A one-day tour to Petra, the "Rose-Red City, Half as Old as Time," is an intensive but unforgettable experience designed to cover the major, iconic highlights of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since Petra is an ancient city built by the Nabataeans and carved directly into the sandstone cliffs, the tour is primarily a full day of walking and hiking through spectacular canyons and architectural wonders.

Unforgettable Amman to Petra Experience with Mahmoud– Highly Recommend!
If you’re planning a trip from Amman to Petra, I cannot recommend Mahmoud enough! From the moment we met him, he was an exceptional driver and guide. Mahmoud was not only punctual and organized, but he went above and beyond to make our day perfect. He provided us with water, was always attentive to our needs, and handled all logistics like tickets and local Petra guide seamlessly. The guide he arranged at Petra was also outstanding and full of insight. Mahmoud’s patience, friendliness, and professionalism truly made the entire experience unforgettable. If you want an stress-free, personalized Petra adventure, ask for Mahmoud, you won’t regret it! -Oscar C

Amazing. Highly recommend ✨ (23hr layover)
Amazing experience from the start to the end.
I can’t recommend SHADI enough - he was amazing throughout the whole trip. His patience, kindness and humour will stay with us for a long time!
Events occurred:
- Shadi messaged on WhatsApp to confirm our arrival
- Collected at airport and drove straight to Petra, had cold water bottles in the car
- Stopped over at a rest point halfway the trip to grab a snack, drink, use the bathroom or to shop
- Continued on to Petra, Shadi asked if we wanted a guide, and we said yes
- Before arriving at the visitors centre, he took a photo of us at a photo point and told us about the mountains in the back and that it was Petra!
- Dropped us off at the visitors centre and introduced to our guide
- PETRA IS WORTH THE VISIT, we only had 2-3hrs but I suggest at least the whole day with a guide!
- Shadi waited for us to finish and we took a detour to the Dead Sea
- Again, Shadi waited for us for 2hrs and then we went back to Amman for our overnight stay
Overall, Jordan is a gorgeous country, it’s a shame we only saw it on our 23hr layover but we’ll definitely be back.
Having Shadi and talking with him made the journey a lot faster and was great company.
☺️☺️
Operator response

We're so glad you enjoyed your brief but memorable time in Jordan and that Petra lived up to your expectations. It sounds like you made the most of your 23-hour layover, and we're happy we could be a part of it.
We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer visit next time you're in Jordan!

Amazing Tour with Bardaghawi!!!
The trip was an absolutely amazing experience, my driver Bardaghawi had me lost for words at how generous and eager he was to make my trip as enjoyable as possible from start to finish. One of the best guides I have ever had and hope to have him for tours again back in Jordan!

A simple day out with stunning scenery
The service to get there was painless and easy on me, easily managed to get a ticket and get on the hike. The views were breathtaking and the hiking wasn’t even that difficult if you stay on the main path. My driver - Shadi - was very accommodating and helpful with tips of what to do and what not to do once I got there.
