Petra is a gem and worth every penny. We almost cancelled the excursion with everything going on but decided to go since we flew all of this way. Our guide promptly picked us up at 7am. The drive takes about 2.5-3 hours. He stopped half way there for a toilet break and snacks. When you arrive at Petra there is a visitor center. We chose to walk which took approximately 30 minutes downhill. It was a little chilly walking through the caves but very scenic. Then it opens to Petra like the movies. Not many people were there when we got there at 10am. You can takes pictures with the camels or chose to take a hike up to look down on it for a fee ($10-$15 JD). We stayed for about 2 hours which was plenty and paid $30 JD to take a ride in a golf cart back to the visitor center. Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience to Petra and Wadi rum
A special shout-out and thanks to our driver today. His name is Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA.
He has been an awesome driver and his personality is fantastic and so friendly.
I got lost at Petra and exited from a different exit. Although pressured for time to pick the others, he went out of his way, to pick me at my "wrong" entrance location. For this, being a lost tourist unfamiliar with the local location, this has been so helpful, and he didn't leave me stranded.
Please kindly recognise his top level service and driving level and if possible, please give him some financial incentives from the company to reward his good and kind efforts.

The driver Shadi was on time and very professional. He made sure everyone was comfortable and made the trip enjoyable. Would definitely use this company again.
Paul_V, Feb 2026
Good for tourists who want to see two heritage sights in same day. Long day 10 hrs driving experience is 4 hrs

What an unforgettable experience! This tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Amman was absolutely incredible. My guide Yunis was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. It felt like a private tour since there were only two of us (both of us being solo travelers), which made the whole experience even more personal. The other person on the tour quickly became a friend, and we both had such a great time.
We started the day early with a smooth drive to Petra. When we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream! The site was less crowded than I expected, and the anticipation leading up to the first view of the Treasury was magical. Petra truly lives up to the hype and more. I’ll never forget that feeling of awe.
Next, we headed to Wadi Rum. Wow! This place is like being on another planet. The vast desert landscapes are just breathtaking. We even had the chance to meet and share tea with some Bedouins, which was a unique and memorable experience. The entire desert was picture-perfect and felt surreal.
After all the sightseeing, we ended the day with a delicious buffet dinner. The entire tour was so well-organized, and our guide made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the day. I also really appreciated how he patiently waited while we explored the sites.
Big props to him for driving all the way from Amman to Petra and Wadi Rum. It’s a long drive, and he made it seem effortless. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day. If you're planning a trip to Jordan, this tour is a must, and I particularly recommend Yunis as your guide! Thank you for making this such a special experience!

An absolute outstanding day: the famous ruins and tombs of Petra with the added bonus of a slot canyon and amazing sandstone rocks scattered throughout a sandy desert. Our driver Mahmoud Alkhawaja took very good care of us, making sure we would not fall into one of the many tourist traps at Petra (and yes people tried). On the way back from Wadi Rum he suggested to try the buffet at Midway Castle which turned out to be excellent.
We had 3 hours in total in Petra. Since I am a quick walker this was enough time to get up to the Great Temple, th byzantine church, and the Royal Tombs. If you prefer a more relaxed style, then you could still try to get up to the theatre, or the tombs.
Clearly the jeep ride can be shaky, still we made 4 photo stops, so you will find the opportunity to take a couple of good shots.

If you are on short trip to Jordan, this experience is must. Our tour driver Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA was so helpful and accomodating
Ivett_S, Feb 2026
I had an amazing experience on this tour. Our driver, Saadeh was truly exceptional, very knowledgeable, kind, and patient throughout the entire long day. He drove us safely from Amman to Petra, then to Wadi Rum and back to Amman, and made sure we were comfortable at every step.
In Petra he explained everything clearly and gave us helpful tips to make the most of our time. Afterwards, the Wadi Rum desert safari was absolutely spectacular.
Saadeh really went above and beyond, always checking on us, answering every question, and guiding us with genuine care.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Jordan. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
HAO_F, Feb 2026
The driver (sorry I didn't ask about his name) is professional, arriving on time and driving smoothly, talking little but clearly. He didn't ask, not even hint at tips. We appreciated his excellent job and enjoyed the tour.

Good tour with driver Hassan Al-khateb from Landmark Tour. Comfortable car and nice views in Petra and Wadi Rum.
annette_p, Feb 2026
Even though a long day was a great experience. Ultimately anyone needs more than four hours at each place. But this gave us a taste and we want to come back. Driver was professional and we enjoyed this company.
Natalie_M, Jan 2026
The day requires a lot of travel, however the driver and guides provide knowledge and a generosity that more than compensates.
Sabi_S, Jan 2026
Please be aware that this company willl attempt to scam you. We paid for an excursion from Amman to Petra and wadi rum as advertised in the title, description, internry AND timings of the tour.
Whilst driving towards Petra we were told that there was small print on the booking which stated the tour was for Petra only.
I explained that the title states Petra and wadi rum, the itinerary stared wadi rum, the tour duration was 12-14 hours which would not be the case for Petra only.
We were told 1 hour from Petra that we could get a refund if we decided to go back home after 2 hours, see nothing, and book another tour.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour and treatment of guests in Jordan. Very disappointed and I’d really avoid this company and go with someone else as for the same price there’s no small print and wadi rum is included. I have checked.
Avoid avoid avoid.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Pls check your reservation
It’s only Petra
You choose the option for Petra only and want to take Petra and wadi rum .
Daniel_M, Jan 2026
Everything was perfect, Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA is the best, gave us some awsome restaurants suggestions, really woth it
Kevin_M, Jan 2026
Overall it was a good trip but even the driver agreed that including Wadi Rum is pushing it too far. You spend most of the day in the minivan. It is about 7 or more hours driving. Not much to see in Wadi Rum. Petra is amazing and I’d advise you to do a Petra only tour to allow you more time there as there’s a lot to see and take in.
Masey_C, Jan 2026
Great experience overall. I was picked up right on time and dropped off at the same location, which made the day very smooth. The driver was efficient with time and helpful whenever needed. The schedule was well planned—there was plenty of time to see both Petra and Wadi Rum in a single day without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for a well-organized day trip.
Deborah_R, Jan 2026
An absolute must do trip and a perfect taster for Petra and Wadi Rum. Majd was a wonderful guide, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and a proud Jordanian who shared so much about the history of this beautiful country. Petra and Wadi Rum really need days to explore therefore if you can't manage a longer trip this day trip is perfect. Would highly recommend!
BRETT_C, Jan 2026
My driver, Safwat, contacted me the day before and arrived a little early to collect me from my hotel, which I liked. He was most helpful in making sure my experience was the best it could be making several recommendations and suggestions along the way.
Petra was everything I had hoped it would be - magical, mind blowing and magnificent. Time only allowed for a few highlights (remembering it’s a 4hr drive back to Amman), but that was perfectly fine.
If you can hold out to have lunch at the Wadi Rum visitor centre then do so - the food was incredible and only 12JD for the most delicious buffet. My personal recommendation would be the fish; the chefs own recipe!
Yaed was my driver for Wadi Rum. What a legend he was. A young Bedouin man full of excitement and pride as we hooned around the many spectacular sights on the back of his Toyota Hilux. I loved every minute of it.
This tour was beyond what I had expected and was the best private tour of all my travels this season.
It truly deserves a 20/10 rating!
M_G, Jan 2026
Amazing day our guide Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA was amazing. Very funny, kind, generous, good driver, nice music, very considerate and helped us to make maximum usage of time with information and advice how to manage each location and doing business with locals. Loved this tour and we will be back!
Carlos_M, Jan 2026
Great experience. The driver, Saqer, was punctual, courteous, and patient. Sami, our guide in Wadi Rum, was quite entertaining and knowledgeable. Well organized tour. Wadi Rum and Petra are breathtaking.
Nicholas_F, Jan 2026
Long but enjoyable day from Amman, taking in Petra (incredible) and Wadi Rum. Great service from my guide/driver who provided a superb experience. Would highly recommend.
Alkis_H, Dec 2025
Mansour David is a very friendly and knowledgeable driver. We had excellent communication and arrive at all locations on time and with minimal hassle. Petra and Wadi Rum are both amazing, although it's a long, long day if you choose to do both in one day. The jeep ride at Wadi Rum was also good, and was included in the price.
Only downside, the cost was pretty high but we got everything we booked, so no complaints.
Slawomir_M, Dec 2025
It was very good! We travelled by car from Amman to Petra. Our driver and guide was truly professional
CarlosCarrion, Dec 2025
Alaa Alyassen is absolutely amazing! Not only is he an excellent and very safe driver, but he is also a friendly, attentive, and professional tour guide. During our tour we faced heavy rain and fog, and Alaa handled everything with total confidence and care, making us feel safe at all times. He was incredibly helpful and always willing to go the extra mile.
Petra and Wadi Rum are simply breathtaking. Truly once in a lifetime destinations and having Alaa as my guide made the experience even more special. I highly recommend booking a private tour with him. You won’t regret it!

If you have a chance to ask for someone, ask for Mahmuod Awad. He was so kind, had a wealth of knowledge on anything we asked, and gave us time to explore. We never felt rushed and the ride was comfortable, safe, and clean. We saw an unfortunate accident between a huge truck and car happen behind us on the way to Petra. Not only did Mahmuod Awad ask if we could stop, which we absolutely said yes, but he ran to the car to make sure everyone was alive. He called the police for help and they arrived really quick. Everyone was alive and got out safe with a few scratches. Petra was great! Be careful for the Bedouins who sell items in Petra. They will tell you they are honest and ask you for a price, give you a “gift” and say they are single mother’s. They sound kind but the items are not worth what they are asking. If you are buying it with US dollars, it cost more. I bought something that was 170JD and it was $240 in US. For what I got, wasn’t worth it and I returned it. They’re not aggressive or hostile, but they guilt you and will tell you all types of things just to buy something. It’s better to buy what you want at the airport.
We didn’t get to go to Wadi Rum unfortunately but we were compensated. Overall, great experience with Mahmuod Awad!!
Ramzi_R, Dec 2025
Tremendous time with a lovely group of people and Mahmoud Alkhawaja! Very punctual and well organised compact day.
KinWai_L, Dec 2025
Tareq — aka Columbia — has been an amazing guide and driver! He’s funny, super easy to talk to, and made the whole journey really comfortable (the car even had WiFi!). He also helped us take some amazing photos along the way.
Inside Petra, we hired a local guide named Ammar for a short horseback ride. He brought us up to the top of Petra for an incredible viewpoint and took tons of great photos for us. Later, we did a two-hour jeep ride in Wadi Rum — I thought it would feel long, but it honestly flew by.
100% recommend this tour and Tareq to anyone looking to do a same-day Petra trip from Amman!
Deep_B, Dec 2025
Although was scammed to take guides inside Petra, and the guide and her agent basically robbed us, just to walk till Treasury, even when we were given atleast 3hrs inside Petra; I am still giving 4/5 just becuase of the driver assigned. He was a gem of a guy, and according to him, he wasnt aware of the above scam, and knowing it, he did his best to make the rest of the day better. Kudos to the guy, thus a 4. Otherwise, please dont scam tourists on forcing guides. These trips are already booked with high prices, let us atleat enjoy the day, and make the money worth

Visiting Petra is not a quick trip....its hours of ooo's, argh's, wow's, and many photos.
Be prepared to walk down into the Canyon to experience the magic around every corner. Walk or catch the buggy back to start.
