Overview

This full-day trip from Amman to Petra lasts about 8 to 11 hours and includes private transportation with hotel pickup and drop-off. You will travel in an air-conditioned vehicle for roughly three hours through Jordan's landscapes, including a stop to rest and stretch. Upon arrival at the Petra visitor center, the driver helps you buy tickets to avoid delays entering the site. You can optionally hire a local guide for two hours to gain detailed explanations about Petra's history and architecture. The guide will lead you through the ancient city, including the Siq canyon, the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), the Street of Facades, rock-cut tombs, the Royal Tombs, and Pharaoh's Castle. Petra was established by the Nabataean Arabs around the 6th century B.C. and became a wealthy trade hub. Visitors typically enter Petra riding horseback through the Siq, which opens to the Treasury carved into sandstone cliffs blending Hellenistic and Nabataean styles. The site is known for its advanced water management system and was named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World in 2007. At the tour's end, if you selected the guide option, the guide will accompany you to the meeting point. Then you return to Amman in the same private vehicle over about three hours. The trip includes onboard Wi-Fi, water, and an English-speaking driver.
