Our tour offers an accurate and exciting description of Petra, encouraging travelers to book an unforgettable experience.
Located 140 miles (225 kilometers) from Amman, Petra was once a significant force on the ancient Arabian trade routes. Your journey begins with a stop at Little Petra, the Nabataeans' caravan stop, before proceeding to the central city.
The visit to this hauntingly beautiful place starts with a walk through the Siq, a narrow and impressively long, deep gorge of stunning natural beauty. This was once the city's main entrance, hemmed in by cliffs that soared up to 263 feet (80 meters) and measured three-quarters of a mile (1.2 kilometers).

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This tour company truly exceeded my expectations, especially as a solo female traveler. I felt safe, respected, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire trip. Shadi was incredible—reliable, kind, professional, and always respectful. His presence made the journey effortless and so enjoyable. Jordan is magical, and this company made the experience unforgettable. I’m deeply grateful for this trip and highly recommend it. A must-do for anyone visiting Jordan.

Incredible Day Trip in Jordan

5.00The day we arrived, Bardaghawi picked us up from the airport in a modern car with AC. He was on time and waiting for us. The car also had wifi which was great. He provided extremely great hospitality by providing water and snacks for the ride to the hotel. On our day trip, we visited Petra and Wadi Rum. Our driver, Bardaghawi, picked us up from our hotel. The car was stocked with waters for the hot day and even making an effort to let us try Arabic coffee which was great! Throughout the day, he was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about Jordan. He was extremely kind and willing to make any needed stops. We had a great time visiting Petra with the tour guide and riding the safari in Wadi Rum. Both sites are incredible. I would highly recommend this tour and tour agency. We felt very safe in Jordan and enjoyed our time. We are looking forward to coming back in the future.
Wonderful way to experience Petra

5.00We 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.

5.00Anas 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.

5.00If you don’t have a lot of time, this trip is for you (we opted just for the transportation). Mohammad was our driver and he was great! Very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and provided us with a portable wifi to take into Petra. He picked us up right on time at one of the Dead Sea hotels and drove us to Petra along the Dead Sea highway. Stopping along the way to take amazing photos of the Dead Sea and the surrounding areas! We drove through the mountains with stunning views of the valleys and dessert. Ask for Mohammad, highly recommend him. Yalla!

5.00Amazing place and we have the best driver (Shadi). He is thoughtful, he explained us interestings facts about the places we visited, also history about amann and he answered every question we had. Definitely we had the best driver and guide!!! The car was in the best conditions and the car had wifi! The weather was so hot, fortunately he offered us bottles of water all the way. We felt very comfortable with the service. I recommend this agency and of course if you have lucky, Shadi will accompanying you. Tip: if you don’t have a lot of time, use the backdoor tour (from little Petra).
