    Perfect family adventure

    Our family had a fantastic experience exploring Petra and Wadi Rum with our driver, Mohammad Ali. The vehicle was spacious, spotless, and well-stocked with water, ensuring a comfortable ride throughout. Mohammad is a genuine person who speaks excellent English, making the journey truly pleasant. Our itinerary included a local guide in Petra and a jeep tour in Wadi Rum; both were exceptional, especially when it came to capturing great photos for us! We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and highly recommend both this company and Mohammad Ali

    2-in-1 : two great sites in one day

    We really enjoyed our trip to Petra and Wadi Rum. While Petra definitely worth spending more time (we had about 2.5 hours there), it was enough to see main points and get a good view of the place and its history. We booked a guide and he was very knowledgeable pointing out interesting details. We were lucky both with the weather and also having very few people on site. Wadi Rum had good views but not as impressive as we expected. If you don’t have much time in Jordan, doing this trip in one day makes a lot of sense, although it is physically strenuous. We do recommend this company, our driver was helpful and friendly and the car was comfortable.

    Best Experience - Thank You

    I booked this trip on short notice, and the operator provided the details just a day in advance. Our driver, Majdi, was extremely punctual, arriving early to pick us up. Although we were delayed while grabbing breakfast, he waited patiently. Throughout the journey, Majdi shared interesting information about the famous landmarks we passed and made stops at rest areas so we could freshen up. The car was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with water bottles, tissue napkins, and other essentials. Majdi ensured a smooth and efficient journey to Petra and Wadi Rum, even offering to take our photos at scenic spots. His warm and considerate nature truly enhanced our experience. Towards the end of the trip, he treated us to the famous Jordanian kunafa, which was a delightful touch. People like Majdi make a trip truly memorable. A big thank you to the tour operator and a special appreciation to Majdi for his exceptional hospitality!

    A MUST DO WHILE IN JORDAN!

    This experience was unbelievable. The boys that run this are so welcoming and hospitable, our driver went above and beyond to ensure the best experience for us. The tour guide in Wadi Rum was a fun character who made the experience enjoyable. He even had us do a little photo shoot in the middle of the desert.. Amazing experience 10/10

    Petra & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Petra & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $419 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 & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour) take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 119 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 & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private 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 & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Petra & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour)?

    +

    Around 42 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Petra & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private 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 & Wadi Rum (1 Day Private tour)?
