Absolutely brilliant experience exploring Jordan in a very short time. Day 1: picked up from hotel in Amman and straight to Petra and were a mixed group from uk, us, russia, hungary and Italy. It was about 2.5 /3 hours to Petra and We had 5 hours in Petra. I read some reviews saying this wasn’t sufficient time but we all found it enough and managed to see most of the sites and the monastery as well. You can make it if you get straight there and took about 1hr 30 to the furthest point at the monastery but it’s a fair walk and lots of stairs to get there. Then straight onto wadi rum which was about 2 hours from sunset. This was absolutely incredible and the views and the calm tranquility was one of the highlights. I stayed in a deluxe tent which was only about £30 more and well worth the price - as it had heating and ac as well as a private bathroom - it was like a hotel room rather than the smaller tents which don’t have toilets or heating and are more basic (depends on what you want) The jeep tour was fantastic - remember both your thermals and sun cream as the sun is quite intense but also it’s pretty cold in the am (was there in Feb) Next onto the Dead Sea which was about 4 hours so fairly long but we had toilet breaks and didn’t feel too bad. 2.5 hours at the Dead Sea for floating and mud soaking and then an hour ish back to Amman. The tour guide jafar was fantastic - super knowledgable and got us around super efficiently. So grateful to his expertise! Amazing trip and leaving feeling culturally fulfilled but also rested and recharged despite a full schedule!

Had a great time in Amman and Jerash. Our driver/guide Mr Mint was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. He showed us some local deserts and tea, which was really nice. The only issue was that the tour was only 6 hours when we were driven to our hotel, not 7 hours as advertised.

This tour offered a wonderful experience to get as much as you possibly can see in three days. Our driver Ahmed was overly helpful, considerate, kind, and caring. Our tour, the dead sea was planned for the last day, but it was supposed to rain the last day, so Ahmed our driver asked us if it was okay to call an audible and recommended we stop at the Dead Sea on day one instead of three. We are very grateful that he was knowledgeable and helpful in that way, because day three it ended up raining and all of the tours to the Dead Sea got canceled, so nobody was able to go swim like we were able to. We really felt cared for and welcomed by Ahmed and appreciate all his help and guidance. He also took us to a place called little Petra, which is not on the itinerary, but he pays the Guide out of his own pocket, and it was a really amazing experience, and something I had never heard of before. You have a local person give you a tour and you get to see and hear about the history of little Petra. Every place we stopped was beautiful and phenomenal, we never felt in a pressure to buy anything or pushed too hard. Ahmed would stop at beautiful viewpoints along the way and stop his car so you could get a picture and enjoy the view, which was really nice. He got us everywhere in a timely and safe manner. If anyone is going to Jordan for about three days, this is the perfect tour to get everything that you need to see in a short period of time. If you like a little bit slower moving, and time to spend at each stop, then you might want to do a couple more days. We did Petra in just one day, but it is big enough that we could have stayed for two full days, exploring and hiking. Of course, this tour is planned to do as much as you can, in as little time, so we were grateful with the one day we had. The camp in wadi rum was very hospitable, and comfortable. We stayed in a private tent with a private bathroom and heating/AC unit and it was very nice and comfortable, dinner was a traditional Bedouin meal cooked how the Bedouins cook it. Ahmed was our driver, but also acted as a guide for us, and was very informative and knowledgeable about everything. We really were happy to go on this tour and have such a great driver. 10/10 recommend!!

Great excursion but definitely needed more time to see Petra. To get to the monastery at the end in the time allotted we had to take 2 golf cart lifts (15 JD pp- per ride, cash only) and a donkey ride (25 JD pp round trip) - but well worth it. Amazing views but bring cash (they also accept USD and Euros, just not credit cards). And wear comfy walking shoes! Wadi Rum and Dead Sea also cool. 😎 Our guide Ahmed was amazing!

At the beginning of the trip, our driver offered to take us to the Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ and Mount Nebo for 30 JOD extra for the two of us. We agreed to this as we’d not had an opportunity to visit these sites beforehand. The Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ cost 12 JOD per person for entry, and this included a group tour guide, and it lasted for around 2 hours. We later went to the Crown Plaza to go into the dead sea and then have a buffet lunch. Later on, we went to Mount Nepo, which costed 3 JOD per person, but this is cash only (card not accepted). The whole day took around 8-9 hours from Amman and back, including these two additional site stops. Our driver, Omar, was great and gave us waters throughout the journeys. He also showed us the facilities at the dead sea resort, and stopped at a few points to take photos for us. This day trip was definitely worth it. The dead sea was a lot warmer than expected, and the climate is a lot warmer than in Amman. We did this trip in late December, and it was definitely warm enough to go into the sea. We were taken to the Holiday Inn resort at first, but due to an event, the beach was closed, so we were taken to another hotel with the same rating, which was also nice, called the Crown Plaza resort. The buffet food was very good, and the hotel surroundings were also nice.

A great way to see the highlights with limited time. Our driver was really flexible. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to see everything as we wanted. He made certain we got to the entrances and that we knew what we were doing and where he would be waiting, which he was even if we were early. Great local knowledge. Felt really safe. Definitely recommend.

Amazing scuba experience. My wife and I were first time divers, and this did not disappoint, we would highly recommend. This dive starts from the shore, which works really well as the dive sites are between 10m-30m from shore. Starting from shore also lets you get acclimated to diving and using the gear in shallow water. The guide was very professional and they will provide one guide per group (the largest group we saw was three people, so they may provide an additional guide if your group is 4+). The guide operates your flotation bladder and checks in on you regularly to ensure you’re having a safe and fun experience. If it’s your first dive, they will take you about ~7-8m deep to see a sunken tank along with coral reefs and beautiful fish. If you do well on your first dive, they will offer to take you on a second dive to about 12-13m deep to see a sunken plane. Additionally, they take great pictures on a GoPro and provide you a link same day for no added cost. Also, they offer pick up and return to your hotel for a fair price added on the day of. I would recommend as Uber isn’t operating in Aqaba, and they will take you to your hotel as soon as you’re done diving. Also, we saw them guide a group that could barely swim and they did just fine diving. All abilities will do well on this tour. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

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.
