This was THE coolest tour ever. Our guide was wonderful and made sure we were super comfortable the whole time. Petra itself was unimaginably beautiful… probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. 10/10 perfect day

We had a wonderful experience with Maalem Al-Urdun Travel and Tourism Office! Hassan Al-Khatib was an excellent driver—professional, friendly, courteous, and very accommodating throughout our trip. The car was comfortable, the service was outstanding, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We really appreciated Hassan's hospitality and his efforts to make our experience enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend Maalem Al-Urdun Travel and Tourism Office to anyone visiting Jordan. Thank you, Hassan, for making our day so memorable!
Mahmoud (fox) is awesome. So friendly and perfect English! Had a blast. Got plenty of tips for Petra and wadi rum. Our jeep driver kosai was also amazing and a pro photographer!
What an incredible day visiting Petra and Wadi Rum! Everything was excellent from beginning to end. Our driver, Hassan, was fantastic: punctual, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and on schedule. The transport was smooth and comfortable, the buffet food was delicious, and every stop was perfectly planned so we could truly enjoy each place. Walking through Petra and then watching the landscapes of Wadi Rum in the same day felt unreal.
I had amazing experience on this tour today with amazing people. Great food a perfect pace to be able to feel like I saw everything. I really wanted to see, but also desired to come back.!! it’s a great tour for groups of solo travelers
Perfect day with our guide Mahmoud Alkhawaja. Very organised and drives very safe.
it was a good tour, zeyad was quite friendly and he had a really good disposition to do everything, also he gave us some really good advices. I highly recommend this tour
Booking and coordination could not have been easier! Emad, my driver, was so friendly and knowledgeable and we ended up chatting the majority of our time in the car (3 hours each way). I would absolutely you Viator again and cannot say enough good things about Emad!
Saada was our driver and was very kind and would recommend! This was a very long day, but was worth it!
MAHMOUD ALKHAWAJA was a great and friendly guide, and the trip was great. He referred us to a local guide when we arrived at Petra, who we paid to tell us about the site and show us the best parts. I didn't realize this wasn't included, but it was important to have to local guide at Petra. Wadi Rum was really neat and the jeep ride (which was actually a truck bed ride) was exhilarating, a little dangerous but very very fun and beautiful. My only suggestion would be to find time for lunch, as there was no chance to eat from breakfast until about 4:30pm. So, people should bring something to eat or the tour operator could plan for time for guests to eat. We were all very hungry. I was glad I booked this trip and would absolutely do it again. If you have time, book a longer trip with this same tour operator.
Great itinerary if you want to do Petra and Wadi Rum in one day. Of course both locations deserve more time but it depends on your itinerary if suitable. Mahmoud excellent driver, very helpful and approachable. Highly recommend this tour, time managed well.
I cannot recommend Ziad highly enough. I traveled to Jordan in September 2023 for a tour, and while the country itself is absolutely beautiful, what truly made my trip unforgettable was the incredible hospitality and care provided by Ziad. During my trip, I faced some unexpected personal circumstances that completely upended my travel plans. It was a stressful situation to be in while navigating a foreign country, but Ziad stepped in without a moment's hesitation. He completely accommodated my sudden changes in schedule, handling all the logistics with absolute grace, flexibility, and professionalism. Beyond being an excellent, safe, and knowledgeable driver, Ziad truly felt like a trusted friend when I needed one most. He went far above and beyond his professional duties to make sure I felt safe, supported, and looked after. I will never forget his kindness and what he did for me during that time. If you are looking for a reliable driver who genuinely cares about his guests and knows how to navigate any situation, look no further than Ziad. Thank you for everything! - P&P
An absolute must-do if you want to see Jordan's top sites in one day. The logistics were smooth, the car was clean, and our guide Mamoud Al-Khawaja made sure we had an amazing time at both Petra and Wadi Rum. 10/10 service!
Excellent day trip to Petra and Wadi Rum. I was a bit apprehensive at first because I'm travelling solo and though I'd be amongst a group of couples and families. This was a small group tour consisting of four other solo travellers, Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our driver for the day Mahmoud Alkhawaja was great - super knowledgeable and an expert at driving long distances. It was a very long day of over 14 hours leaving my hotel at 05:30 and returning after 19:30; with three hours in the ancient city of Petra and around 70 minutes on the Wadi Rum desert jeep tour. A long day - yes. Exhausting at times - yes; especially walking through Petra in the 32C heat; but it was all totally worth it. The trip was well-paced and overall was a very enjoyable day when I made great memories and have some remarkable photos. Recommended!
Must Book this Tour!!!! It’s a perfect way to see both Petra and Wadi Rum!! Everything was magnificent just immersing myself in the ancient rock carved capital of Petra and exploring some of the sights was Amazing. Also the Wadi rum off roading jeep adventure was thrilling! Definitely ask for Zeyad. He was my driver and was so warm and kind and answered all my questions and gave great recommendations as well. Also, def request Qusey as your Wadi Rum guide. I asked for an adrenaline ride and Qusey def gave me an awesome ride. He’s funny and charasmatic and takes great pics! He’s proud of his Bedouin heritage as well. Thank you Zeyad and Qusey for making this Trip I will remember for a lifetime!
I really enjoyed my trip with guide Saada (Saedah). He was really experienced and professional! 10/10 would recommend him and this tour agency
We had a very good experience with our tour guide, Saada, he was knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire tour memorable. He shared many interesting details and made sure everyone felt comfortable.
The iternary was well plan. The driver Safwat was friendly, accommodating, always gave good advice how to enjoy the place better. It was a memorable trip and I highly recommend it.
: We had an amazing experience from start to finish! A huge thank you to our driver, Hassan Al-Khatib, for his professionalism, punctuality, and exceptional kindness. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire journey and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. A special thanks as well to Qusai, our driver in Wadi Rum. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the desert tour so much fun. His positive attitude and hospitality truly made our Wadi Rum adventure unforgettable. Thank you both for making our trip to Petra and Wadi Rum such a memorable one. We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Jordan!
This was a nice full day tour of Petra and wadi rum. Driver was cool and the van was new. Mahmoud was awesome
My day trip to Petra and Wadi Rum was an unforgettable experience, made truly special by my guide, Anees. From start to finish, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing his love for Jordan with genuine passion. Anees has a wonderful personality—full of kindness, character, and a great sense of humor—which made me feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the day. His enthusiasm, friendliness, and thoughtful approach turned an already amazing trip into a lifelong memory. If you’re looking for a guide who genuinely cares about his guests and goes above and beyond to make your experience exceptional, I couldn’t recommend Anees more highly!
good drive and service, driver is very professional, the experience is fluent and on time.
This was a perfect day trip for those who don’t have more time! I booked the group tour as a woman solo traveler and felt comfortable and safe the entire time. Anees was a fantastic, friendly driver and was very knowledgeable about the wider region. I wish I had more time to explore at Petra, but the three hours provided enough to see the main sites.
~Zeyad our driver was spot on picking me up nice and early. Sweetest person on earth drove us all the way to Petra and wadi rum and made sure we were comfortable. Amazing service from him. The Tour itself was amazing and you end up meeting Qusay a person who will make you laugh endlessly. Would book again. Thankyou for making my experience amazing.
This was an incredible experience and one of the highlights of my time in Jordan. Petra was absolutely breathtaking, and having a guide walk us through the history and hidden details made it even more special. Wadi Rum was just as unforgettable - stunning desert views, a fun jeep ride, and that peaceful, cinematic landscape you can’t find anywhere else. The entire day was smooth, well‑organized, and filled with genuine hospitality. If you want to see two of Jordan’s most iconic sites in one seamless, memorable day, this tour is perfect.
Anees was not only an amazing driver but a fantastic guide. The sights from Amman to Petra and then Wadi Rum were so beautiful. Exceeded our expectations.
The entire activity was awesome!! Definitely a must do in Amman. Driver was nice, car was nice, Jeep was nice.
Our day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum with Saada from Jordan Landmark Tours was absolutely fabulous from start to finish!!! He made my two daughters and I from the USA feel so comfortable and safe. We rode in a very nice, air conditioned car, and he had free water bottles to give us throughout the day. Plus he would stop whenever we 3 girls needed a restroom break. We have had many tours in other countries throughout the World, and Saada was so personable and his English is so very good! If we ever came back to Amman we would definitely have him as our driver again as he was one of the best drivers safety wise we have ever had! He is so knowledgeable in regard to Jordan’s history and everyday living questions, and we had many questions, and all he answered honestly and so we would comprehend. We cannot thank you enough Saada for the wonderful day!
We came to Jordan for 2 days and one day spent with Anees as our tour guide to Petra and Wadi Rum. He arrived to pick us up from our hotel on time. He was very pleasant, polite and made us feel very safe. Knowledgeable with the history and made us comfortable while on a long drive. Wad Rum - our tour guide was Kusai who drove us around and explained many historic spots. We recommended these trips 100%. Thank you! 🇯🇴
It was an amazing experience. I did the tour with a friend and we loved every moment of it. Mahmoud our driver was very kind and friendly. The Jeep Tour with our driver Qusaey was a real highlight! He was very friendly and informative and took us to the best spots to take pictures. Thanks a lot for the experience. I would definitely recommend booking the tour with them.
Saadeh was very professional, he explained everything in detail and was always on time, picking us up. The jeep tour was amazing! Highly reccomend it.
I joined the Petra and Wadi Rum jeep tour as part of a group option, but due to fewer tourists at the time, our booking was generously upgraded to a private tour at no extra cost. This made the experience feel much more personalized from the start. Our driver, Safwat, picked us up early in the morning and immediately set a welcoming tone for the day. He was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful throughout—providing drinks, sharing useful information, and making sure we were comfortable during the journey. We began with Petra, entering with our Jordan Pass. Although we had the option to book a guide through the tour company, we chose to explore independently. We spent about three hours there, visiting key highlights like the Treasury. While we didn’t make it to the Monastery, this was expected given how much time we spent enjoying the Treasury and taking photos, along with the tight schedule for the day. One tip: bring some cash in JOD, as certain viewpoints within Petra require separate cash payments not covered by the Jordan Pass. After Petra, Safwat picked us up promptly and we continued on to Wadi Rum. The drive itself was scenic, with several beautiful stops along the way. Upon arrival, we met our jeep tour guide, Qusai, who truly elevated the experience. He took us to multiple stunning locations, helped us capture great photos, and shared insights about the history and present-day life in Wadi Rum. Thanks to Qusai’s friendliness and enthusiasm, Wadi Rum ended up being our favorite part of the trip—even after being amazed by Petra earlier in the day. After the jeep tour, Safwat drove us back to Amman, wrapping up a long but incredibly rewarding day. Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations and gave me a deep appreciation for Jordan’s natural beauty. I only wish I had more time to explore other places like the Dead Sea. I would absolutely choose this company and these guides again without hesitation.
Hassan was my guide/driver. The car was clean and had outlets in the front and back seats. Hassan had wifi available, had bottled water for us and made sure we had bathroom stops. Prepare for miles of walking at Petra. During the jeep ride at Wadi Rum you make several stops for photos. There were bathroom srops along the way. This is a very long day but it is absolutely worth it.
Petra is a gem and worth every penny. We almost cancelled the excursion with everything going on but decided to go since we flew all of this way. Our guide promptly picked us up at 7am. The drive takes about 2.5-3 hours. He stopped half way there for a toilet break and snacks. When you arrive at Petra there is a visitor center. We chose to walk which took approximately 30 minutes downhill. It was a little chilly walking through the caves but very scenic. Then it opens to Petra like the movies. Not many people were there when we got there at 10am. You can takes pictures with the camels or chose to take a hike up to look down on it for a fee ($10-$15 JD). We stayed for about 2 hours which was plenty and paid $30 JD to take a ride in a golf cart back to the visitor center. Highly recommend this tour.
I had a great experience, especially thanks to our driver Ali. He was professional, friendly, and very reliable. His driving was safe and comfortable, and he made us feel welcome throughout the trip. Ali’s positive attitude truly made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
I joined a one-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our driver, Khalil Sway, was professional, friendly, and extremely attentive throughout the entire day. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of at all times. Petra and Wadi Rum were absolutely stunning — even more beautiful than I imagined. The landscapes, history, and atmosphere were simply breathtaking. I already feel like I want to return and explore even more. It was a fantastic trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jordan.
We recently went on the tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, which took us to Petra followed by Wadi Rum. Overall this was by far the highlight of our trip, we got to see some phenomenal sights, and this trip is definitely a must go- the Jordan experience is not complete without this! The views and experience is truly unique and the moments are unforgettable. Fitting in Petra and Wadi Rum in a day was absolutely perfect as we felt we got the full experience- seeing the Treasury upfront in Petra is not an experience to be missed, and we had a fantastic time on the Jeep safari tour in the desert of Wadi Rum. All in all great fun with excellent view points!! Warning- make sure to have enough camera storage space for all the photos / videos! We seriously we were not expecting to take the thousands of beautiful photos and videos that we took, not to add the extremely talented guides at Petra whose video taking skills are unmatched! From a tour operator service perspective, we were well looked after by our tour guide Ali who drove safely, managing time well and made sure we had sufficient toilet breaks and opportunities to eat given the long travel time. However, from a tour service perspective, given such an expensive price point for the tour, we were slightly disappointed as we would have expected more. As a primary example, everywhere we went to visit, we were expected to queue individually and pay separately for the entrance tickets. This took up quite a bit of our time, e.g. on arrival to the destination we would first need to run to the toilets (the drive was very long!) and then run to join the queue to buy tickets, which ate into a good 20 minutes of the precious 3 hours we were given. Likewise, for meals or breakfast coffee, this wasn’t included in our tour price and we were expected to queue individually and pay each time. We have never encountered this on any of our other tours. On our other tours, where we had been taken for food or drink, this was all included in the tour price, and where not, the tour guide would buy the tickets for us at the desk so we did not need to worry about sprinting ahead of other tourists to join the queue whilst being desperate for the toilet after such a long journey. Additionally, given the high price point, we would have expected basics such as water to be provided. We had this on all of our other tours but not this one. There were plenty of places to buy bottled water wherever we stopped, but just a stark contrast to our experience on other tours. All in all, given the price point I am a little disappointed in the tour service as more could be done to highlight what was not included in the package, as on top of the tour price we still ended up spending at least a hundred dinahs extra, buying entry tickets, paying for additional access to the best viewing platform of the treasury (a must do in my opinion though!), camel photos etc. Nonetheless, this was a totally breathtaking experience, and though we left with empty pockets, we are rich from the phenomenal experience.
No wonder, Petra is the new wonder of the world. The view is awesome and truely a place not to be missed when visiting Egypt. Will highly recommend to my friends and relatives.
Really great trip with amazing sites. Would really recommend!
We had such a great time. If you are lucky you will have Anees as your tour guide. He was waiting for us in the hotel lobby and from that point on we were treated like family. He is full of knowledge of this beautiful country and especially the area of Petra. We never toured Wadi Rum so I have no comment on that area. Petra is stunning and Anees made it even better.
Wonderful experience to Petra and Wadi rum A special shout-out and thanks to our driver today. His name is Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA. He has been an awesome driver and his personality is fantastic and so friendly. I got lost at Petra and exited from a different exit. Although pressured for time to pick the others, he went out of his way, to pick me at my "wrong" entrance location. For this, being a lost tourist unfamiliar with the local location, this has been so helpful, and he didn't leave me stranded. Please kindly recognise his top level service and driving level and if possible, please give him some financial incentives from the company to reward his good and kind efforts. Write a message
The driver Shadi was on time and very professional. He made sure everyone was comfortable and made the trip enjoyable. Would definitely use this company again.
Good for tourists who want to see two heritage sights in same day. Long day 10 hrs driving experience is 4 hrs
What an unforgettable experience! This tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Amman was absolutely incredible. My guide Yunis was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. It felt like a private tour since there were only two of us (both of us being solo travelers), which made the whole experience even more personal. The other person on the tour quickly became a friend, and we both had such a great time. We started the day early with a smooth drive to Petra. When we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream! The site was less crowded than I expected, and the anticipation leading up to the first view of the Treasury was magical. Petra truly lives up to the hype and more. I’ll never forget that feeling of awe. Next, we headed to Wadi Rum. Wow! This place is like being on another planet. The vast desert landscapes are just breathtaking. We even had the chance to meet and share tea with some Bedouins, which was a unique and memorable experience. The entire desert was picture-perfect and felt surreal. After all the sightseeing, we ended the day with a delicious buffet dinner. The entire tour was so well-organized, and our guide made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the day. I also really appreciated how he patiently waited while we explored the sites. Big props to him for driving all the way from Amman to Petra and Wadi Rum. It’s a long drive, and he made it seem effortless. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day. If you're planning a trip to Jordan, this tour is a must, and I particularly recommend Yunis as your guide! Thank you for making this such a special experience!
Our driver Mahmoud Alkhawaja was a great company during the trip. He was funny and helpful, took us to a great place to eat and didn’t rushed us in anything. He recommended us some fabulous restaurants and places in Amman and answered every question we asked. Thank you again!
An absolute outstanding day: the famous ruins and tombs of Petra with the added bonus of a slot canyon and amazing sandstone rocks scattered throughout a sandy desert. Our driver Mahmoud Alkhawaja took very good care of us, making sure we would not fall into one of the many tourist traps at Petra (and yes people tried). On the way back from Wadi Rum he suggested to try the buffet at Midway Castle which turned out to be excellent. We had 3 hours in total in Petra. Since I am a quick walker this was enough time to get up to the Great Temple, th byzantine church, and the Royal Tombs. If you prefer a more relaxed style, then you could still try to get up to the theatre, or the tombs. Clearly the jeep ride can be shaky, still we made 4 photo stops, so you will find the opportunity to take a couple of good shots.
If you are on short trip to Jordan, this experience is must. Our tour driver Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA was so helpful and accomodating
I had an amazing experience on this tour. Our driver, Saadeh was truly exceptional, very knowledgeable, kind, and patient throughout the entire long day. He drove us safely from Amman to Petra, then to Wadi Rum and back to Amman, and made sure we were comfortable at every step. In Petra he explained everything clearly and gave us helpful tips to make the most of our time. Afterwards, the Wadi Rum desert safari was absolutely spectacular. Saadeh really went above and beyond, always checking on us, answering every question, and guiding us with genuine care. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Jordan. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Time management and order of sites visited are well arranged. The tour driver Anis from Jordan Landmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Nice gentleman to chat with on the long drive. Very pleased with the tour
The driver (sorry I didn't ask about his name) is professional, arriving on time and driving smoothly, talking little but clearly. He didn't ask, not even hint at tips. We appreciated his excellent job and enjoyed the tour.
