Simply Amazing!
Our driver, Munther, made this entire experience well worth it and very enjoyable. We knew it would be a long day to begin with but his pleasant demeanor and enjoyable conversation made the long ride back and forth between Amman, Petra, and Wadi Rum enjoyable. The sites themselves were amazing. Our local tour guide in Petra was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire tour seemed more like friends hanging out and sharing insights vice “being paid for a service”. Wadi Rum was also very much worth the trip! We didn’t want to do the jeep tour initially, but with Munther’s suggestion, we opted for it and LOVED it!! Def must do. Overall, from Munther’s initial contact to confirm meeting time and place, to being dropped back off at our hotel - and even despite the very long day with a toddler, this entire tour was just simply amazing!
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing ZTT and for this amazing review of your stay. I hope you can post this review on our TripAdvisor page to share with more travelers.

Even though we could not make it to radi rum which was included in the package due to some fixing in Petra by the government we love the tour and our driver.

Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman cost?
+
Prices start at $267 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 Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 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 last minute in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman?
+
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 Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman?
+
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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman 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.
