Enjoy this Petra transportation from Aqaba. You will be picked up from your hotel to start your Petra Transport. After that, you will be transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle for about 2 hours to the rose-red city of Petra. First started in the 6th century B.C. by Nabataean Arabs the city boasts beautiful facades carved directly into the walls of the mountainsides. Arriving at the visitor’s center it’s a 700-meter walk to the Siq entrance which is an impressive 1200 meter long gorge of a kaleidoscope of colors the towers more than 80 meters above you. As you exit the chasm you’re instantly transfixed by the beauty of Petra, chosen as one of the New World Wonders, the place speaks for itself. After your time at Petra, you make your way back through the Siq and head to the car witch will be waiting for you at the entrance parking. Finally, you will be driven back to your hotel in Aqaba.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our driver and guide Tariq for the wonderful experience during our sightseeing tour. He was extremely professional, punctual, and friendly from the very beginning. Throughout the trip, he made us feel safe and comfortable while driving. The vehicle was always clean and well-maintained, and his driving was smooth and careful. As a guide, he was knowledgeable and passionate about the local attractions. He shared many interesting facts and stories about each place we visited, which made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. He was also very patient, attentive to our needs, and always ready to answer any questions. Thanks to him, we were able to see the most beautiful and important sights without any stress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable driver and an excellent guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Tareq is an exceptional driver and guide! He ensured I had a wonderful experience in Aqaba - bringing me to both local and highly treasured spots and must see attractions along the way. He was attentive and always available. I made a new friend in Jordan. Thank you Tareq for your exceptional service 😊 🙏
It was too great to match your service. Thank you for the hospitality and for trying to make my trip one of the best experiences of my life, I hope it's not the last tour!
We had the pleasure to meet Tareq in Jordan who brought us to Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead sea and back to Amman. Friendly and accomodating, we actually felt like at home! He suggested us the best places and spots to visit giving us insights on what's best for our trip. The car was extremely comfortable with wifi connection always with us. Tareq is our first recommendation for any kind of trip in Jordan!
Tariq is the best driver and tour guide ive had! So helpful to go out of his way to take me from Aqaba to Amman and stop off at as many places as I could over the 3 days in jordan 🇯🇴. He was very informative of the history of all the areas and even gave me cool drinks after a long day's walk in the sun. Very happy traveller.
We had a fantastic experience with Tariq Tours for our transfer from the Aqaba border crossing to Petra. Our driver was incredibly friendly, professional, and made us feel safe throughout the journey. The car was spotlessly clean, equipped with free Wi-Fi and complimentary bottled water, which was such a thoughtful touch. The ride was smooth and comfortable. I would highly recommend Tariq Tours to anyone looking for a reliable and pleasant private transfer in Jordan!
We had a great day, thanks to Murad, our driver. From the first contact with Tariq to the last minute, everything was spotless. Thank you, everyone, for the amazing experience
