Itinerary

Take a camel or horse ride: Taking a camel or horse ride through Petra is a great way to see the city from a different perspective.

In addition to these activities, travelers will also have the opportunity to walk through the Siq, a narrow gorge that leads to the city center, & explore the many other sights & attractions that Petra has to offer.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom: This group of seven sandstone pillars is one of the most iconic landmarks in Wadi Rum. The pillars are named after the book of the same name by T.E. Lawrence, who described them as "the seven most perfect pillars of rock in the world." Lawrence's Spring: This natural spring is said to be the place where T.E. Lawrence camped during the Arab Revolt. The spring is surrounded by towering cliffs & offers stunning views of the surrounding desert. Lawrence's House: This small house is said to be the place where T.E. Lawrence stayed during the Arab Revolt. The house is located in a remote area of the desert & offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Khazali Canyon: This narrow canyon is home to a variety of ancient rock carvings, including petroglyphs & inscriptions. Mushroom Rock: This unique rock formation is shaped like a mushroom. The rock is a popular spot for taking photos and is also a popular climbing spot.

Mogamed Bardaghawi was a very helpful, knowledgeable and considerate driver and he shared a lot of information with me about the places we were visiting and answered many if my Jirdanuan cultural questions! I employed his services through R&H Transportation Services for 3 entire days !

As a solo female , I am really be careful on which tour I pick. But today , the driver Mohamed makes my tour so easy and safe . He also very knowledgeable, nice , polite and caring . I would love to choose this tour again if I have a chance to come back to Jordan .
5A lifetime memory
If you are short on time in Jordan - Do this tour! Everyone in the company was extremely catering and friendly! Our driver to the sites Bardaghawi was very insightful into the history and culture as we safely travelled into the desert. Our guide Nail Hamadeen provided great care to us being the first time Anyone in our circle of family or friends have been to Jordan. He great rich but clear details on the culture & history of the Nabataeans. He also did his best to shield us from haggling which is to be expected at these sites which we appreciated. The tour guide also offered us two alternative routes to Petra - giving the option of easy, normal or tough hiking options! This was brilliant as we enjoyed the hike. Wadi Rum was beautiful and made very easy with zero stress so we could enjoy a beautiful sunset in the red desert as we sat on the very comfortable seating. I would Highly recommend this tour. The company and service was S* star!
5Unforgettable Land of Jordan
Bardaghawi gave us clear and fast response, providing multiple options to experience Petra (at an extra cost) as you need a guide for the Backdoor route doing the Monastery first instead of The Treasury. Great care was put, lots of water! Always reminding us of travel parts, kind and enthusiastic. Both Petra and wadi rum where absolutely beautiful and operated smoothly If you are short on days but want maximum use of a day this is a certified opportunity 5/5.
