    Exceptional experience with Ibrahim, the best driver in Jordan!

    We spent three wonderful days traveling around Jordan with Ibrahim, and we highly recommend him. From the very beginning, Ibrahim showed incredible kindness , always smiling, helpful, and attentive to all our needs. During the trip, we changed our plans several times, but he never hesitated to adapt, always finding solutions with great professionalism and flexibility. Moreover, when we had a small problem, he was the first person to step in and help us without hesitation, showing not only professionalism but also genuine care. Ibrahim is a reliable, tireless person and truly extremely kind. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy Jordan with complete peace of mind. We absolutely recommend taking a tour with Ibrahim to anyone who wants to discover this beautiful country in the best possible way. Lorenzo 27/02/2026

Your high recommendation and detailed feedback mean a lot to us, and we will be sure to share your kind words with Ibrahim. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Jordan.

    3-Day Fast Tour to Petra, Wadi Rum and Dead Marble Hike

    Great service, we were guaranteed punctuality and accuracy, right stops during transfers. Also, for business reasons we were anxious about poor Wi-Fi connection that was guaranteed to us at best by the driver. Attentive and cared for service, respecting everything that has been agreed. Especially when time is paramount, using a professional service guarantees the success of a beautiful holiday.

    Response from the operator: La ringraziamo di cuore per la splendida recensione e per aver scelto R&H VIP Transportation Services per il suo tour di 3 giorni a Petra, Wadi Rum e Mar Morto. Siamo molto felici che abbia apprezzato la puntualità, la precisione e le soste durante i trasferimenti, e soprattutto che il nostro autista sia riuscito a garantirle una buona connessione Wi‑Fi, permettendole di gestire al meglio i suoi impegni di lavoro senza preoccupazioni. Ci fa davvero piacere sapere che il nostro servizio attento e curato abbia contribuito alla riuscita della sua vacanza e che tutto sia stato svolto come concordato, ottimizzando al massimo il tempo a disposizione. Grazie ancora per aver condiviso la sua esperienza e per la fiducia riposta in noi. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in Giordania per altre bellissime esperienze.

    Mars on Earth!

    We stood awed by a sandstone landscape sculpted by billions of years of air and water and then, quite recently (only two thousand years back!), by the water technology of the Nabataeans. From Amman to the last but final stop, we completed a special time and planet-transcending journey when we returned to the airport to look at the Martian rover that Matt Damon used in the film Martian. Let me list the cash-saving tips for you first: 1) Take the Jordan pass before you pay for the visa so that it is cost-effective. Jordan Pass handles visa fees and passes at most places except Petra and Mount Nebo.  2) Do not exchange currency at Amman airport: they have terrible exchange rates and fees. Currency exchanges at Amman are okay. Indians won't be able to transfer money from India to Jordan through Western Money transfer for some reason. So, exchange dollars or euros at Amman.  3) If you want to visit Petra for two days, you could do that on two consecutive days by paying an extra 5 JD on top of the 50 JD first-day charge. You can make that payment the second day after informing them on the first day.  Hotels we stayed: Thousand nights (first day) at Amman and the Regency (last day). One of the rooms at the first hotel was a smoking room, and a few calls were required to get it changed.  Petra Castle at Wadi Musa, built early on, is one of the oldest hotels in the region. But it does not have room service at night. The Moses's Spring is just opposite this hotel, which I found out when I ventured out thirsty at 2 am in search of water bottles in the store next to the hotel. One will quickly realise that water is still the most precious resource in Jordan, especially when you have climbed to the top of the Monastery at Petra after an unscheduled, rapid disembarkment from the donkey's back (My donkey was cranky. I almost fell off, so I decided to use my own legs instead.).  The Movenpick, right in front of the Petra entry point, would have been a far better option, said our resourceful English-speaking tour guide, Mr Shadi, who took us in his fabulous, safe (all six seat-belts) Wifi-enabled SUV, to all the key places. The ice box in the back kept the water bottles chilled. We returned to Petra on the second day to climb to the High Place of Sacrifice. That was quite an effort for the usually sedentary four of us, but the kids were sprightly on their feet. Mr. Shadi also took us to the Dead Sea and the Wadi Musa. He told us innumerable anecdotes, snippets of history, and tales of how Jordanians welcomed the Syrians as brothers (during the refugee crisis) on the way to these places. Did you know that before 2013 (or so), Jordanians could put a roof over four walls and then claim any government land? You find many such unoccupied houses in the vast plains.  Thanks to his recommendations, we could squeeze into the Ajloun castle to observe the stunning views of the Jordanian valley and a tiny bit of Jerasch (the best preserved Roman city outside of Rome) on the last day. Thank you, Shadi, if you are reading this. Dead Sea tip: Take your goggles! That 33% neutrally buoyant brine will take you to a new level of pain when it gets into the eyes. You will want to spend hours under the sun covered with black clay. The temperature climbs rapidly while the humidity drops as we descend to the Dead Sea - so stay hydrated! Petra is unimaginably huge, and the way the Treasury ('Al-Khazneh', carved into the stone by the Nabaraeans in the 1st century CE)  suddenly reveals itself between the cracks of the sandstone mountains is spectacular.  People take tons of photographs there! Have a wide-brimmed hat to beat the sun. The winds are cold; one would hardly sweat even when climbing the hills as the humidity is so low. A good pair of shoes helps, too, as the rocks and pebbles are slippery.  The Citadel at Amman is special because it is one of the few places with continuous human occupation from the Bronze Age (1800 BCE). The ruins of the temple of Hercules tower over the area. Jordan Archeological Museum - the trepaned skull, the bottles to collect the tears, and the infant skeleton will catch your eye. Burials and rituals associated with it and sculptures for those were ingrained into most societies. Foods to try:  Mansaaf, Falafel, Shwarma, Foul. Do not order anything at the restaurants without a menu that you may find on the way to Petra: they will charge you heavily at the time of billing!  P.S.: I'll add a few photographs later.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are absolutely delighted to hear about your amazing experience with our service. Your thoughtful feedback really uplifts our team, and we can't wait to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit!

    Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery cost?

    +

    Prices start at $261 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 & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery?

    +

    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 & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery?

    +

    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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery 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 & Dead Sea: 3 Day Discovery?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Entry Fees & Local guide at Petra ( If selected ); Licensed English-speaking driver; Wadi Rum Accommodation (If All Inclusive selected); and Jeep safari ride 4x4 (if selected).
