Full-Day Tour To Petra From Amman, Private Or Group, From $95

Eleven hours from Amman to Petra and back, sold as either a private car or a seat in a shared one — you pick at booking. $95 per person, 4.9 from 166 reviews. Eleven dollars more than the private-only day trip, with one difference that can matter more than the price: the listing offers the Petra entrance ticket as an option, and that ticket is 90 JOD on a same-day visit.

01What actually happens

Eleven Hours, Three Of Them Inside

Seven hours of road for three at the gate is the standard bargain of a Petra day trip, and this one makes it at the bottom of the price range. What you choose at booking — private or shared, ticket or no ticket — changes the day more than the $95 does.

05The honest line

Who This Tour Is Not For

If one of these is you, leave this page having decided against it. That is the page working.

  1. You want the car to yourself and will not read the options.

    Private is a choice on this listing, not the default. Picked wrong, you are in a shared vehicle on somebody else's schedule.

    A private-only day, no options to get wrong, $84 →
  2. You want a guide inside Petra.

    This listing contradicts itself about whether one is included. The guided day trip does not.

    Private Petra Day Trip with a licensed guide, $187 →
  3. You mind paying 90 JOD for a 50 JOD gate.

    Same-day visitors pay the higher rate whatever tour they book. One night in Jordan is the only thing that changes it.

07Questions with a figure in the answer

Full-Day Petra Tour, Answered Short

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.

Private Or Group — Which Am I Getting?

Whichever you select at booking. The $95 headline is the lower of the two; check the option before you pay.

Is The Petra Ticket Included?

Only if you add that option on the listing. Otherwise it is 90 JOD at the gate for a same-day visit, 50 JOD if you have slept a night in Jordan.

Is There A Guide?

The listing says both — "local guide services" under included and "local guide hire from visitor center" under not included. We would assume a driver and ask before booking.

How Long Inside Petra?

About three hours, in an eleven-hour day. Enough for the Siq, the Treasury and the Royal Tombs; not the Monastery.

Can I Cancel?

Free up to 24 h before, on GetYourGuide.

08Decided?

Eleven Hours, Three Inside. Read The Options Before You Pay.

Yalla [let's go]. Free cancellation for 24 h. Or take the private-only day for $84 instead.
