Descripción

Visite la ciudad de Petra, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, y explore profundos cañones bajo los altos acantilados de arenisca.

Disfrute de tiempo libre para explorar Petra a su antojo antes de continuar viendo la menos conocida Pequeña Petra, cuyos edificios de roca esculpida eran un suburbio de la ciudad principal.

Itinerario
Saldrá del hotel temprano por la mañana para conducir con su conductor de habla inglesa informativo a la ciudad nabatea de Petra, una de las Siete Maravillas del Mundo, para una visita clásica. Mientras viajas, contempla los paisajes del desierto y escucha historias de la historia de Jordania. Esta antigua ciudad rocosa de color rosa, excavada en un valle de arenisca por el pueblo nabateo hace unos 2.000 años, se encuentra a 125 kilómetros de Aqaba, en la encrucijada de antiguas rutas comerciales, para dominar la antigua Arabia.
Continúe hacia el sitio principal de Petra para aprender más sobre su magnífica historia. A su llegada, deje su vehículo y disfrute de un recorrido de 2 horas por esta maravilla declarada Patrimonio de la UNESCO con un guía local. En primer lugar, camine por el famoso “Siq”, un camino estrecho de 1,2 kilómetros; fisura de roca que una vez fue la entrada principal a la ciudad, y maravíllese con su primer vistazo a la inquietantemente hermosa Hacienda “El - Khazneh” cuando el cañón se abre repentinamente.
Admira esta obra maestra rosada, construida originalmente para albergar tesoros de valor incalculable y captúrala en cámara. Luego, continúe a través del cañón ensanchado para presenciar otros monumentos como el Teatro de 3.000 plazas, las Tumbas Reales y la Iglesia Bizantina. Mientras exploras, escucha cómo tu guía describe cómo los nabateos esculpieron los edificios y aprende cómo dominaron las duras condiciones del desierto para hacer sus vidas aquí. Después de aproximadamente dos horas de exploración, disfrute del tiempo libre. Si el tiempo lo permite se puede subir al Monasterio por su cuenta o al Lugar Alto del Sacrificio : altar en lo alto de un acantilado que una vez fue utilizado para sacrificios de animales y otras ceremonias. Tiempo libre para visitar el Museo Petra; si hay tiempo, vuelva con su vehículo y conductor.
Regresa a la entrada de Petra y vuelve con tu vehículo privado y conductor. Pase por Little Petra, un pequeño valle rocoso con tallas, que los arqueólogos creen que actuó como caravana del nabateo antes de dirigirse a la ciudad principal y como parada de alojamiento para los comerciantes que viajaban por la ciudad. Luego, viaje de regreso a Aqaba, donde su excursión de un día termina con un regreso al hotel. Por favor use zapatos cómodos y traiga un sombrero para esta aventura inolvidable. ¡Ven a explorar una de las maravillas de la ingeniería arquitectónica del mundo combinada con el ingenio de tallar para una aventura inolvidable como la de 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!
