    Not as described

    Petra was amazing. Our driver was not great, and arrived late. But the guide we got at Petra was a wealth of knowledge. The tour details said we would have a horse and carriage ride, apparently they have not had this in awhile. Viator needs to update their site and description. It was a very frustrating day as we needed assistance and we could not get any answers. So we ended up riding horses, paid for that and then a golf cart cost $37 each!. The horse ride was high pressure for tips, so $20 each there, it was NOT what we express pr were told we would get included. Disappointed in Viator

    Great Day Tour and Fantastic Guide

    Dahab provided a great day tour from Aqaba and were extremely accomodating when my flight to Aqaba was cancelled and I needed to move the tour back an hour. Our lovely driver was early and efficient, happy to stop for snacks on the long drive to Petra (as we had an early flight and missed breakfast) and found us a brilliant guide on sight. We had a fantastic day and a great experience seeing the spectacular Lost City and I'd recommend Dahab Safari Day Tours to anyone, especially for the price in comparison to competitors.

    Response from the operator: Dear Emma, Thank you so much for sharing your views with Dahab Safari Tours . We are so pleased to see how happy you are with your trip and hopefully we are always up to your expectations. Please accept our sincerest wishes and best regards. Thank you. Dahab Safari Tours Team.

    Petra Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Petra Sightseeing day tour from 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 Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port 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 Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 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 Sightseeing day tour from 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 Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port 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 Sightseeing day tour from 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Petra Sightseeing day tour from 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.

    What is included in Petra Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees to Petra; Lunch; Local English speaking guide in Petra from the entrance to the Treasury ( 2- 3 ) hours ; All transfers by a private air-conditioned vehicle; and Pick up services from Aqaba and return. Not included: Any extras not mentioned above; Tipping; Any Meals or Drinks; and Golf car. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Petra Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port 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 Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Sightseeing day tour from Aqaba port?

    +

    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.
