Private Day Tour To Petra And Wadi Rum, From $131

Petra and Wadi Rum in a private car in one long day, for $131. Two reviews. That is not a rating, and this page is not going to print five stars as though it were: the same day, from the same city, is sold by two other operators with 833 and 324 reviews behind them.

01What actually happens

Eleven Hours, Two Deserts, Two Reviews

The shape is the standard Petra-and-Wadi-Rum day: south on the Desert Highway, a few hours at the Treasury, east to the sand, and the long drive home. What is unusual is how little is known about how it actually runs.

02The "from" price is not the cost

What It Costs, In Full

$131 buys a private vehicle and both stops. The listing offers entry tickets as an add-on, which is worth taking if you are not sleeping in Jordan — 90 JOD at the gate is more than a fifth of the trip again.

Real total, per person

≈ $258

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. Two reviews is not enough to book on.

    It should not be. The same day from the same city has 833 reviews at $117 and 324 at $133.

    Petra & Wadi Rum, private or group, $117 →
  2. You want more than two hours in Petra.

    Fitting Wadi Rum into the same day is what costs you the time inside the gate. A Petra-only day gives about four hours.

    Petra Full-Day Private Tour, $84 →
  3. You would rather sleep in the desert than drive past it.

    Two days with a night in Wadi Rum costs $74 more than this and halves the Petra ticket.

    Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea 2-Day, $205 →

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.

Why Does This Page Warn About The Rating?

Because 5.0 from two reviews is arithmetic, not evidence. Two other operators run the same day with hundreds of reviews each.

Is The Petra Ticket Included?

Not in the headline price. The listing offers entry tickets as an option at booking; otherwise it is 90 JOD at the gate for a same-day visit.

How Long In Petra?

About two and a half hours. Wadi Rum on the same day is what costs you the rest.

Is It Really Private?

The listing says a private day tour, so the vehicle is yours. It does not include a guide inside Petra.

Can I Cancel?

Free up to 24 h before, on GetYourGuide.

08Decided?

Two Reviews. The Same Day Has 833 Elsewhere.

Yalla [let's go]. Free cancellation for 24 h. Or take the same day with 833 reviews, $117 instead.
