made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. He was also very patient, attentive to our needs, and always ready to answer any questions. Thanks to him, we were able to see the most beautiful and important sights without any stress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable driver and an excellent guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

A great stay in Aqaba

Tareq is an exceptional driver and guide! He ensured I had a wonderful experience in Aqaba - bringing me to both local and highly treasured spots and must see attractions along the way. He was attentive and always available. I made a new friend in Jordan. Thank you Tareq for your exceptional service 😊 🙏

Amazing experience with an amazing driver

We had the pleasure to meet Tareq in Jordan who brought us to Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead sea and back to Amman. Friendly and accomodating, we actually felt like at home! He suggested us the best places and spots to visit giving us insights on what's best for our trip. The car was extremely comfortable with wifi connection always with us. Tareq is our first recommendation for any kind of trip in Jordan!

Petra One Day Tour From Aqaba: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Petra One Day Tour From Aqaba cost?

+

Prices start at $250 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 One Day Tour From Aqaba take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 One Day Tour From Aqaba worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 One Day Tour From Aqaba?

+

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 One Day Tour From Aqaba suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Petra One Day Tour From Aqaba?

+

Around 9 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Petra One Day Tour From Aqaba 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 Private Diving Experience in The Heart of Red Sea in Aqaba, 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.
