Petra and Wadi Rum One Day Tour
Description
Explore two of Jordan’s remarkable gems: the stunning World Wonder of Petra and the beautiful desert scenery of Wadi Rum. Head over to Petra, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its beautifully carved ruins that dazzle in vibrant hues of red, white, and pink sandstone. This incredible place was founded around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataeans, a nomadic tribe that made this enchanting region their home. You'll love exploring attractions like Al-Siq, the Treasury, the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and the Pharaoh’s Castle—all waiting for you to discover! Later in the day, head towards Wadi Rum, aptly named the Valley of the Moon. This protected area is famous for its breathtaking desert wilderness, featuring towering mountains of sandstone and granite that rise dramatically from the landscape. Complete your journey by heading back to Amman, where you can gaze at the starlit sky over Jordan’s enchanting desert landscapes.

Absolutely wonderful tour visiting Petra and Wadi Rum with Khalid Najjar. First of all, we can not thank him enough for his kindness and hospitality––ensuring that we were comfortable and happy with our tour. He made a few extra special stops with gorgeous views of Wadi Mousa (Petra). He was an amazing tour guide and ensured our safety with each stretch of drive. I will absolute be looking for him upon my return to Jordan with more family members. Our trip also included the 4x4 open-back truck ride across Wadi Rum, an amazing private guide at Petra, and an absolutely delicious lunch with Khalid where we feasted on Mansaf and Knafeh (the Knafeh was a special treat for my mother's celebration of her birthday). Thank you to Khalid and all that made this trip extra special.

We had an amazing full-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum with Ibrahim, and it was truly unforgettable. Ibrahim is extremely professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. He made the entire journey smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish. He explained the history of Petra in a very interesting way and gave us plenty of time to explore without rushing. In Wadi Rum, he made sure we experienced the true beauty of the desert and took great care of every detail. Ibrahim is also very friendly and respectful, making us feel safe and relaxed throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a reliable, well-organized, and memorable tour in Jordan, I highly recommend Ibrahim. You won’t be disappointed!

Abed the driver was great - very smooth trip and was very comfortable. Great tour guides in Petra and Wadi rum … tickets and booking was not very clear as it said when we booked that all entries were included (as we booked the all inclusive one which was $955 aus for the 2 of us) yet we were told wadi rum entry was not included, so our driver very kindly still got us the entry tickets as we had thought they were apart of the tour. Also lunch was not included which we were slightly surprised due to the price of the tour, but altogether very much still enjoyed our time and seeing these incredible places.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for highlighting both the positives and the areas for improvement. We're pleased to hear that Abed was a great driver and that you enjoyed the guides in Petra and Wadi Rum. We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding the inclusions and the lunch. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will review our communication to make future bookings clearer for our guests. We're glad you still enjoyed these amazing destinations and hope to welcome you again for even better experiences!
It's was a breath taking amazing experience which is completely worth the journey its an experience of a life time and I would recommend anyone coming to Jordan to experience it, our driver Bardaghawi was phenomenal and made the tour fun and enjoyable
We are thrilled to hear that you had a breathtaking, amazing experience that was completely worth the journey. Knowing it was an experience of a lifetime is the highest compliment we could receive! We're incredibly proud of Bardaghawi! It's wonderful that he was phenomenal and made the tour so fun and enjoyable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you so much for your strong recommendation! We hope to welcome you back on another Jordanian adventure someday.
It was a wonderful way to begin discovering Jordan with this tour. Petra was truly spectacular, offering many beautiful spots beyond the famous wonder itself. The trip in Wadi Rum was great, though somewhat repetitive — the scenery was stunning but largely similar throughout. Our driver, Adnan, was excellent: very friendly, engaging, and talkative
Thank you, Nikolay, for your review! We're thrilled to hear that our tour provided a wonderful start to your discovery of Jordan. We fully agree that Petra is an extraordinary site with many hidden corners beyond the main Treasury. Your honest feedback on Wadi Rum is appreciated; it's a vast, stunning desert, though we understand some may find the scenery monotonous. Adnan is a valued member of our team, and we'll be sure to pass your praise for his friendly and engaging service. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Jordan and look forward to the opportunity to serve you again!
Adnan was a great driver, he was very friendly and shared lots of interesting facts about the different areas along the way. He got in contact the day before the tour to make sure of pick up time and location. Everything was to schedule. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted to know that you had such a great experience with our service. Your generous feedback motivates our team, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
From the moment we were picked up at the hotel, everything was perfectly organized. Our driver, Bardaghawi, was punctual, friendly and made our trip very comfortable. The guides who accompanied us at Petra and Wadi Rum were exceptional: attentive, knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions or help us make the most of the experience. Petra is impressive, but touring Wadi Rum in 4x4 was the perfect day’s golden pin. The landscapes are indescribable, and the hospitality we received at all times made the experience even more special. If you are thinking of taking this excursion, do not hesitate. Fully recommended!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're so happy to hear you had a great experience! Your feedback truly inspires us, and we can’t wait to have you with us again soon.
