The experience

Your driver collects you from your hotel or airport in Amman and the drive to Petra takes you through Jordan's changing landscape, from rugged mountains to open desert. As you approach the rose-red city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the scale of what you are about to walk becomes visible in the cliffs themselves. The tour focuses on Petra's most iconic landmarks: the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), the intricately carved tombs and temples that line the site, and the ancient architecture the Nabataeans cut into the stone over two thousand years ago.

After Petra, the route heads to Wadi Rum, about two hours away by road. The desert valley is known for its red and yellow sand dunes and dramatic rock formations. A two-hour jeep safari takes you through the most striking sites in the area, with time to stop for photographs before the return drive to Amman. A four-hour journey that brings you back to your hotel by evening.

The vehicle is air-conditioned throughout, and the driver speaks English. Bottled water and onboard WiFi are included. If you are traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available. The tour suits all fitness levels, though Petra itself involves walking over uneven terrain and some steep sections.

Top questions

What is the Treasury at Petra and why is it the most famous part of the site?

The Treasury, known as Al-Khazneh, is the most iconic landmark at Petra: a massive facade carved directly into the rose-red cliff face by the Nabataeans over two thousand years ago. It is the first major structure visitors encounter when entering the site, and its intricate carved details and sheer scale make it the symbol of the lost city.

What happens during the two-hour Wadi Rum jeep safari?

The jeep safari takes you through Wadi Rum's desert valley to see the most beautiful rock formations and sand dunes in the area. You'll have stops for photographs, and the tour is timed to include the sunset across the desert before returning to Amman.

Does this tour include entry tickets to Petra and Wadi Rum?

Entry tickets to both Petra and Wadi Rum are not included in the tour price and must be purchased separately. Your guide will help you understand what to expect at each site.

Can I book a private tour instead of joining a group?

Yes, the tour is available as a private departure or as a group tour. You also have the option to book a private Petra-only tour if you prefer not to include Wadi Rum. Choose your preference at checkout.

What is included in the price besides the guide and transport?

Hotel or airport pickup in Amman, air-conditioned vehicle throughout the day, an English-speaking driver, bottled water and onboard WiFi are all included. Specialized infant seats are available if needed.
