Full-day Trip In Petra From Aqaba

Very good experience. Visiting Petra is a must. About the experience with Viator, I am disappointed because of transportation. As soon as seated in the car the driver told me that the booking was for 7 hours, the 8 hours indicated was because he had to prepare the car and clean before (this is not my problem). He explained that the tour would go from hotel to visitor center and that in 3 hours there I only will be able to see 4 things there (3 hours is according him few time), so he offered me to leave me in the second entrance of Petra to allow me seeing 13 monuments, and the cost for taking me there is 30 JOD (because he had to drive 20 kms go and 20 back). The real is that he drove 4 kms go and 4 back, in 5 minutes and I had to pay an extra 30 JOD. He lied to me and I have to pay that extra . Even he was angry when paying for not giving a tip, after paying 30 JOD for 5 minutes. I felt really disappointed. My suggestion is visiting Petra but do it by yourself......

I had an absolutely great experience.Loiy organized a mile ride and to take me to Wati Rum in the afternoon. Everything was seamless. I saw it all. Thank you. It was expensive but my time was critical. And so worth it😁

Overall the driver was very helpful, honest & clear , he saved us from a bunch of drivers who looked greedy and we definitely recommend this driver & his tours , we did tours in aqaba , even during the crisis in middle east ,he was helpful and didn't take advantage of us.

Great experience. Very good and nice driver!🤙🤙

The best way to see Petra !!! "We had an incredible day exploring Petra, and it was all thanks to Loiy Ekrayyem Hayel Al-Mawadieh. Not only was he a safe and professional driver, but he also shared fascinating history about Jordan during the drive. He knew exactly when to arrive to beat the tour bus crowds and recommended a fantastic local restaurant that we never would have found on our own. He made our trip stress-free and truly memorable. 10/10 would recommend!"

Excellent Driver! Comfortable ride. Knowledgeable Driver! Highly recommend. Very timely! Entertaining! Thank you O!

The Petra experience was an awesome trip from start to finish. Our driver Odai Hamideh "What's apped" us several days prior to the day of the trip to confirm the pickup location and time. His time was flexible because he asked us what time did we want to leave. Also we stayed in Aqaba outside of the pickup zone and he still was able to pickup us for a small fee. Once we got to Petra Odai recommended to take us around to the back entrance and go in there and end up at the main entrance when we were finished. That was a great idea because we got to see more and did not have to backtrack. Once we entered Petra we hired donkeys to take us up to the monestary and back. That was great because we covered more ground quicker. After that we continued our way through Petra taking in all of the beautiful structures along the way. Once we arrived at the Treasury we took a club car back to the entrance and that was recommended by our driver also. This is a remarkable place to visit and pictures do not do any justice. My advice is to enter in the back of Petra take the donkey for a distance and continue making your way to the main entrance because you can see more with less walking. Trip of a Lifetime!

AMAZING!! it was incredible... Petra is so breathtaking and well worth the walk! Our driver was really friendly spoke great english and was happy to stop as and when we needed. He suggested dropping us off at the end of the city, to walk back into petra, so we could see ALL of the sites not just the main treasury ( India Jones!). This took about 3hrs as a leisurely pace and saved us having to walk back another 3hrs! We were lucky, it wasn't busy at all. We got there at midday! Take plenty of water, as it's pretty dear there! There are plenty of toilets along the way to and little shops for last minute snacks. You pick up a map and follow it to see all 13 sights. Super easy! We got the Jordan pass, so this was included saving us the 50JD fee. The little market outside wasn't too pushy and let you look at leasure. As in all a fantastic day out and we'll worth the money. 10/10!

He was an awesome ride and suggested another route to take in Petra, his suggestion made our trip a whole lot better and enjoyable! I 100% recommend taking this trip!

Very helpful, respectful and knowledgeable driver. I recommend Mr. Odai to be your host in Aqaba. Очень рекомендую я Одая. Отличный водитель, всё объяснил и показал в Акабе.

The trip was very beautiful. We stayed at the Ayla Hotel and it was very beautiful. We visited Wadi Rum and Petra with a wonderful transportation service and the workers were nice, respectful and patient with us.

He was a great and careful driver. It was a fun trip with him. His car was very clean. I thank him very much and advise everyone to try the trip with this driver 👏

We had a lovely trip to Petra. A comfortable ride from Aqaba to Petra. The car is clean and nice. The driver was very friendly and gave us useful tips and suggestions for our travels in Jordan. Highly recommend.

During my experience visiting one of the seven wonders of the world (Petra), I had a courteous driver who had a lot of information for the tourist and an excellent tour guide who had a high spirit and had the best service in the field of tourism. It was truly one of the most beautiful trips in my life.

It was a very beautiful trip, very stunning views, very nice treatment, a modern car with free internet service, I recommend it

This trip was a bad experience, which was surprising given the good reviews. First issue was taking advantage of naive foreigners: the driver stopped on the way to Petra at a roadside store ostensibly to use the restroom and let us look at gifts at the giftshop. In the end we discovered that the driver was friends with the shop owner, and the shop was selling INCREDIBLY overpriced items (75x the price for the same items we saw later that day in Petra). They absolutely preyed on unknowing foreign travelers. Back underway to Petra, the owner was immediately, keenly interested in knowing how much we spent there. Second issue: this is supposed to be a 3-hour visit in Petra, sufficient to see the sights. However, we were immediately told that it would take 6 hours to see Petra unless we paid to get driven up to and dropped off at the Monastery (Ad Deir) and that route would take 4 hours. Essentially, we were told there was no way to take a 3 hour trip and that we would have to pay more either way. For this 4 hour version, we were obligated to pay an additional 25 JOD ($35 USD) per person (not per car). This "4 hour" version also required an additional 5 JOD shuttle fare. This trip ended up costing $85 USD more than advertised for 2 people. I do NOT recommend this service.

A great trip to wonderful Petra. Excellent views and a beautiful hike to the monestary. Really nice driver with nice suggestions for our day at Petra.

Many thanks to the driver. He was with us throughout the trip. He was very kind and spoke excellent English. I recommend him

The distinguished driver in Aqaba was very cheerful. His car is modern. There is a Wi-Fi service in the car. I recommend that everyone who wants to come to Jordan contact him.

Great experience oday was very helpful. Not only did we do the trip but he helped me organise the rest of my stay in jordan and was my personal driver for every trip. Must recommend

I went with my sister and Odai gave us a ride. He is a great driver, kind and professional, and he plays nice music.

A very nice trip with this fun driver. We were very happy and I highly recommend it to anyone who comes to Jordan

I highly recommend this driver. It was a very wonderful trip. I was happy to meet this driver. It was an enjoyable trip
