Petra made Easy
From start to finish it was a delightful adventure. We are met at the port by our friendly, professional and safe driver. Upon reaching Petra we were met by our very informative tour guide. How he managed to keep track of the 6 of us, I don’t know, but he did. He was very aware of our individual needs and abilities. The lunch after the tour was excellent. The roads are not in the best condition and the weather was much cooler than we expected, but the tour exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Kelly & Frank. Viking World Cruise 2022-2023
Response from the operator: Dear Kelly & Frank, Thank you for sharing your experience from your Petra shore excursion. We are delighted that the day exceeded your expectations and that both your driver and Petra guide helped make the journey comfortable, informative, and well paced for your group. It is also lovely to hear that the lunch was a highlight after such a full day of exploring. We truly appreciate you choosing Jordan Horizons Tours during your Viking World Cruise and hope Petra remains one of the memorable stops from your journey. Warm regards, Jordan Horizons Tours Shore Excursions Team

The Lost City Of Petra
Excellent tour and Jordan Horizons were an excellent company to deal with. Their communication was great and always prompt. The bus trip to Petra was smooth and the scenery very interesting, the two hours passed quickly. Our guide was a polite informative young man and Petra was amazing. Anyone considering going to Petra, don't think twice. Just do it, you will regret it if you don't.

Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) cost?
+
Prices start at $321 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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day)?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) 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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day)?
+
Included: Private transportation; English Speaking Guide in the spot at Petra for 2:30 hrs; Petra Entrance Fees; Lunch; and Mineral water on board of the vehicle. Not included: All kinds of tips for the guides & the driver; Horse drawn carriage or camel ride; Travel insurance & Personal expenses; and beverage. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Aqaba.
What languages is Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, German, Russian, English, Italian, French, Hebrew 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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day)?
+
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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port (01 Day) if the weather is bad?
+
