Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea: 3-Day Private Trip from AmmanYou’ll stand where prophets are said to have gazed across valleys from Mount Nebo, trace ancient mosaics in Madaba, climb Kerak’s fortress walls, wander Petra’s hidden canyons with a local guide, ride jeeps through silent Wadi Rum dunes, sleep in a Bedouin camp under desert stars, and finally float weightless in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea—each stop leaving its own mark.
Petra & Little Petra: Private Day Trip with Guide from AmmanYou're picked up from your Amman hotel before dawn and driven 245km to Petra, where a local guide leads you through the Siq canyon and past the Treasury, Royal Tombs, Theater, and Byzantine Church over two hours. Free time lets you climb to the Monastery or explore the museum, then you visit Little Petra on the return journey before hotel drop-off in the evening. Hotel pickup, private transport, entrance fees, and a local guide are all included.Is it for me?Right for travelers based in Amman without a rental car who want to see Petra's main sites in one day with transport and entry handled. Expect a full day out—the drive is long each way, which is what makes reaching Petra and returning to Amman in a single trip possible.
Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais & Ajloun from AmmanThis private day trip from Amman visits Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle in one 10-hour tour by air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver and hotel pickup included. You see Roman theaters and colonnades at Jerash, the ancient city of Gadara perched above the Jordan Valley at Umm Qais, and a 12th-century fortress in the hills at Ajloun, with transport and timing arranged so the three stops fit into a single day. Entry fees to the sites are not included and you'll need moderate fitness for walking the ruins.Is it for me?The English-speaking driver means you get context about what you're seeing without needing to read a guidebook or follow a group's pace — good if you want to understand the sites without the structure of a larger tour, and if you're comfortable with moderate walking across uneven terrain at each location.
2 to 5 hours (1)
Jerash & Ajloun Castle day trip: two Jordan sites in one dayA day trip from your hotel combines Jerash, an ancient Roman city with temples and the Oval Plaza, and Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century Crusader fortress on Mount 'Auf, with transportation and an English-speaking driver. The itinerary spans five to eight hours and includes time at each site to absorb its history without rushing. Hotel pickup is included; a local guide is available as an add-on option.Is it for me?Choose the transportation-only option if you want to move through both sites at your own pace and spend extra time at whichever one holds you longer. Add the local guide if the history and context matter more than the freedom to linger—the guide deepens what you see at both Jerash and Ajloun without the day feeling scripted.
