    What you'll see and do

    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 back.

    A Perfect Family Day Trip to Petra — From the Airport and Back

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Tour Experts on our family day trip to Petra. What made it even more impressive was that everything was arranged around our airport schedule, allowing us to visit one of Jordan’s most incredible places and return to the airport smoothly — all in one day. From the very beginning, the organization was excellent. The team planned everything so carefully and made sure the timing worked perfectly. We didn't have to worry about transportation, timing, or the details of the day. We could simply enjoy the experience with our family. A special thank you to our wonderful driver, Rafat. He was professional, friendly, patient, and extremely helpful throughout the journey. He made the long drive comfortable, kept everything running on schedule, and made sure our family had everything we needed. We also want to give a huge thank you to our guide, Ahmad, who made our visit to Petra so much more interesting. His knowledge, explanations, and enthusiasm brought the ancient city to life. Instead of simply walking around and looking at the ruins, we understood the history and stories behind what we were seeing. What impressed us most was how Rafat and Ahmad worked together so perfectly. The entire day felt organized, relaxed, and effortless. Even though we had a limited amount of time, we never felt unnecessarily rushed. The team at Tour Experts deserves a lot of credit for arranging such a well-planned family experience. Coordinating a Petra visit between airport arrival and departure is not an easy task, but they managed every detail beautifully. From the airport to Petra and back to the airport, everything went exactly as planned. We are very grateful to Rafat, Ahmad, and the entire Tour Experts team for making our family’s short visit to Jordan such a memorable one. If you have a long layover or limited time in Jordan and want to experience Petra, this is a fantastic way to do it. Perfect organization, wonderful people, and an unforgettable family experience.

    Petra Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Petra 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 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 Private Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 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 Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Petra 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 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 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 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 Private Guided Tour?

    +

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

    Does Petra Private Guided Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    +
