What a divine day
We had a spectacular day with Ziaza(? Sp) and Achmed our driver. We were picked up on time (turn right out of terminal and go around the cruiseline tour buses) and we had a full 12 hour tour. Our guide recommended (and booked) golf carts for a large number of our party of 14. So glad he did! He also helped us get local currency to pay. We had ample time to visit as far as the theatre then walked back to the Treasury to get our return shuttles. Our next stop was a lovely lunch at the beautiful Petra View Hotel. Buffet style and very nice (drinks not included). Then off to Wadi Rum where we had 2 hours enjoying this beautiful desert - even walked a canyon the Lawrence of Arabia lived in. We had a blast on the back of the Toyota Hilux well side utes. Once we mastered scrambling on board we were away. I am now back on board our cruise ship - exhausted but very happy.
Response from the operator: Dear fishwatcher1, Thank you for sharing such a vivid and joyful review — it truly brought a smile to our faces! We’re delighted to hear your day was so full and memorable, from exploring Petra to experiencing the beauty of Wadi Rum. It sounds like a perfectly balanced adventure, and we’re glad everything ran smoothly, especially with the helpful arrangements along the way. Your kind words about the team mean a lot, and we’re very happy you returned to your cruise with such great memories. We hope to welcome you back again for more discoveries in Jordan. Warm regards, The Team of Jordan Horizons Tours

Petra & Wadi Rum Shore Excursion Aqaba Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Petra & Wadi Rum Shore Excursion Aqaba Port cost?
+
Prices start at $380 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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Shore Excursion Aqaba Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Petra & Wadi Rum 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 & Wadi Rum Shore Excursion Aqaba Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Petra & Wadi Rum 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra & Wadi Rum 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.
