The driver was great .. prompt and a clean car ... once you get there you have too many people chasing you around to do this or that and pay them money! Just be prepared to say no thank you, a lot!

This site was the best ever wonder I have viewed The 5 out of seven Mexico and Prue to go can’t wast Seeing Petra was out standing and better than expected
So good! I was so happy with this experience - recommended by a close friend in Australia, Viator provided great options and I chose the group transport to Petra Visitor Centre. Very good price and I understand it is very competitive due to lack of tourism currently. Geopolitics make us better travellers! Our driver was amazing, so punctual and amicable. I got joined up with a Japanese gentleman and we enjoyed the trip in silence - wonderful. Sometimes you need to contemplate the landscape only. Our driver provided information regarding many aspects of the experience, very helpful. Highly recommended!!
A wonderful day. Picked up punctually from the hotel and driven in a clean, comfortable car to Petra. Mahmoud was friendly and gave a lot of useful tips on the way there which maximised my experience. Petra is truly a wonder.
Such a lovely day with Mohammed to Petra! He is punctual, friendly, and is thoughtful on explaining how to maximize time and experience for the big city of Petra and to cater to your desires. Very trustworthy and considerate guide, 5+ stars!
Arrived on time with great comms. Happy to accommodate stops along the way if required. Super flexible and happy to share his knowledge of the area.
Mahmoud was GREAT. Friendly, attentive, and warm. The tour started sharp on time, car was clean, and gave us plenty of time in Petra. Started 0730 and was back in Amman by 1700. I recommend everyone to do this tour with Mahmoud.
Yuones was really nice and friendly. Gave me a lot of tips for when inside Petra. Highly racommanded guide.
We had a great day touring Petra in Feb2026. We booked through Trip Advisor. I think it's the one titled Full Day Trip to Petra. We purchased the package which included the Petra tickets and saved some time upon arrival. Our driver Khalil was very nice with a nice car and helped us secure a great guide upon arrival. The guide's name is Wasfi and we highly recommend him. His cost was about $70USD. His excellent knowledge and explanation of what we saw enhanced our trip and understanding of the depth and history of Petra and its surroundings. We skipped the Monastery due to lack of time and it seemed to us that to fully do it all, you need to spend two days there. We did see a nice IHG hotel at Petra so if we go back that could be an option. The drive from Amman is about 3 hours and seemed to take forever so bring something to do in the car. There is not much to see along the drive but the vast desert is quite something to behold.
Great day trip to Petra. Faisal was a great driver for the trip, arrived early and picked me up on time at Petra.
We booked a trip from Anmman to Petra. The driver kept in contact with by text so he picked us up from the hotel. Petra is a three hour drive we had a comfort stop half way. On arrival at Petra our driver allowed us as much time as we needed and just to text him when we wanted to be picked up. This enhanced the trip as we were not clock watching all day as you can never be sure how long it takes walking back up the hill The journey back was very similar to that going. Also I had accidentally left a cable in the car and it was returned to the hotel without any fuss. Our driver was Mahmoud and was excellent
Anees drove us to Petra from Amman for the day. He is a very good driver and the car was comfortable. But most of all, he is a wonderful human being and we loved talking to him about his country. Highly recommend if you need a driver.
Ibrahim, was an excellent driver and tour guide. Whilst the trip was long he provided excellent advice on how to maximise my 4 hours at Petra. Would highly recommend.
I had Faisal Abu Rashed as my driver to and from Petra. Faisal told me about the history of Petra and the surrounding area and offered tips for places to visit, advice for hiking through Petra smoothly, and where I should go the next time I visit Jordan. Faisal helped me get a guide at the Visitor's Center and truly made the experience as smooth as possible. Petra doesn't have as many visitors in January so it's a great time to visit if you want few crowds and plenty of room to take photos of the site.
Our driver Saada was great. The drive to and from Petra was uneventful. His pick for a meal on the return hit the spot/
Wonderful tour, Saada was great. On time, very professional, excellent English and very nice. Highly recommend
Mahmoud Awad, our driver, was punctual, professional and caring. He made sure that we were comfortable throughout the trip.
I had a great trip to Petra for the day from Amman. What a beautiful site Petra is and I will definitely go back in the future. The driver Tareq Colombia was a top man and he gave me lots of good information on the journey to and from Petra.
It was a very enjoyable experience. Our driver was Faisal whom in the way to Petra explained to us about Jordan’s history, its current situation, about its economy, and Petra’s history as well. His English is very good and I was able to translate it everything to my family in Spanish. I recommend this experiencia 100%.
I went to Petra from Amman with Ziyah, the experience was perfect, he picked me up on time, told me about Jordan culture during the 3 hours trip, gave some tips for my walk in Petra and on our way back offered me some additional views of the mountains, I definatelly recommend Ziyah for tours in Jordan
My Driver Faisal was on time and very helpful. Knew exactly where he was going. Told me what to except while visiting Petra. The site was excellent. Enjoyed my time.
We requested a stop mid way to stretch which he gladly did at a place which had clean facilities, snacks and lots of trinkets. He dropped us off and met us at the front at the end of our day. He offered but didn’t push for a local guide. We booked the drive only. Highly recommend!
Awesome experience with super professional driver. Our driver was respectful and helped us with everything we needed.
This was an awesome way to check out Petra and Southern Jordan from Amman. My driver Muhammed J was an excellent driver. On the way to and from he’d point out other sites along the way that we could swing by quickly to see. He was very flexible and full of useful information. Muhammad would drop me off and when I was ready I’d send him a message and he would come and pick me up. It’s not only Petra or Wadi Rum, other small sites along the way are options you can determine how long or short you’d like to be there. Just keep in mind that you have to be back in Amman by a certain hour. Why wait along with a tour group when you can set your own pace and have a pro get you to and from places.
A perfect day from start to finish! Our guide and driver made the long drive enjoyable with stories about Jordan’s history. Petra was breathtaking — every turn revealed something new and beautiful. The organization was excellent, and I truly felt relaxed and secure the entire trip.
Petra is simply spectacular, and is completely worth the drive from Amman. My driver Mohammed was a gentleman and is a very experienced driver. The drive from Amman is 3 hours however the pleasant conversations with Mohammed made the time pass quickly. I highly recommend this trip.
Very good service! The road from Amman is not short but thanks to our driver Ramzi everything went very well. He also helped us find a guide who knew our language and helped us navigate in Petra
An unforgettable journey to one of the world’s wonders! Everything was handled perfectly — from pickup to drop-off. The driver was professional and gave us helpful tips to make the most of our time in Petra. The site itself is breathtaking, and I appreciated how smooth and safe the entire trip felt. Truly a well-organized experience worth every minute.
Thanks to Hasan Alkhateeb he helped us a lot during the journey to Petra. It was pleasure to go with him. Absolutely Recommended.
3hrs car travel each way with 4hrs to explore Petra. Driver Mohammed on time and very happy to chat in English. Excellent Jordanian coffee.
The full-day tour from Amman to Petra was absolutely incredible. Everything was perfectly organized, and our driver was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the history of the site. Walking through Petra’s ancient streets and seeing the Treasury up close was breathtaking. I always felt safe, and Jordan’s hospitality made the experience even more memorable!
Petra is beyond words — it's something everyone should see at least once. The tour was perfectly paced, giving us enough time to explore without feeling rushed. The car was clean and comfortable, and our driver Khaled was friendly and always helpful. What stood out the most was how safe and welcoming Jordan felt from the moment we started.
A remarkable day exploring Petra! The tour was extremely well-organized, and our driver ensured everything went perfectly. Petra’s monuments are more stunning in person, and the entire day felt stress-free and secure. Jordan’s beauty is beyond words
Ahmed fue un excelente conductor y gran guía hablamos en árabe e inglés durante el camino y con excelente gusto musical para el camino. Lo recomiendo mucho. Ahmed was an excellent driver and great guide. We spoke in Arabic and English along the way and with excellent musical taste for the road. I highly recommend it.
Amazing day trip that has been on my bucket list for years. My driver Tariq gave some great suggestions that saved time and allowed me to enjoy Petra even more fully. Note: free shuttle back to the visitor’s center took much longer than expected. It would’ve been faster to walk back through the main path instead of waiting for the shuttle to fill up and take mandatory 15-20 minute breaks for shopping.
Picked up at my hotel in Amman. We checked out several amazing lanarks and unique stops on the way to Petra. My driver ( (Hassan) was friendly and professional. I really enjoyed my day trip.
Had an amazing trip to Petra. My driver, Hassan Al-khateb, was on time, friendly, flexible and made the ride memorable. Provided a lot of good tips too! Everything went smoothly and I got plenty of time to explore. Highly recommended!
This tour was amazing. Our driver, Hassan Al-Khateb was super friendly. He made sure to provide WiFi, water and coffee throughout the day which was a great personal touch. The experience in Petra was also very easy, thanks to his guidance. The driving felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you for the company Al Amal for providing such a great driver and for everything running so smoothly. I highly recommend this tour.
Driver Mohammed was amazing was happy to stop and get us water along the way. Petra was amazing and lived up to all expectations
Driver/Guide Hassan al-Khatib was a spectacular resource that enabled planning of a one-day trip to Petra from Amman. Landmark was well organized, offering a clean, well appointed car with WiFi and beverages. Highly Recommend for both long and short trips in Jordan.
I had the pleasure of taking this trip today. Mr. Hassan Al-khateb was very professional and wonderful. He was amazing. He showed up promptly at my hotel early in the morning and he made me feel at home. As a tour guide with over 18 years experience, he is nothing but a walking encyclopedia. He explained in detail all that I need to know from the beginning of the trip to the end. Petra was amazing. It is no doubt that it is listed as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. I recommend Petra for everyone and also to select a wonderful tour guide called Mr. Hassan Al-Khateb.
Wadi Rum and Petra are a must go for visiting Jordan! Ramzi was very helpful throughout the tour and explained areas with history. Highly recommended for solo / group travelers!
I went to Petra with my driver Faisal! Petra, off course was an amazing experience but I also enjoyed speaking with Faisal to and from, it’s a 3 hour drive one way, and I think we got to know each other a lot! Petra itself is a must see, it was a tough experience going all the way up to the monastery though. Not for the weak! I gave up and ended up riding the mule there and back haha even riding the mule was a workout. I really enjoyed the experience and the people i met throughout my time in Jordan. I will let everyone know when I go back to my country 🇯🇵
Petra deserves all the praise it gets — absolutely breathtaking. This tour made it easy to enjoy without any hassle. Pickup was on time, the vehicle was clean and air-conditioned, and our driver, Firas, made the long drive enjoyable with great conversation and local tips. Jordan’s roads and tourist spots felt very safe and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this company for first-time visitors!
We had the best experience with our driver Mahmoud (aka Fox)! The car was spotless and very comfortable, and he arrived right on time. Throughout the trip, he gave us so much helpful information about the journey and how long each part would take. He even made thoughtful stops halfway through so we could stretch, shop, and grab snacks, which made everything feel easy and enjoyable. The whole day was calm, pleasant, and fun, we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. On top of that, we learned so much from him during the trip. It was such a great experience, and we would definitely book again with Mahmoud in the future. Highly recommended!
Our driver Saada was kind enough to give us a fase and comfortable time in a car to and back from Petra!
I had an outstanding experience with Ramzi during my recent trip to Petra. The drive lasted over two hours, and from start to finish, Ramzi was the perfect host—punctual, professional, and incredibly friendly. What made the journey truly memorable was Ramzi’s deep knowledge of the region’s history and culture. As we traveled, he shared fascinating stories and historical context about the areas we passed through, turning a simple transfer into an enriching, informative experience. It felt like a private tour rather than just a drive! The vehicle was spotless and very comfortable, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. Ramzi’s passion for what he does really shines through, and it made a big difference in my overall trip. If you're booking transportation and want someone who goes above and beyond, ask for Ramzi. You won’t be disappointed!
Had a great day trip with my driver Fox down to Petra and back from my hotel in Amman. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. The vehicle was very comfortable and I would repeat in a heartbeat
Petra was more than we ever imagined — absolutely stunning! The tour was well-paced, and our driver, Omar, was punctual, informative, and very polite. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We were amazed at how secure and welcoming everything felt. Jordan is a gem of the Middle East!
Today we did a Petra trip from Amman with Safwat. Such a beautiful day. He was prompt, friendly and informative and the drive was great and he set us up with a great guide for throughout Petra. We feel so fortunate to have come and see this wonderful place.
