أهلاً وسهلاً ahlan wa sahlan [welcome] · four days · the one that starts with a hike
The most expensive tour in this catalogue and the only one that starts with a guided hike: a day in the Dana Biosphere Reserve before Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea. Three nights, all of them different — Dana, Petra, and a bubble tent in Wadi Rum. It is a new listing with no reviews at all, which is the single most important thing to know about it.
01What actually happens
Dana is what makes this different from every other multi-day tour here: a biosphere reserve of layered rock and valleys, walked with a guide, before the trip turns into the usual loop. Meals are largely included, which is unusual too.
South off the highway into the reserve.
Valleys and viewpoints, with a local guide.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are in the price on this day.
A short leg compared with the rest of this trip.
The listing's words. Six hours or so inside the gate.
Breakfast and dinner included.
110 km east.
Across the desert floor.
A transparent dome in the camp. Breakfast and dinner included.
The long leg up the country.
Resort facilities are in the price on this tour, which they are not on the others. Lunch included.
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
$669 is the most this catalogue asks, and it buys the most: three nights, a guided hike, most meals and Dead Sea access that every other tour charges for at the resort. The entrance fee is the question the listing does not answer.
Real total, per person
≈ $754
Tour plus the three-day Petra ticket, if the ticket is indeed extra. 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.
You will not book a tour with no reviews.
This one has none at all. Everything above is read off the listing, not off anybody's experience of it.
Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea 2-Day, $249 and 1,529 reviews →You do not want to hike.
Day one is a guided walk in a reserve. Without it this is a three-day loop that costs less than half.
3-Day Private Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea, $257 →$669 is more than the trip is worth to you.
It is the top of this catalogue by a distance. The five-day tour is $189 less and includes its entrance tickets.

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.
It is a new listing with no reviews yet. This site prints that instead of a star, because a rating nobody has given is not a rating.
A biosphere reserve of layered rock and valleys, south of Amman and north of Petra. Day one is a guided hike there — the only walking day in this catalogue.
The listing does not say. Neither its Included list nor its Not-included list mentions an entrance fee at all, on a four-day tour that spends a day in Petra. Budget 60 JOD and ask before you book.
Mostly. Breakfast every day, dinner on three of them, lunch on the first and the last. That is more than any other tour here.
Free up to 24 h before, on GetYourGuide.
