How the tour flows, stop by stop.
Private vehicle picks you up from your Amman hotel or Queen Alia Airport. A 3-hour drive south (~235 km) along the Desert Highway, with WiFi and water on board.
Walk the Siq to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), see the Royal Tombs, the Roman amphitheater, and the rock-carved facades of the ancient Nabataean city.
Continue south to the Wadi Rum desert reserve — the Valley of the Moon. Red sandstone monoliths rise from the rust-colored sand as you arrive.
Explore the desert — optional 2-hour 4×4 jeep safari to see rock bridges, Lawrence's Spring, and panoramic dunes. Tea with the Bedouin if time allows.
A 3.5-hour drive back north. Drop-off at your Amman hotel or the airport — your choice. Arrive back the same evening.
One day is enough to see the highlights of both — the Treasury, Royal Tombs, and main trail at Petra (about 3 hours), plus a desert visit and optional jeep safari in Wadi Rum. It's a full, fast-paced day. If you want to climb to the Monastery at Petra or sleep in a desert camp under the stars, consider a 2-day tour instead. But for travelers short on time, a day tour covers the essentials of both icons.
About 3 hours inside Petra. That's enough to walk the Siq, reach the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), see the Royal Tombs, and explore the main valley. It is not enough for the Monastery climb, which adds 2–3 hours round trip.
It depends on the option. Option 2 includes Petra and Wadi Rum entry tickets plus the jeep safari. Option 1 (transport only) does not — you pay the Petra entry fee (50 JOD / $70) at the gate, or use a Jordan Pass which covers it.
Yes. The Desert Highway is a well-maintained main road and the route is straightforward. Jordan is considered very safe for tourists. That said, many travelers prefer a private driver so they can rest during the 3-hour journey and not worry about navigation, fuel stops, or the return drive after a long day.
Yes — airport pickup is included at no extra cost. The airport is about 209 km from Petra (~2.5 hours), and it's on the way south, so you can head straight to Petra after landing. Just provide your flight details when booking.
It's fully private — just your group in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your own driver. No sharing with strangers, no fixed group schedule. You can adjust timing and stops as you go.
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are ideal — mild temperatures for walking Petra and comfortable desert conditions. Summer can be very hot at midday; winter is quieter but cooler. The tour runs year-round.
Rated 5.0 on GetYourGuide.
“Perfect day trip — our driver picked us up right on time and got us to Petra early before the crowds. Having a private car meant we could set our own pace. Wadi Rum in the afternoon was the perfect contrast. Long day but completely worth it.”
“Excellent value for a private tour. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable, the car was comfortable with WiFi, and we never felt rushed. Seeing both Petra and Wadi Rum in one day was exactly what we needed with our short stay in Jordan.”
