Incredible experience

Sandra_M, Sep 2025

Our trip to Petra with Khaled was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we set off, everything was seamless and perfectly organised, making the whole day stress free and enjoyable. Khaled was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about Petra’s history and culture. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and guided us through the day with ease. Exploring Petra itself was breathtaking, but having Khaled as our guide truly elevated the experience. I highly recommend booking with Khaled if you want an exceptional and memorable visit to one of Jordan’s greatest treasures.

See Petra Cliffs in one day

Ann_W, Apr 2025

Long day but well worth seeing the Petra Cliffs, an ancient wonder. (UNESCO World Heritage site). Driver picked me up promptly and we drove to Petra, with a rest stop on the way. About 4 hours allotted to walk in the sure.

Great trip, great driver!

Leah_s, Sep 2024

Great trip to Petra made even better by having Anas as my driver. He was very friendly and flexible with timings, meaning I didn’t feel rushed. He also gave me information about Jordan and places we saw on the journey, stopping at view points and historical sites along the way. As a solo traveller I felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you!

Fun day in Petra

SyedHamid_P, May 2024

Shadi picked me up on time from my hotel and we had a very smooth ride to Petra. He stopped along the way close to Petra to show me the world smallest hotel which I really appreciated, since it was not on the itinerary. Shadi is a great driver and good communicator; he answered all my questions and more. At Petra, he explained what I should do and where to go, great advise. I highly recommend this service.

Quiet and awkwardly drive

Johnathan_T, May 2024

Petras was “magnificent“ The assigned driver was punctual and quiet (He just said he was Russian, nothing more.) When picking us up at the hotel, I was very clear that I did not want to make any stops because we had a reservation at a restaurant in Amman…. During the way he made a stop in front of a restaurant, he stopped to smoke and left me and my partner with the car turned off ( It would have been nice to leave us with the car ON while he took his smooke break) … was a confusing and awkward moment… I think this tour is not the best "viator" have better ones keep looking my friends !!!

Yousef Musleh

James_C, Jan 2024

Petra is inherently awesome. The person who made the experience truly worthwhile was our driver, Yousef Musleh, If you have any control over who takes you, ask for him. In our drive down and back, from Amman, we covered many topics regarding the history and culture of Jordan. A big dose of philosophy was shaken into the mix. Because of Yousef, my wife and I had one of the most extraordinary days of our lives.
