About this experience

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.

Itinerary and highlights

Experience a full-day Petra tour starting from Amman. Your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Amman and then begin the drive towards the Petra site. Our English-speaking driver will take you along the Desert Highway to Petra. The journey to Petra will be no less than three hours, contingent upon the prevailing road conditions, and will include one scheduled stop along the route.

Upon reaching the visitor center in Petra, your driver will help you purchase tickets. If you're interested in learning more about the area's architecture and history, a local guide can be arranged for you. (Optional)

This extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage site ranks among Jordan’s most valued treasures. Start your exploration by walking through the breathtaking, narrow passage known as Al-Siq, which serves as the main entrance to the ancient city of Petra. Upon arrival, take in the magnificent Al-Khazneh Treasury, a remarkable edifice carved into the mountain's rock face, embellished with stunning Corinthian capitals, friezes, and sculptures. After a lunch break (optional) in Petra, continue your journey to other renowned locations, such as the Monastery, the Altar of Sacrifice, the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and the Roman Theatre.

Upon the conclusion of the tour, you will convene with your driver at the same location where you were dropped off (Visitor Center). Subsequently, you will prepare for the journey to Wadi Rum, which is expected to take approximately two hours.

Upon reaching the site, your 4x4 safari vehicle will be set for the 2-hour adventure, accompanied by a local safari driver throughout the ride. Discover landmarks such as the Nabataean Temple, the Wadi Rum Map, the Little Bridge, and the Red Sand Dune. You’ll also have the opportunity to take a camel ride through the desert (at your own expense). Visit a Bedouin camp where you can savor Arabic tea or coffee while interacting with the locals. Conclude your experience by witnessing a stunning sunset over the smooth desert plains.

After the tour ends, the driver will take you back to Amman or Amman International Airport.
