Day Trips from Aqaba to Treasury (al-Khazneh)

Visiting Petra from Aqaba is easiest by guided tour: freeing you from arranging your own transport, ticket, and guide. With this day trip, travel to the UNESCO-listed rock city by shared coach or minivan, and explore in a small group for a less-crowded experience. See the Siq, Treasury, and more; get free time to explore alone, and enjoy a short horseback ride as an included extra, all alongside included admission.

Discover the ancient jewel in Jordan’s crown on this private day trip to Petra from Aqaba. Visit the UNESCO–listed city of Petra and explore deep canyons beneath soaring sandstone cliffs. Marvel at the intricately carved face of the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) as your guide shares details of its construction. Learn of the 6th-century Nabataean people who lived in the valleys, and admire top attractions such as the ancient theater and the royal tombs. Enjoy free time to explore Petra at your leisure before boarding your minivan back to Aqaba.

Making your own day trip to Petra from Aqaba means arranging your own transport and a guide once there—both unwanted diversions on a hard-earned vacation.

So all you need do is admire the ancient rock city with your personal guide, with no distractions or travel worries.
