This 3 day Petra tour from Amman gives you what a rushed day trip cannot: two nights in Petra and a 2-day entrance ticket. You land at Amman airport, a private driver takes you south, and a guide leads you through the rose-red Nabatean city on a full day visit. On the last day you have free time, with the option to go back into Petra on your own, before a private transfer back to Amman.
Day 1 is arrival day, with a meet and greet at Queen Alia International Airport or pickup at your Amman hotel, then a private transfer to your hotel in Petra. Day 2 is a full guided day inside the ancient city. Day 3 starts with breakfast and free time, including a second visit to the site if you like, and ends with a private transfer to Amman at 16:00.
This 3 day Petra tour from Amman suits travelers who fly into Jordan and want Petra without racing the clock. It also works well for photographers and anyone who has heard that one day in Petra is never enough. Sleeping in Petra means you start the big day fresh, and the second ticket day lets you return to the corners you loved or climb to the viewpoints you skipped.
Pickup is on your arrival day at Amman airport or your Amman hotel, so send us your flight details after booking. You stay two nights in a Petra hotel with breakfast, priced per person in a shared double room for 2 or more travelers, or as a single room if you travel solo. 4-star and 5-star upgrades are available as extras, and the booking form shows the exact price for your option and number of travelers. Because the hotel nights are pre-paid, the tour is non-refundable. Want more of Jordan? Compare our 4 day Petra tour from Amman, browse other 3 to 5 day tours or see all Jordan package tours.
