Petra Full Day Tour from Aqaba: Hotel Pickup & Local Guide

A full day at Petra with transport and a guide who knows the site

A full-day tour of Petra starting with hotel pickup and a two-hour drive each way in an air-conditioned vehicle, led by a local guide fluent in English. The tour includes access to the site's major attractions and is suitable for all fitness levels. Wheelchair-accessible transport and facilities are available throughout.

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel and a two-hour drive to Petra. You'll have a local English-speaking guide who knows the area well and can help arrange any activities available on the day. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and the route itself gives you time to settle in before you arrive at the site.

Once at Petra, the guide leads you through the major attractions. The site is wheelchair accessible, and all surfaces are navigable for visitors of varying fitness levels. If you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available, or the child can sit on an adult's lap. The guide's familiarity with Petra means you'll get context and local knowledge most visitors miss, and they can adjust the pace to match your group's needs.

The return journey is another two-hour drive back to your hotel, giving you the full day on-site without the logistics of arranging your own transport or navigation.
