The BEST way to experience Jordan!
I met many incredible people during my time in Jordan, but Iyad stood out for both his kindness and professionalism. As a solo female traveler, I was unsure what to expect when I arrived in Jordan, but Iyad made me feel comfortable and at ease from the start. From getting me coffee in the morning, to recommending local guides, to making sure I got checked into my hotel okay, he treated me not just like a customer, but like a friend. Iyad is also incredibly knowledgeable about Jordan, and one of my favorite parts of the trip was the little surprise stops he made along the way at scenic viewpoints and places like the old Ottoman train station. I ended up seeing far more of Jordan than I ever expected, and Iyad was a huge part of what made the trip so memorable.

I will personally recommend him to my family and friends
I found Iyad through a YouTube video and also saw him recommended in a Facebook group, which made me feel confident booking with him. From the beginning his communication was excellent. He suggested wonderful places to visit and provided helpful recommendations that made my trip even better. A few days before my travel date he confirmed our plans, which gave me real peace of mind about my airport pickup. For the five days we hired him, he drove us from Amman to Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, and back to the airport. He greeted me warmly on arrival and was always punctual and reliable throughout the trip. He drove me everywhere I planned to go and introduced me to places I would never have discovered on my own. He’s a very safe driver, his car is clean and comfortable, and he was consistently friendly and attentive the entire time. He also offered little bottles of water which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Iyad to solo travellers and couples alike you’ll feel completely safe and well taken care of in his car.

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Driver in Jordan
Iyad was our driver for two days in Jordan, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He was reliable, professional, and very flexible, always adjusting easily to our plans and knowledgeable about the country. Iyad is also a really nice and friendly person, which made the long drives enjoyable. The car was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and we always felt very professional and safe on the road. We really appreciated his knowledge and helpful attitude and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Jordan.

The best decision we made in Jordan! Iyad didn’t just drive us, he made our entire trip unforgettable!
What can I say except how lucky we were to find Iyad! We booked our holiday just one week before flying to Jordan, very much on the fly, and did some heavy YouTube research to get an idea of what to expect. We came across the ‘Tom and Nikki Travel’ vlog, which was so helpful, and that’s where we found Iyad! Before we even met him, he was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp, answering every question and suggesting the perfect itinerary for our six-day trip. He helped us avoid costly mistakes and honestly made us even more excited to visit. I was genuinely looking forward to meeting him. One thing to know is that there are many drivers in Jordan, especially if you’ve ventured in the Facebook groups you'll know this. Iyad is fully licensed and insured to carry foreigners. Yes, it is more of an investment to hire someone properly licensed, but this is not the place to cut corners! We considered renting a car and doing it ourselves, but the stress of navigating, dealing with police checks and staying alert driving while trying to enjoy a holiday just didn’t feel worth it. Once you factor in fuel, insurance and the stress, there really is not much difference. Iyad met us at the airport with a big smile, a spotless car, great air con, clean leather seats and ample space for us and our luggage. A brilliant first impression! From the very beginning he was there to help. I needed to exchange money on arrival and he drove us around town to find the best rates and helped with translation in the shops – we immediately felt looked after. We had booked transport from Amman Airport to our hotel, then to Wadi Rum, then Petra, then the Dead Sea and back to Amman. I expected a simple A to B service. I was so wrong! Iyad stayed in local hotels close to us so if you want to go out in the evenings you can - he happily took us anywhere local at any time. No extra charge! This made exploring in the evenings and going out for dinner so easy and comfortable. We never once opened the Uber app! We also bolted on an extra sightseeing day in Amman at the end which was fantastic. Do not overlook the capital! It is somewhere I will revisit and spend a good 2 to 3 days next time. Iyad always chose the most scenic routes and showed us parts of Jordan we would never have discovered ourselves. We drove along winding mountain roads with views that rivaled New Zealand’s South Island. Absolutely jaw dropping! He took us to the pink lakes, well off the beaten path. We were not sure if we could fit it in, but he made it happen! Ask him anything about the culture, people or history and he will either know the answer or find out for you. With Iyad you are not just booking a driver. You are booking a safe and spotless ride, local knowledge and the kindest, most genuine person. He invited us to tea several times throughout our road trip where we would stop to enjoy the views. He also knows the best photography spots and will gladly take photos for you so that you have memories that will last a lifetime! We were extremely lucky that through my request to meet his family, (and I wasn’t sure if I was overstepping!), we were promptly invited to his home for a traditional Jordanian meal. His family welcomed us so warmly! The food was honestly the best we had in the entire country and the experience of sharing a meal with a local family is something money cannot buy. We wish his wonderful children every success. They are all so talented and it was a pleasure to meet them and his lovely wife. By the end of the trip Iyad had become a dear friend. We still keep in touch and he will always be synonymous with Jordan for us. A long review, but Iyad truly made our holiday. I cannot stress enough how different our experience would have been without him. If you are considering a driver, though his experience is SO much more, do not hesitate! Iyad is your man! Thank you my friend. I hope we will meet again!

The BEST Decision We Made For Our Trip To Jordan!!!
We reached out to Iyad following a personal recommendation for our upcoming trip to Jordan and it was categorically THE BEST decision we made for our trip! Whilst we had already an idea of how we wanted to do our trip, discussing this with Iyad prior, he gave us an alternative plan recommendation to minimise our time spent travelling and maximise our time exploring. Having trusted his local knowledge and experience we replanned our trip and not only planned to do the 2 days to Petra and Wadi Rum with him, but asked for a quote to travel the Dead Sea and Jerash with him also. Iyad was more than happy to pull this enhanced itinerary together and presented us with a quote to cover our trip. Our enhanced trip included: - A driving tour of Amman - A day in Petra - A night in Wadi Rum - A visit and night at the Dead Sea - Exploring the Jerash ruins - Finishing back at the airport Iyad was super personable, friendly and it feels more like you are travelling with a family member than someone you have paid to drive you. Instead of the longer drives feeling tedious we spent the time learning from him about the local culture, his family and sharing stories which soon ate the drive time up. Iyad's driving is faultless, a smooth driver who could impart wisdom all whilst being alert enough to predict the odd animal running out into the road so there was no harsh braking (almost like he had a superpower!). He was always checking if we needed more water (ice cold to help us manage the temperatures) and also if we needed to stop for a coffee or a snack. He was also very quick to recognise the sun position and grab a visor out to cover Nikki's window as she was on the side of the sun for a long period of time - attentive about the smallest of details! The car was also super cool with some great air conditioning which really helped after exploring the hot sites. Iyad also explained to us how all tourist drivers have to have certain number plates to identify them and their registration in the window - something more for peace of mind. Whilst we had booked an itinerary, Iyad also asked occasionally if we wanted to see some of his personal hidden gems along the route. Sometimes this meant a small detour down a less direct route but would often lead to a magical moment only a local would know about - something we could almost guarantee you wouldn't see without him. His hidden gems are not only sites, but also restaurants for food and it was some of the best food we ate in Jordan! It is important to note that Iyad's tour doesn't include entry to sights (as historical tours have to be by a licenced historical guide), nor accommodation but reach out to him and he'll give you some fantastic recommendations! From the first message reaching out to Iyad, to the moment we departed Jordan he was the utmost friendly and professional but we soon realised travelling with him, he was more a friend than a driver. If you are reading this and considering it, do it, it'll be the most amazing trip!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum?
+
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 Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum?
+
Around 2 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Two Day Tour from Amman to Petra & Wadi Rum 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, Amman Petra Full-Day Trip. 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.
