Private Petra Tours From Amman, All 8, Compared
8 of the 16 tours are private throughout, from $84 to $669. Private buys you the car and the driver, not a guide inside the site; the Petra ticket is still 50 JOD with a night in Jordan and 90 without.
The honest line: we print the minuses as loudly as the pluses. Stay a night, pay 50 not 90.

01How we choose
How We Chose These 8
The same rule as the full catalog, applied to private departures: 50 or more reviews, or the only product of its kind. 8 qualify.
- 1A tour is listed if it has 50 or more reviews on GetYourGuide, or if it is the only product in its category. When it is the second kind, the card says so, in plain words.
- 2A rating is never printed without its review count. Two reviews is not a rating; those tours sit in the quiet group at the end, with the reason printed.
- 3Prices are "from" prices on 2 Sept 2026, per person unless the row says otherwise. Red on this page means one thing: book.

06Read before you book
Four Things The Price Does Not Say
Four traps we see in every "from" price on this page. Each one is a line in the listing you have to read yourself.
- Trap 1
Guide vs Driver
Most "private tours" are a driver who waits at the gate. Only 203380 prices a licensed guide inside Petra.
- Trap 2
Per Vehicle vs Per Person
The $93 airport transfer is per vehicle; group tours are per person. Compare the total for your party, not the tag.
- Trap 3
Tent Grades
Classic, deluxe, bubble. Here the bubble-tent loop ($205) is cheaper than classic/deluxe ($249). Grade is not price.
- Trap 4
Entry Fees
The Petra ticket is rarely included: 50 JOD with a night in Jordan, 90 same-day, 55 for two days, 60 for three. Jordan Pass 70 / 75 / 80 JOD.
07Questions & answers
Choosing A Petra Tour, Answered Short
How Many Petra Tours From Amman Are There?
We list 8 that meet our rule (50+ reviews, or the only one of its kind): 8 Petra tours from $84 to $669, plus one hub of short private trips out of Amman from $84 that is not a Petra tour and is labelled as such. GetYourGuide lists more; most have too few reviews to judge.
How Do I Pick Between A Day Trip And Two Days?
One question: do you sleep in Jordan? A night drops the Petra ticket from 90 to 50 JOD and adds Wadi Rum. A day trip is 6–7 h on the road for one afternoon inside.
Can I Change Or Cancel After Booking?
Every tour here cancels free up to 24 h before on GetYourGuide. A date change is a cancel-and-rebook.
What Happens If It Rains?
Petra closes the Siq in heavy rain because of flash-flood risk, and the risk is real in winter. What we can promise is the booking side: every tour listed here cancels free up to 24 h before, so a bad forecast the day before costs you nothing. What the operator does on the day — reschedule, refund or continue — is set per listing; read the cancellation section of the one you pick.
Is The Petra Ticket Included?
Usually not. Budget 50 JOD if you sleep a night in Jordan, 90 JOD if you come and go the same day. Each listing states its inclusions in the "What’s included" section; where a tour does include the ticket, its card here says so.
Why Is A 5.0 Tour In The Quiet Group?
Because it has 2 reviews. We print the count next to every rating, and we do not rank on two opinions.
