Top Dead Sea Art & Culture in 2026

Staying at the Dead Sea and want to see Petra? This private day trip picks you up from your Dead Sea hotel, so there is no need to go back to Amman first. Only your group travels in the car, with an English-speaking driver, and you explore Petra at your own pace. Walk through the Siq to the Treasury, see the Royal Tombs and the theatre, and if you have the energy, climb to the Monastery. Your driver waits at the visitor center and brings you back to your hotel in the evening. The car has air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and bottled water. Petra tickets are not included: buy them at the gate or use your Jordan Pass.

The flexibility and convenience of a private tour mean you’ll have more time at Petra, going beyond the main site to discover the spectacular hilltop monastery. This full-day Petra tour includes pickup and drop-off at Dead Sea hotels, as well as admission to the site and a buffet lunch at the Basin Restaurant.
