Top Amman Unique Experiences

If you have time for one side trip from Amman, make it Petra. Carved 2,300 years ago by the Nabataeans, this southern Jordan UNESCO-listed rock city is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. This private tour whisks you there and back in a day by private air-conditioned vehicle and with an itinerary customizable to your wishes. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included, with optional local guiding at Petra at own expense.

Discover the ancient Nabatean city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a full-day, private trip from Amman. You'll make the 3-hour journey to Petra in the comfort of a private, climate-controlled vehicle, with the option to spend up to four hours exploring, entering the site on a winding path that passes between spectacular cliff walls. The driver can arrange a local guide upon arrival, or you can see Petra on your own before returning to Amman.

Located 140 miles (225 kilometers) from Amman, Petra once dominated the trade routes of ancient Arabia. Pass by Little Petra the Nabatean’s carvan stop before heading to the main city. Your visit to this hauntingly beautiful place begins with a walk through the Siq, a narrow path that was once the main entrance to the city. An impressively long, deep and narrow gorge of stunning natural beauty, the Siq is hemmed in by cliffs soaring up to 263 feet (80 meters) , and measures three-quarters of a mile (1.2 kilometers).

Explore an ancient desert city—and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—on a full-day, private tour from Amman to Petra. Unlike group tours with a fixed itinerary, this trip gives you the choice between a full, guided tour of Petra and a transport-only option, each with flat-rate pricing that’s a cost-effective alternative for groups of up to seven people.

Visiting Petra in a day from Amman is tricky without a car. Use this full-day chauffeur service to travel with ease between the two. Meet your driver at your Amman hotel and depart in a WiFi-equipped vehicle. Enjoy time to independently explore the ancient city of Petra before returning with your driver to Amman.

Experience the wonders of Petra undistracted by transport worries on this private day trip from Amman. Avoid dealing with cabs or hire-car companies; and reach the 2,300-year-old rock city by private, chauffeur-driven vehicle instead. Then, enjoy a tour of the highlights accompanied by a local guide—hired at the gate—to ensure you learn their history and spot detail you might otherwise miss. Admission and guiding are at your expense.
