Jordan in 1 day

Yash_B, Jun 2024

Anas was a great driver. Texted via whatsapp a day before to confirm the time and hotel for pickup. Arrived in time and was flexible moving schedule due to last minute chores on my end. I only signed up for Petra but was able to add Wadi Rum and jeep tour on the way. Also was ready to give written heads up on preparing for the day ahead in terms of clothing, footwear, sunscreen etc. We first started with a conversation about a brief history of Jordan with the car AC on chill while it was 45 outside and stocked up on water along with wi-fi . Anas was knowledgeable about our route and Jordan in general along with its neighbors. Dropped my by Petra per our scheduled time and set me up with a government guide. Also gave me tips for the ways within Petra (Say no to hawkers, etc). I already had a heavy meal so decided to not stop at all on the way to Wadi Rum, he already had has meal and was ready to hit the road. We then headed to Wadi rum where he accompanied me in the Jeep tour. He turned out to be a great photographer and was also knowledgeable about the spots around. Had a good time with Anas and will recommend for a smooth stay in Jordan.

Alan_D, Feb 2023

Enjoyed this trip from start to end!

Abdulaziz_A, Nov 2022

First of all, I was very lucky to have been assigned Mr. Raed Owaida as my trip driver. He is very knowledgeable, informative, and welcoming (shout out to you Uncle Raed and thank you very much!) As for Petra, I don't think this experience can ever be described in words. There is so much to see, learn, explore, and observe to the point where 2-3 hours of walking will pass by without noticing. An astonishingly beautiful place with a rich history. Tips: Wear comfortable/sports clothes, walking/running shoes, and a backpack for water bottles and snacks. Make sure to start your trip as early as possible in the morning (6 am, 7 am, or 8 am max) so that you have time to go through all locations within Petra without any rush. Lastly, don't end your trip at Qasr Al-Bint, I recommend continuing until you reach The Monastery (Ad-Dier). However, you need to know that you will be climbing 850 steps to reach The Monastery so be careful if you have any health issues. Yes, it is exhausting, but definitely worth it. I enjoyed every bit of this trip and would HIGHLY recommend it.

MohamedAli_B, Oct 2017

I had the chance to visit Petra with an amazing driver. first he was on time at 7 am. Badr knows every shortcuts to Petra from the dead sea. he is a professional driver with a huge knowledge of Jordan's history and culture. Badr was a pleasant person with a lot of humour and fun. I highly recommend Badr Nabeel Guith as a driver for all your trips in Jordan.

This is probably the worst experience i ever had No wifi on your car as promised the wifi is use yoir drivers phone. The driver english is so poor you will stop talking after avail. When i called manager he responded rudely stating thats all they can offer. Basically its a taxi service to petra!!!

Petra is amazing, but the travel...

Lawrence_D, Sep 2016

Petra is amazing, but the travel company only gave me four hours to explore...so, that's three hours' drive from Amman, then three hours back. There wasn't really anything offered outside of the ride, and the driver was a very nice guy...but I actually expected a little more than just a ride for the price I paid.

Response from Host, Sep 2016

Our tour is not a Guided tour from Amman, but all our drivers have a very good knowledge almost for every site in Jordan, and regrading the time you spent in Petra was shot because of the local guide, its not our company fault, because they are an official local guide from the ministry of tourism, and usually they spent only 3 up to 4 hours with the client, for amount of 80USD, but from our side we are always try to pick one of the best guides in Petra to avoid these kind of problems. As long our driver gave the clients the right information about the local guide, and the entrance fees amount, and general information about the country and the place they are visiting, he did most of his part. Local guides can't be all of them good and also not all of them bad in Petra, but the client can spend as much time as he/she wants at the site, no one can force him/her to finish the visit, but if the local guide did that, we are very sorry for that. i hope you understand that is not our fault because sometimes we are forced as company to pickup one of the guides who they are waiting their turn.

Driver got me there and back on time...

Francisco A, Dec 2017

Bader mi conductor es una persona excelente, es muy simpático y hace que la experiencia valga la pena. Organizaron la excursión solo para mi, cosa que no hacen otras compañías y todo fue muy cómodo y agradable. Hay que tomar en cuenta que el costo de la entrada a Petra es adicional y cuesta 50 JD
