Petra
Around 09:30 you will be matched with your private guide from the Visitor Centre Petra and start to visit the astonishing rock city. This fascinating ancient Nabatean capital dominated the Arabian trade routes, and is a must see in the Middle East. You will pass the Siq, a narrow gorge where you get the first close views of the colorful sandstone, ending at the beautiful Treasury. Walk along the Street of Facades to the Royal Tombs, the Theater and Qasr Al Bint. Here the guide says farewell to you. Free time on your own, then walk the same way back to the entrance gate. The average time customers spent in Petra is 5 hours, but certainly you are free to shorten or extend the length of your stay. Restaurants you find inside and around the main gate of Petra Archaeological Park.

5.00Petra Night Tours provided a fantastic service. My driver Oqbah was a personable & knowledgeable man, and as the day tour from Amman required around 5 hours (round trip) sitting in a (nice and modern) vehicle, his engaging conversation enabled the time to pass quickly. The guide at Petra (Ali) was an experienced and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Petra is an amazing place with a ancient history. I highly recommend anyone to use PN Tours as they were impressive from the initial booking stage in Australia, providing me a great platform to experience Petra, right through to the final drop-off at my hotel.

5.00Quite simply an awesome day and one that I will not forget in a hurry. Petra blows one’s mind but thanks to a superb driver, Mohamaad and my guide, another Mohamaad (Alfarajat) it was more than an experience. Mohamaad Alfarajat is a class act with such patience, knowledge and pure professionalism - thank you.
Wonderful day trip to Petra!

5.00As promised at the time of booking, we were picked-up from our hotel at 7 AM for the 3 hour-drive to Petra in a comfortable car with air con, wi-fi, water and a short stop at the halfway point for coffee. The journey went really quickly as our driver, Oqba, is very knowledgeable and answered our many questions about Jordan, Amman and Petra. He also went out of his way to show us interesting sites on our way to Petra such as the smallest hotel in the world. We visited Petra with a guide and it was great to have him talk us through the history of this site which is much bigger than we had expected. We only wished we had selected an overnight stay in Petra because there is so much to see, in particular if you enjoy walking/hiking. March is a perfect time of the year to visit as the temperatures are not too high. The site is huge and we were able to take many pictures alone at the front of the Treasury without other tourists. We felt completely safe during our visit of Petra and our stay in Jordan. Friends and family have already booked their trip after seeing our pictures 😊 We would recommend to visit as soon as possible!
Excellent Tour & Transfers by Petra Night Tours (PNT).

5.00Me & my friend (2 girls) had visited Jordan with PNT tours... Our trip was wonderfully organised & well taken care with smooth transfers b/w Amman, Petra, Wadi rum & Dead sea. Mr Oqba is an excellent driver, who not only drove well but also guided us & explained about the places and significances ... Had a comfortable & memorable trip... Highly recommend PNT who are looking for trips in Jordan.
Great trip to Petra

5.00Awesome experience. My driver Oqba was very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned a lot about Jordan during the drive to and from Petra. Good communication with the operator and punctual pick-up. Petra itself is amazing. It was good to leave Amman early at 7am, that way there were limited crowds in Petra. It was much busier by the time I left.
