What you'll see and do
Petra
the driver pick you up from the hotel, port, border and airport then transfer for 2 hours to Petra, arrival to the visitor center and start the guided tour You would start from Petra visitor center where you could or more should use facilities there because you spend long till next proper bathroom. From there you will have your tickets and your local guide passing the gate in your way down to Siq (narrow gorge) you will see Dijon blocks and big monument of Obelisks tomb. The most amazing will walk through the narrow gorge of Siq extended for more than one kilometer with its beautiful different colors and really rock formations. The most amazing and breathtaking moment when you will meet the most famous facade of Petra, the treasury where you spend about 20 minutes enjoying that massive monument and taking pictures. Then you would continue down through Facades Street or facade to tombs with different sizes and steps to the high place of sacrifice. Few minutes after you will see the main theater of Petra carved out of rocks while on the other side you will see caves carved out of rocks with their colorful ceiling. Next to the theater few you will see Collection of Royal Tombs which could be one of hiking options in the way back. Then you will find yourself in the Roman area which includes Nephewuim , colonnaded street and remains of temples ( great temple and winged lions temple) beside Byzantine churches that would end the low tour with Kaser albent the free standing building only left. That could take around 2:5 hours then you will have time to make your way back to visitors center and you have time and energy you could go in 2 hours both ways hiking up to The Monastery which comes after the treasury for its beauty. The way back to the gate (visitor's center) could take about 1:5 hours transfer to the restaurant for lunch time.

Good for the view, animal rides not advised.
Although everyone is really enthusiastic. I would like to mention that it is heartbreaking to see that the animals are getting abused. The tourists are traveling with the camels and donkeys and horses and by dping that, everyone is supporting animal abuse. They are not even getting proper food and water. The view is nice and all, but not the fact that te camels are being abused. Please people! Be aware of this fact and do your research before paying for animal abuse. Maybe then something will change in this world.

We visited Petra on a day tour from Eilat
I booked my tour from the US. The staff at Echo tours were very helpful and responsive. Our tour went very smooth and without any problems. Ali was out tour guide and he was excellent. Had a lot of knowledge and kept us engaged. The transportation to Petra and back was excellent and uneventful. I recommend Echo tours without any reservations.

Petra & Wadi Rum - One day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Petra & Wadi Rum - One day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $330 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 & Wadi Rum - One day tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 & Wadi Rum - One day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Petra & Wadi Rum - One day 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 - One day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Petra & Wadi Rum - One day tour?
+
Around 11 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra & Wadi Rum - One day 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 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.
