Continue to Wadi Rum for a Bedouin camp and jeep ride, then float in the Dead Sea before returning to Amman. Choose classic, deluxe, private, or transport-only options.
“Couldn’t recommend this tour enough, from the start of the booking the communication was effective, and we had a great time from the minute Yousef picked us up. Quite quickly into the tour Yousef became one of the group, he had great historical knowledge of Jordan, whilst also being a great laugh and enjoying the fun of our trip through him. Yousef also went above and beyond for our group when he didn’t need to which we were really grateful for. We had ample amounts of time at each location that meant we could thoroughly enjoy and take in the sights. Again would definitely recommend this tour, and you’ve hit…”

Travel from Amman to Petra and Wadi Rum in a private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking driver such as Ramzi, Saadeh, or Hassan. Allow 12 to 14 hours, bring money for entry tickets and a local Petra guide, and confirm that your booking includes both stops.

“Jordan is a beautiful country. The people are friendly. And the food is amazing. At the same time, everyone is trying to sell you something, including your tour driver (or he’ll take you to his cousin’s). And if they’re not trying to sell you something, they expect a tip for the slightesRead more”
Travel from Israel into Jordan for a Wadi Rum jeep safari, Bedouin camp dinner, and two days at Petra. An English-speaking Jordanian guide leads the main sightseeing, with overnight stays in a desert camp and 3-star Petra hotel. Extra border and possible visa fees apply.
“Excellent- the tour was well organised and executed. The tourguide 'Nizhar' truly made the extra mile for his group. He was available at any time. The only small setback was the night in the Bedouin tent - since it wasn't a tent, but a steady room covered like a tent- we truly expected a night on basic level - in a real tent. However, since we did not want to climb up to the monastery (it has no 'value' for us) he re-organised the last day as a private tour to see other places like little petra etc.. The Jordanian Dinar is strong and that makes the stay a bit…”
Travel south from Amman with an English-speaking driver, explore Petra, sleep at a Bedouin-style Wadi Rum camp, ride by jeep through the desert, and float at the Dead Sea. Firas is one named driver associated with the tour, while upgraded camps and a hot-air balloon ride cost extra.

Travel privately from Amman to Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea in two packed days. Your English-speaking driver handles the long drives and local logistics, while optional extras can add a 4x4 desert safari, deluxe tent, meals, entry fees, and resort time.
“Overall amazing, Fox is a legend. Cannot recommend this tour enough. The attention to detail and flexibility was insane. We ended up seeing everything we wanted to over 2 days without being rushed. It’s. A large country and most group tours remove your choice to really engage with the site, culture, people and country but Fox ensured this wasn’t the case, keeping us tight to a schedule (that WE designed) so nothing would be missed, but allowing ample time for us to enjoy every sight. Wadi rum was a life changing experience and the camp booked was phenomenal (they had a cute cat too). Fox also kindly offered to drive…”

“Petra Nights organized a perfect trip with this itinerary! Four days was the right length of time to see everything and not feel rushed. Tayseer was our driver and he explained everything to us for the different sites to help us know exactly where Read more”
Travel from Tel Aviv into Jordan for Petra, Wadi Rum, Madaba, and Mount Nebo. You’ll cross the Allenby Bridge, ride a 4x4 through red desert, sleep in a Bedouin camp, and explore Petra with an English-speaking guide such as Mahdi or Abdul.
“I'll start by assessing the guide: Abdul is fantastic and very professional. His knowledge of the area is extensive and he explained everything brilliantly. Apart from that, everything went according to plan, sometimes with a slight delay or rush, but overall great. The food was delicious, and the transportation was safe, though the return trip was adventurous due to transfers to different cars. The accommodations were comfortable and safe. Despite the small group, there was an additional fee for single-occupancy accommodation in a tent, and although it was nominal, the driver and guide had separate tents, and my friend and I had to pay for separate tents, which was unnecessary…”
Travel from Jerusalem to Jordan for three packed days of Petra, Wadi Rum, Madaba, and Mount Nebo. You get guided sightseeing, 4x4 desert driving, meals, border transport, and two nights in a Bedouin camp. English-speaking guides, including Mahtin on some departures, bring Petra to life.
“We wanted to take the 3-day tour of Petra and Wadi Rum, but there weren't enough people signed up, so we settled for the 2-day trip to Petra. It was amazing! The drive was beautiful, and our bus driver had skills! Our guide was fantastic and so informative. His passion for Petra was very clear and he was so friendly and kind. We enjoyed his company, and Petra was beautiful; even the walk to see the tombs was stunning. The camp was nice, and the food was good. I definitely recommend this trip!”
