أهلاً وسهلاً ahlan wa sahlan [welcome] · three days · the loop with Jerash on it
The classic three-day loop with the Roman city of Jerash added at the top of it — the only tour in this catalogue that does. $315, $58 more than the three-day without Jerash. 5.0 from 26 reviews, which is under the 50-review line this site uses, so read them yourself.
01What actually happens
Jerash is 50 km north of Amman and the classic loop runs south, so adding it means a morning going the wrong way before the trip turns around. That is the trade: a Roman city for a slower start.
Colonnaded street, oval forum, two theatres.
Back through Amman and down the Desert Highway.
Night one at Petra's gate.
The Siq, the Treasury, the Royal Tombs; the Monastery if you start early.
Night two.
110 km east.
The Valley of the Moon.
Float at −430 m on the way home.
Drop at your hotel.
Times marked ≈ are derived from the 06:30 pickup and the 3–3.5 h run down the Desert Highway; the operator confirms the exact hours at booking.
02The "from" price is not the cost
$315 buys three days, two nights and four sights. The listing offers an all-inclusive option that folds the entry tickets in — worth pricing against paying at each gate.
Real total, per person
≈ $400
Tour plus the three-day Petra ticket, before Jerash, the beach fee, lunches and tips. 1 JOD ≈ $1.41.

05The honest line
If one of these is you, leave this page having decided against it. That is the page working.
Twenty-six reviews is too thin for you.
It is under the 50-review line this site uses before it will call a rating meaningful. The three-day without Jerash has 62; the two-day has 1,529.
Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea 2-Day, $249 →Jerash is not worth $58 to you.
It is a Roman city, not a Nabataean one, and it is north while everything else is south. The same three days without it cost less.
3-Day Private Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea, $257 →You want the most time possible inside Petra.
A morning at Jerash is a morning not at Petra. This loop gives about a day there; the one without Jerash gives eight hours or more.

07Questions with a figure in the answer
Reviews: none printed. Quotes appear only verbatim from GetYourGuide with the reviewer's name and month; until three are harvested, the section does not exist.
Jerash is about 50 km north of Amman and Petra is 235 km south, so the first morning goes the wrong way. The Roman city is the payment for it.
Only if you take the all-inclusive option — the listing's line is “Entry tickets (if all-inclusive option selected)”. Otherwise Petra is 60 JOD for three days and Jerash has its own gate.
It is good and it is thin. This site treats anything under 50 reviews as a rating that has not settled yet, and says so rather than printing the stars and moving on.
Two nights in Wadi Musa, at Petra's gate.
Free up to 24 h before, on GetYourGuide.
