Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Du vil forlade hotellet tidligt om morgenen for at køre med din informative engelsktalende chauffør til den nabatæiske røde rose by Petra, en af verdens syv vidundere, for et klassisk besøg. Mens du rejser, kigger du på ørkenlandskaberne og hører historier om Jordans historie. Denne gamle roserøde stenby, der er udhugget i en sandstendal, udskåret af nabatæerne for ca. 2.000 år siden, ligger 125 kilometer fra Aqaba ved krydsvejen mellem gamle handelsruter, for at dominere det gamle Arabien.
Fortsæt til Petra hjemmeside for at lære mere om dens storslåede historie. Ved ankomsten, forlade dit køretøj, og nyde en 2-timers tur af denne UNESCO-arvsliste mirakel med en lokal guide. Først skal du gå gennem den berømte "Siq", en smal sti på 1,2 kilometer; klippeskæring, der engang var hovedindgangen til byen, og undre dig over dit første glimt af den forbløffende smukke skattekiste "El - Khazneh" som kanionen pludselig åbner op.
Beundre dette rose-rosa mesterværk, oprindeligt bygget til at huse uvurderlige skatte og fange det på kameraet. Derefter fortsætter gennem den udvidede canyon for at være vidne til andre monumenter som 3,000-sæder teater, de kongelige grave og den byzantinske kirke. Mens du udforsker, kan du lytte til, hvordan din guide beskriver, hvordan nabatæerne skulpterede bygningerne, og lære, hvordan de beherskede de hårde ørkenforhold for at gøre deres liv her. Efter cirka to timers udforskning, nyd fritiden. Hvis tiden tillader det, kan du klatre op i klosteret på egen hånd eller på den høje offerplads: et klipperet alter, der engang blev brugt til dyreliv og andre ceremonier. Fri tid til at besøge Petra Museum; hvis der er tid, så genoptage dit køretøj og chauffør.
Tilbage til Petra's indgang og genoptage dit private køretøj og chauffør. Passere ved Lille Petra, en lille stenet dal med udskæringer, som arkæologer mener fungerede som Nabatean's karavan før vejen til hovedstaden og som en indkvartering stop for de handlende, der rejste gennem byen. Derefter rejser du tilbage til Aqaba, hvor din dagstur slutter med et hotel. Vær venlig at bære komfortable sko og medbringe en solhatt til dette uforglemmelige eventyr. Kom og udforsk et af verdens vidundere inden for arkitektonisk ingeniørarbejde kombineret med opfindsomheden ved at skære for et uforglemmeligt eventyr ligesom Indiana Jones!

As a British traveller based in SaudiArabia travelling to Aqaba through the AROYA cruise, I would like to specially leave a glowing review for Zaid Tours and Travels in Jordan, honestly their owner Carol and their agent Safinaz has shown outstanding customer service and taken their time to answer all my questions and shown continued patience and support with me throughout the process of booking the experience, unfortunately I had to cancel the trip to Petra for personal reasons, but I was given a full refund and they were very professional and kept me informed on email about the refund process which really set my mind at ease. I wish Carol, Safinaz and Zaid Travels continued prosperity and success, they are extremely professional, a true asset and a wonderful reflection of their country.
Thank you very much, can't wait to have you here with us in Jordan.
My driver Osama picked me up at my hotel bright and early. He was friendly and patient. My tour guide Naif was great. Very knowledgeable, kind, and made our experience memorable.

I booked this trip on TripAdvisor mostly off of the reviews. Overall the trip was good - the driver who came to pick is up was on time. The tour guide was also informative. The price of the tour as others have mentioned is quite steep for the offering. The tour guide was only with us for 2hr and we were left on our own for much of the day. If the price was lowered, I think the value would be more appropriate or more time with the guide.
Good day, thank you for your comment. I am happy to hear our services were up to standard as specified, and it met your satisfaction. Please note that the price we offer for private services is very competitive, value for money; as the prices of the shore excursions from the cruises directly are way more expensive and much higher than our prices. Many cruises only offer group tours.
Great driver and Petra guide. They did a good job. I’m very happy. I was picked up from my hotel on time. The driver and guide were very pleasant. Highly recommended
Thank you for your comments and for sharing your experience with us. The nicest complement that our team can get is your desire to return to Jordan with us. We are truly happy to learn that you enjoyed your holiday with us and even, it was difficult to leave. What a complement indeed! Looking forward to your next visit.
Surprisingly I was the only participants, so I was driven to and from Petra by the father in law of the company's local representative. He was not a guide, so there were no information about Jordan's history on the way as indicated in the description. I got a very good and knowledgable guide in Petra, so this main part of the program was excellent. Lunch at the restaurant down in Petra was good. However, the price I paid for the whole package compared to what was delivered was much too high.
Thank you for your comments, that all our services were just perfect to say the least based on the tour description and inclusions! Please note that due to this, our services are value for money private tour, and your booking was for just 1 traveler. Kindly note our prices are competitive in the market with other prices of same and similar visits, if not less! I personally agree with you that an excellent service is paid for what it is! Not more, nor less. Looking forward to have you with us again!
Despite a hot day, visiting Petra is an amazing experience. Guide was knowledgeable and driver was excellent with a 1-month old vehicle. Driver also stopped and bought us the famous Jordanian dessert of cheese and honey.
💕Great! Looking forward to have you and your family again with us! Thank you.
Saleh Our Driver was on time was excellent and also our guide in Petra Mohammed was very knowledgeable & informative would recommend this trip with Viator very reliable
Great! Looking forward to have you and your family again with us! Thank you.
An unique experience to visit Petra. A very old and very well preserved historical place. Petra was a very important city of the famous Silk Road. One may have a precise idea how the people leave and how the habitants manage the caravanas on the way to China. It is important to bring water and to be prepared to walk 2.5 miles - both ways. It is worthwhile.
Great! Looking forward to have you and your family again with us! Thank you.
It’s a private tour “Petra and Little Petra Day Trip from Aqaba, with Aqaba Port Transfer”, booked directly with Viator, and serviced by the local tour operator “Zaid Tours and Travel”. The tour started ok. The young driver, Ahmad Nazzai, met our party of four, two couples, at the port, and transported us in a Hyundai van to Petra. But he didn’t know the tour also included the tour Little Petra, and horse rides before “Siq”, the gorge into Petra. He called his office and confirmed. We met an older tour guide, also named Ahmad, at the ticketing area for Petra, and then went to the horse riding platform and got on 3 small horses; one person didn’t want to ride. There’s no formal arrangement between Zaid Tours and horse-boys (men). One horse-boy demanded $25 for tip from the wife of one couple, and wouldn’t slow down when he didn’t hear the tip agreement. It’s a dangerous ride for her. Two other horse-boys were more friendly. The tour guide indicated that there would be horse rides when we came back from Petra, but there was no such arrangement. The tour guide was pretty bad, just walked a good distance ahead of us, didn’t care that we were taking pictures of this amazing gorge, and didn’t provide much information about the artifacts that guides of other tour groups were providing. At the end of the gorge, we saw the famous temple facade, and took many pictures. It’s quite hot. The guide didn’t show much interest of going beyond, and so we let him go. We walked back without realizing it’s going uphill and the sun directly overhead. It’s probably better to ride an electric golf cart, $25 per person. We went back to the pre-arranged area and texted the driver for our next stop, Little Petra. We were surprised to find out that we wouldn’t have a tour guide for Little Petra, and the driver volunteered to step in as the guide. But things went bad to worst. The local hustlers demanded about $40 per person for guiding and wouldn’t allow the driver to accompany us. We didn’t feel safe to go with those hustlers and decided to skip Little Petra and just returned to Aqaba. The driver called his office for help and then told us that his office couldn’t help. We were quite disappointed about this entire tour. The driver was however quite pleasant and we tipped him at the port and wish him Happy Ramadan. Contacted Viator the next day and reported the incident at Little Petra, but only received only that “we understand your fear of safety and disappointment”, and nothing else.
So sorry to hear that some local hustlers bothered you at Little Petra, our driver had already warned you to be careful; since unfortunately this happens in many tourists’ spots in the world, and it is not in anyone’s control. However, we do care about your safety as it is our priority, and be rest assured there is nothing these boys can do to you or harm you. Jordan is a safe country and our driver was there to assist you in destination directly, as he represents the office and we are not present directly. Please note our office is in charge of the tour driver and guide for the classic Petra visit, Little Petra is an additional visit to the tour and no guide is mentioned under tour inclusions at Little Petra. We do not do any arrangements with the horse boys at Petra, since they are independent, and since tips are not under our contracted services of the tour. The horse ride till before the Siq is included in Petra ticket entrance, but tips (gratuities) not included. We understand your disappointment from the conduct of the locals and horse boys, that we can inform Petra Municipality about, in order to have more control on them directly, as not our responsibility as tour service providers. Thank you once again for your comments for improvement purposes in Petra!
