Petra And Wadi Rum, Private, From $133

The same fourteen-hour shape as the $117 tour — 235 km to Petra, two and a half hours inside, 110 km east for a jeep run in Wadi Rum — with the vehicle yours for the whole day rather than shared. $133 per person, 4.9 from 324 reviews. Its GetYourGuide listing does not state what the price does about the Petra ticket, so budget the 90 JOD same-day rate until you have checked.

01What actually happens

The Same Fourteen Hours, Nobody Else In The Car

What $16 buys over the group version is the vehicle: your pace at the gate, your stops on the road, and no waiting on the slowest person in a minibus. The road time does not change.

Real total, per person

≈ $260

Tour plus the same-day ticket, before lunch, guide and tips. 1 JOD ≈ $1.41.

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. The private car is not worth $16 to you.

    The group version runs the identical day for $117 and has 833 reviews against these 324 — it is the more proven of the two.

    Petra & Wadi Rum, private or group, $117 →
  2. You want the Monastery, or a guide who explains it.

    Two and a half hours inside is the Treasury and the walk back, and "private" here means the vehicle, not a guide.

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

    One night anywhere in Jordan halves it. On a same-day trip the ticket costs more than the tour.

07Questions with a figure in the answer

Petra And Wadi Rum, Private, 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.

What Does Private Actually Mean Here?

The vehicle and the driver are yours for the day. It does not include a licensed guide inside Petra — nobody walks the Siq with you.

How Is This Different From The $117 Tour?

Same route, same stops, same road hours. That one is sold as private or group; this one is private throughout. $16, and 324 reviews against 830.

Is The Petra Ticket Included?

The listing does not say. Assume 90 JOD at the gate for a same-day visit and check at booking; 50 JOD applies only if you have slept a night in Jordan.

How Long Is The Jeep Run?

About an hour and a half in Wadi Rum before the drive north. It is a taste of the desert, not a night in it.

Can I Cancel?

Free up to 24 h before, on GetYourGuide.

08Decided?

Your Car, Your Pace. The Road Is Still Nine Hours.

Yalla [let's go]. Free cancellation for 24 h. Or take the same day for $117 instead.
