Top Amman Day Trips

Such a fun and easy way to visit Amman. We were picked up on time for our hotel and taken to see the mosque, which we chose to pay for to enter. It was super interesting to see that a Christian church stood across from the mosque, representing the Jordanian culture embracing differences. The mosque was beautiful and historic. Then, we did outside views of the citadel and the roman stadium, which were beautiful at night with the sun setting and the lovely hills. We couldn't visit the rainbow stairs. It was Christmas, a holiday that everyone takes and we were told that streets were closed, though we did drive through the old town which I would have loved to spend a bit more time in. The wine tasting was worth the extras!! We bought 4 bottles of wine. And, we loved the restaurant. The food was the highlight. There was so much food and we wanted to eat more but couldn't! It was a real authentic restaurant and not just a tourist place. Highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful and relaxing time visiting the sites with our tour operator, Ahmad. Ahmad picked us up at our hotel and took us to the key sites, took some great pictures of us, and was patient and informative. Tour lasted about approx 4 hours, however it seemed it could be shorter or longer, just depends on how long you spend at each site. Highly recommend if visiting Amman for first time as we were.

This tour was really something special. Mohammed, my driver/guide went above and beyond to make the trip memorable, from things as small as finding the best falafel, to tweaking the plan to add in hot springs when it was too cold for a Dead Sea float (though we still visited the Dead Sea). I cannot stress how cool this tour was. I loved seeing the mosaics of madaba, mount nebo and its views, little Petra, actual Petra (the crown jewel of the tour), the amazing rock formations and different colored sand in wadi rum (as well as seeing the stars at night), and the glass boat tour of Aqaba, before the hot springs an Dead Sea. You won’t regret going on this tour!

This was a great experience/ introduction to Jordan food. Our guide Mohammed Al-Quadi picked us up right on time. We visited all the sites in the itinerary and had a special guide at the Citadel. We Danielle so much food, we were very full! But it was a really good mix of walking and food tasting. Highly recommend this tour.

We had an excellent experience with our private driver, Faisal Abu Rashed. He was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and made our entire trip feel smooth and safe. Faisal went above and beyond—he helped us purchase genuine Jordanian stones (Aventurine) at a very fair price, brought us fresh pomegranate juice, and introduced us to fantastic local eateries we would have never found on our own. He also made us aware of local scammers/ticket procedures and shared insightful information about every tourist site we visited. His professionalism and warm personality truly enhanced our time in Jordan. Highly recommend Faisal to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional driver!

I booked this round-trip transfer from Amman to Petra, and it ended up being the perfect way to visit Petra without any stress. This experience is focused on transportation, not guiding once you arrive, and they do that part extremely well. If you want a comfortable, reliable, and simple way to get to and from Petra in one day, this is a great choice. Communication before pickup was very smooth. Everything was done through WhatsApp, which made the process easy. The driver reached out ahead of time, confirmed my pickup location, and stayed in touch the morning of the trip. He arrived right on time. I did not have luggage with me, but he definitely would have helped if I had. From the beginning, the whole process felt organized and dependable. The car itself was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. It was a modern sedan with good air conditioning, and the drive felt safe the entire way. The road to Petra is long, but the ride was smooth and relaxed. The driver was friendly and shared interesting information along the route, which made the drive even more enjoyable. He clearly knows the road and the timing well. One thing I appreciated was the small, well-timed stops along the desert highway. We made a very quick 3-minute stop for coffee, and then a longer 25-minute break where you can get food, use the bathroom, and look at a bit of local shopping. On the way back, we had another similar 25-minute stop. These breaks are flexible, so if you are not hungry or do not want to shop, you can keep them short. For me, they were a nice chance to stretch, grab a bite, and see a little roadside culture. The desert scenery is beautiful, and those brief stops made the drive feel easier and more enjoyable. When we reached Petra, the driver explained exactly where to go and made sure I felt confident navigating the Visitor Center. He showed me where to buy the entry ticket, told me who to ask for if I wanted a licensed guide, and gave helpful tips on what to avoid. Petra can be overwhelming at first, so having clear instructions made a big difference. From there, you have several hours to explore Petra on your own… which is exactly what I wanted. After finishing my time inside Petra, the driver was waiting at the exact spot we agreed on. He kept in communication the entire time, so I never had to worry about finding him or coordinating the return. The drive back to Amman was just as smooth as the drive there… relaxed, safe, and comfortable, with that one final break for food, bathroom, or shopping. Overall, this was an excellent experience and one I would absolutely recommend. If you are visiting Jordan and want a simple and reliable way to get to Petra, this is an ideal option. The driver was kind, helpful, and professional. The car was comfortable and clean. Communication was easy. The value for the price is truly great. If you want to visit Petra without dealing with transportation stress… book this. I would definitely do it again.

My guide, Mohammad, was on time, very friendly, knowledgeable,and went above and beyond to give me a wonderful experience, which was very reassuring as I was travelling as a solo female. Although the wind and rain meant that I wasn't able to float in the dead sea, I could still put my feet in it, swim in the resort pools and eat a very tasty meal. Thank you for this experience!

Had a great experience with Orwa. He took us through the beautiful streets and bazaars. He let us try some local delicacies and also suggested good eateries to try out. He explained the history of the place well and it was great to see the place from a local point of view. Super friendly with an amazing spirit !
