Thank you very much, Jordan horizon tours
Extremely well organised tour, conducted by a private driver/organiser who was very gentle with our 3 yo old twin. His suggestion of having a jeep ride to wadi rum was very much appreciated. After the beautiful but very touristic visit to Petra, the drive through the desert and visiting places we didn’t realise that they existed, realy topped it off

Impressive Visit
We recently did a day long shore excursion from Aqaba to Petra and then Wadi Rum. Our driver, Mr. Mohammed Hammad, was exceptional! Our ship arrived two hours late but he was still there waiting our arrival. He took some shortcuts on the way to Petra to save time and get us ahead of all the big bus tours. Once at Petra he introduced us to our local guide and we then spent about 4 hours exploring the impressive Petra. Mohammed had given us a phone so we could contact him when we were ready to be picked up which worked out very well. He also picked up lunch that we ate in the car to he make up some of the time we had lost due to our ship being late. We got to Wadi Rum in time for some touring and sunset. It was a magical day and Jordan Horizons and Mr. Mohammed made it all possible. Who highly recommend both of them!

Just wanted to mention how professional the communication with this company has been since our initial inquiry about the tour. Look forward to visiting Jordan and Petra when we can reschedule the cruise and re book our tour with JHT.

Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port cost?
+
Prices start at $320 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 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 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?
+
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 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?
+
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 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.

Not included: All kinds of tips for the guides & the driver; Horse drawn carriage or camel ride; Beverages at the restaurant; and Travel insurance & Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Petra Shore Excursion Aqaba Port?
+
The Driver will wait you in the front of the ship cruise ship with sign by your name to recognize each other Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
