About this activity

Experience Petra day tour from Amman. Your tour driver will pick you up from your hotel in Amman. Then drive 3 hours towards the Red Rose City of Petra, the biggest attraction of Jordan. At the visitor center you driver will guide you to the ticket counter or to a local guide that you can hire for your tour.

Petra was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs, a nomadic tribe who settled in the area and laid the foundations of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. Upon arrival you will begin the trip on horseback to the canyon, the so called Siq, and then by foot to the most beautiful monument: the Treasury. Among other monuments you will see are the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh’s Castle. Petra was also chosen to be one of the New 7 Wonders of the world.

After the visit is finished, we will drive you back another 3 hours to your hotel in Amman after enjoying a day trip to Petra from Amman, Jordan.

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.

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.
