2-Day Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea from Amman

If you are short with time then this is the best thing to book. In two days you'll visit Jordans most famous destinations.

Qutaibah Akaylah was the best driver/guide. He explained to us about every site we visited and was accommodating to our requests. Our group had the best time!

This tour is ridiculously expensive. You’re basically paying for transportation and a one night stay at a camp. Besides the tour being expensive, I felt pressured by my driver to hurry up at each location we visited. Specially in Dead Sea when I stayed till 4:30 at the resort and I was called and messaged multiple times to hurry up by the driver. My driver got upset with me and started treating me in a rude manner when I stayed longer at the resort in Dead seat. Overall, I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Please save your money.

This was a wonderful 2-day tour packed with lots of experiences, and our guide (Qutaibeh) was great and hospitable. My partner and I chose the group tour option and we were a small group of 7 in total. It was small enough that we felt looked after, but also lovely to meet some other travellers too. The whole tour was organised smoothly and we felt we spent an adequate amount of time at each attraction. Qutaibeh gave us time to take photos at each viewpoint, brief history of the local area, as well as tips on what tourist scams to avoid, which we really appreciated. We loved the camp - we went with the deluxe option and the room was huge and the bathroom bigger (and nicer!) than anything we’ve had in our 6 years in London lol. Hot water, AC and wifi all inclusive. Last but not least the food was absolutely delicious, be prepared to feast as every single meal is a buffet.

This was a perfect trip for those looking to do see a lot in 2 days. Our guide Nidal was knowledgeable and kind. I’d definitely recommend it this tour group?

We had a two day private trip from Amman to Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea (20-23th May, 2022). Qutaibeh was a amazing guide. Very knowledgeable on history and I see his passion. He was so easy to talk to and get to know. Thanks to Qutaibeh the whole tour was really wonderfull! P.S. He is also very good driver and it means a lot, because the trip is very intensive and you will spend many hours in the car.

A very well organised tour with excellent guide who always kept an eye on peoples needs and safety. I would highly recommend this tour so you can enjoy the beauty of this country in a hassle-free way.

Due to schedule conflict, I can only do a maximum ot 3-night stay in Jordan. So I decided to book the 2-day tour from Jordan Private Tours and Travel. Qutaibah (a.k.a Mr. Q) was our driver and guide, and he was patient enough to answer all the random questions that I asked. Our small group tour consisted of 6 persons from 4 different nationalities and we had a blast. Mr. Q arranged a tour guide for us inside Petra (Mr. Sufian) for an extra 10 JD per person. Given the size of this UNESCO World Heritage site, having a guide made us appreciate Petra better (and also helped us cover most of the important areas during our limited time). For our overnight stay in Wadi Rum desert, I opted for the Classic Tent with shared bathroom. So I was expecting to sleep in a tent (similar to what I am used to when camping outdoors). But it was actually more of a cozy room with comfy beds and pillows. Two guests from our group chose the deluxe room, which consisted of an airconditioned room with private bathroom (talk about glamping). Btw, you can charge your phone and other electronics in the facility, so major plus points for people like me who take lots of random photos and videos with their camera phones. We even got to party a little (some dancing) after dinner. I was also planning to have a shisha session with other members of my tour group, but never got around to doing it because we got distracted by stargazing. One member of our group even got a great photo of the Milky Way! :). At some point, Mr. Q also brought out a telescope so we can see the moon better. The next day, we had a 2h Jeep tour of the Wadi Rum desert - the filming location of movies like Lawrence of Arabia and The Martian (plus one Transformers and one Star Wars?). Had we have some extra time, I would have loved to do some sandboarding (but I think you have to tell you guide in advance for this). After our desert adventure, we drove to the Dead Sea (Jordan side). Had another buffet lunch at Crowne Plaza (4th buffet of the tour!) before floating on the 34+% salinity water. I was back to my hotel in Amman by 7pm of June 7th (pick up was 7am June 6th). Overall, it was a jampacked 2-day tour which covered the major tourist attractions of Jordan. I would recommend others to stay longer. But if you only have a limited time in the country, this tour is the way to go. Highly recommended. Thanks, Mr. Q! :)

We’ve had an exceptional and wonderful experience on this tour, our guide was absolutely fantastic and we’ve enjoyed so many highlights of jordan. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Great experience! Through all the landmark monuments with extra explanations and amazing entertainment.
