Fantastic way to explore Petra

Luke_P, Jan 2026

We had a fantastic day exploring Petra from the Dead Sea with our driver Bardaghawi. He messaged us the day before to confirm a pick up time and arrived at our hotel on time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable pointing out points of interest and stopping a few times on the way to take in the amazing views. On arrival at Petra he instructed us where to go and let us explore it at our own pace we just needed to message him when we wanted picking up. In my opinion this was a great way to see Petra as we weren't tied down to another people could explore at our own pace and really just enjoy the experience, thanks again Bardaghawi!

Wonderful way to experience Petra

Jonathan_C, Jul 2024

We booked a tour with a pickup from Hilton Dead Sea Resort with all entrances and a guide pre-booked at Petra. Anas was our driver and he was exceptional. The drive was comfortable and smooth with some interesting stop-offs along the way. His knowledge of the history of Jordan and Petra was excellent and made the 3 hour drive pass by very quickly. At Petra he came with us to sort the tickets and introduce us to our guide for the day. After a great tour Anas was waiting to collect us for the drive back to the hotel. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Petra transportation

sheennamrogers, Sep 2022

This tour is strictly transportation to and from Petra, from the Dead Sea. That being said, our driver was very kind, pleasant, and professional. This option gave us a more personal experience that avoided touring Petra with a larger crowd, slowing us down, and allowing us to maximize our time in Petra.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Driver was excellent and...

Paul_C, Jul 2022

Driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. Drove safely and gave excellent information on Petra before we entered.

Michael_I, Jul 2016

The driver was a wee bit early, but that worked out becqause he let me stay a couple of hours later at Petra. Swift, friendly driver had all sorts of details about the area, since he was from the area! And on the way home he inspired me to take the Dead Sea tour the next day! A good deal.
