• 5Easy way to see Petra from Amman

  Easy, straightforward way to get to Petra from Amman. Driver was on time at the hotel, and was very friendly throughout the long day. Ideally I would say to do the 2-day tour if it's available so you can see wadi rum and the Dead Sea, but even "only" seeing Petra was plenty for me in 1 day. Amazing experience.

  Such an Amazing experience. My Journey stared at 6am. I booked the full day tour to Petra from Amman through Viator and it was an amazing experience! Petra itself was absolutely amazing and definitely a must-see. The journey was smooth and comfortable, my driver Ashram made the whole trip even better. He was punctual, professional, and very friendly. Highly recommended doing this again. I recommended Ashram as well

• 5An Absolutely Amazing Day in Petra

  We had a truly exceptional one-day tour to Petra, and every aspect exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, our **driver was excellent**. He was punctual, incredibly professional, and very friendly. He ensured a smooth, comfortable, and safe journey throughout. He was also knowledgeable and happy to share insights about Jordan along the way. The **vehicle arranged for us was perfect**. It was modern, impeccably clean, very spacious, and had strong air conditioning—which was a blessing after a day of exploring. It made the long drives to and from Petra relaxing and enjoyable. Of course, **the site of Petra itself was breathtaking**. It's an absolute wonder of the world, and no photos can do justice to walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury for the first time. The history and scale are simply mind-blowing. We maximized our day hiking to the main highlights. In summary: a fantastic driver, a top-quality vehicle, and one of the most incredible sights on Earth. This tour was perfectly organized and we felt well taken care of from pick-up to drop-off. Highly, highly recommended for a seamless and unforgettable Petra experience!

About Amman

Amman, Jordan's capital, spreads across a series of hills, with Roman ruins, crowded downtown souks and a warm welcome at the start of any Jordan journey.

The Amman Citadel crowns Jabal al-Qal'a with the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace and sweeping views over the city. Below, the Roman Theatre, carved into the hillside, seats thousands, and the downtown souks around the Grand Husseini Mosque sell spices, gold and sweets, with the scent of coffee and cardamom in the air.
