Petra And Wadi Rum In One Day, From $117

Two of Jordan's three headline sights in fourteen hours: 235 km down the Desert Highway to Petra, about two and a half hours inside, then 110 km east for a jeep run in Wadi Rum and the long drive back to Amman. $117 per person, 4.9 from 833 reviews — the second most reviewed Petra tour leaving Amman. Private or group; 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

Fourteen Hours, Two Deserts

Roughly nine of the fourteen hours are road. What that buys is Petra and Wadi Rum on the same day, which is the only way to see both without sleeping south of Amman — and the reason the day starts at six.

≈ $244

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. −

    You want time inside Petra.

    Two and a half hours is the Treasury and the walk back. The day trip that does Petra alone gives you about four.

    Petra Full-Day Private Tour, $84 →
  2. −

    You want to sleep in Wadi Rum, not drive past it.

    This is a jeep run and a long drive home. A night in a camp costs less than you would guess, and halves the Petra ticket.

    Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea 2-Day, $249 →
  3. −

    Fourteen hours in a vehicle is too much.

    Nine of them are road. There is no version of Petra and Wadi Rum in one day that is not mostly driving.

    Petra alone, eleven hours, $84 →

07Questions with a figure in the answer

Petra And Wadi Rum In A Day, 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.

How Long Is The Day, Really?

Fourteen hours, of which roughly nine are road: 235 km to Petra, 110 km on to Wadi Rum, then the long leg back to Amman.

How Much Time Do I Get In Petra?

About two and a half hours inside the gate. The Siq alone is 20–25 min each way, so it is the Treasury and the Street of Façades, not the Monastery.

Is The Petra Ticket Included?

The listing does not say. Most day tours in this catalogue offer entry fees as an add-on at booking; this one is silent, so assume 90 JOD at the gate and check before you pay.

Private Or Group?

Both are offered on the same listing; the price shown is the group rate. Pick the option on GetYourGuide before you pay.

Can I Cancel?

Free up to 24 h before, on GetYourGuide.

08Decided?

Two Deserts, Nine Hours Of Road. If That Trade Reads Well, Go.

Yalla [let's go]. Free cancellation for 24 h. Or take the 2-day loop for $249 instead.
