Explore the rose-colored city of Petra after pick up from your central Amman hotel, settle into your air-conditioned comfortable vehicle with your English – Speaking Driver, who doubles up as your guide on your journey to and from Petra, UNESCO – listed Heritage and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Enjoy a 2-hour guided tour of Petra, a rock city cut into a sandstone valley 2,000 years ago. Walk towards the “Siq” entrance canyon, and behold the rose-tinted Treasury, visit the Royal Tombs, the Theater, and more like the Byzantine Church. Proceed back to Amman for a panoramic tour of Amman’s top attractions including the Citadel viewpoint, the Roman Theater, the downtown souks, and views of the city's mosques, churches, and historical Jabal Amman and Jabal Al-Webdeih ancient quarters, besides proceeding to the new modern part of Amman’s capital.

Highlights

  • ✓Walk through the Siq—a dramatic 1.2km canyon entrance carved into rose-colored sandstone
  • ✓Marvel at Petra's Treasury facade and Royal Tombs, carved 2,000 years ago
  • ✓Discover the Byzantine Church and ancient Theater within Petra's rock city
  • ✓View Amman's Citadel hilltop fortress and Roman Theater ruins
  • ✓Stroll downtown souks and spot historic Jabal Amman quarters

Insider tips

  • ★Petra's light is best in early morning (before 10am) when the rose-colored facade glows deepest—arrive early to beat crowds and heat
  • ★Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes; the Siq has uneven stone paths and the site involves 2–3km of walking over varied terrain
  • ★Bring 2+ litres of water and sun protection (hat, sunscreen); shade is minimal in the canyon and open areas
  • ★Request your driver skip the Amman leg or shorten it if you prefer more time exploring Petra's lesser-known monuments

Good to know

  • •Pick-up and drop-off from your Amman hotel (central locations) are included; confirm your address and time the night before
  • •Air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver/guide for both Petra and Amman sections
  • •Petra entrance fee (typically 50 JOD/USD 70 for foreign adults) is NOT included—pay on-site or ask supplier about pre-booking
  • •Moderate to high fitness level needed: 2–3 hours of walking over uneven, uphill rock paths in Petra
  • •Tour runs 11 hours total; typical departure 7–8am, return by 6–7pm; confirm exact timing with supplier
