View tourJordan Package Tours
This Petra tour from Amman is built for travelers who fly in and out of Jordan's capital and want Petra done properly, with two days at the site instead of a rushed few hours. A driver meets you at the airport, you get a guided first day in Petra and a free second day to explore on your own, and three hotel nights with breakfast are included.
Day 1 is your arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and the transfer to your hotel in Amman. Day 2 is the drive south to Petra and a guided walk through the Siq to the Treasury, before check-in at your Petra hotel. On day 3 you go back into Petra on your own to see what you missed, then a driver takes you back to Amman in the early evening. Day 4 is breakfast and your airport transfer.
This trip suits independent travelers who like a guide for the first look and then freedom to wander, photographers who want different light on different days, and anyone who wants to reach the Monastery or the high viewpoints without watching the clock. A Petra tour from Amman over four days also leaves room to recover from your flight, since every transfer is handled for you.
Pickup is at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, and you return there on day 4. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, priced per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or as a single room if you travel solo. Children are welcome, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and travelers. Because the hotel nights are pre-paid, this Petra tour from Amman is non-refundable. Visiting Israel too? Look at the Petra day tour from Tel Aviv, the Petra 2 day tour from Tel Aviv, or browse all Jordan package tours. The tour departs daily, subject to availability, so choose your date and book today.
