Petra
The red rose rock city Petra is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This ancient wonder is the biggest attraction of Jordan and was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs. This nomadic tribe settled in the area and laid the foundation of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. Walk on your own – or if selected with your private local guide – through the canyon, the Siq, ending in front of the most beautiful monument: The Treasury. Following the main trail you see other colourful sandstone buildings like the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh’s Castle. It is also worth it to climb the 800 stairs to the mighty Monastery El Deir, the path winds up just behind the restaurant area. El Deir is not included in the standard guided tour, but it is easy to follow the path on your own. Return via the main trail to the entrance gate.

5.00My guide Taysseir made my trip to Jordan. He was the best tour guide I could of hoped for. He shown me places all over Jordan that just made my trip absolutely unforgettable. Thanks so much for making my trip as good as it was

5.00First trip to Petra and couldn't fault the experience. The driver was on time, very polite and told me that if i needed to stop at any time for food/drinks etc it would not be a problem. The guide i had waiting for me spoke perfect english, was very informative and never seemed to try and rush me. He also gave alot of insight such as the history, the meaning behind certain parts and what other routes i could take on my way back that would not be too long. Is a great place to visit but be warned, there will be ALOT of people trying to sell you goods such as clothing, jewels, donkey rides and to guide people on non approved paths etc I was told just to say "no thank you" and that seemed to work
What a great surprise!

5.00Tayseer had been designated our driver from Amman to the Dead Sea a couple of days before. We had no expectations before we met as it had been booked for us. What we learned about Jordan through Tayseer's eyes and stories in such a short commute made us book for the Dead Sea to Petra tour with him! It has been such a pleasure to learn all the interesting facts from Tayseer in such a passionate way. The provided car was great too! Highly recommended
Amazing Petra Tour guide

5.00We had Tayseer as our guide and he was just incredible. He first gave us a transfer from Amman hotel to Dead Sea. We learnt so much on this small transfer that we booked Petra day tour with him. His knowledge is incredible and he just a really nice guy. Would highly recommend and will always use Tayseer on every visit to Jordan.

5.00Jerusalem very nice all history and it is easy to enter the country, people are very friendly, the dead sea is something unique that you have to visit our driver helped us to have a very nice experience, Petra is something indescribable, we touched it snow and always the driver very attentive in everything, Gerasa is something unique that you do not understand how they could get to build it in their time and our driver showed us in the best way, our driver OQBA was always very attentive, Good and the best companion we could have recommended it very very nice person and we will always remember it tried so hard to give us a good Service that took us to know the Boulevards of Jordan as extra, thanks for everything OQBA. See you soon, buddy.
Driver was on time and courteous

4.00The drive from the dead sea, Jordan side is about 3 hours. it is up hill and made us a bit car sick. Petra itself is huge, it is actually a city. The building that i often depicted is the what they call the treasury, but there are many similar carvings. Many were grave sites. Wear comfortable shoes, it is basically an old city along a trade route and the walk is hilly, rocky and long. The 5 miles is the minimum. there are parts where you can hike up the mountain to see up close to carvings or panoramic views.

5.00Our guide knew all the secret paths and how to get the most out of the tour. He got great pictures. Be ready for an active hike. If your are not in top condition, take the donkey up to the temple! I'm not kidding! But walk down.
Great service and communication

4.00Booked very last minute, and petra night tours where amazing, got it all booked and easy payment process. Our driver Ehab was wonderful and we had an Arabic lesson with him on the journey at our request. The tour guide at Petra Ali Masadeh, was also very knowledgeable, on the history and site, knew all the best spots fr photos off the beaten track and was happy to help.
