Discover tours visiting Petra, Jordan
Step into Petra’s carved stone city, then pair it with Jordan’s desert and salt sea.
Petra tours in Jordan deliver an immediate sense of scale and atmosphere, from the cool hush of the Siq to the sudden, unforgettable first view of the Treasury. Many guided tours also allow time to explore beyond the main façade and connect Petra with other signature landscapes, including desert horizons, Roman-era ruins, and the calm, mineral-rich Dead Sea. You can choose anything from short breaks to longer trips, with group tours and private tours available depending on how independent you want the journey to feel. Some itineraries extend across borders to Egypt, Israel, or Saudi Arabia, yet Petra remains a clear highlight, with color, history, and carved stone surrounding you at every turn.

Also the tipping kitty was quite high for Egypt . Jordan was no problem with the kitty and it worked well.

Signature Journeys8My mum and I absolutely loved the tour! We were so lucky to have Ghadhan or 'G' as we called him. He took great care to ensure we were safe and happy. He went above and beyond to try to accommodate the needs of everyone. He had such amazing knowledge. We were really sad to say goodbye. The hotel in Amman, while it had a nice rooftop restaurant and lovely helpful reception staff, we found the beds very uncomfortable. We also found the breakfast buffet lacking in service and options. All other accommodation was exceptional and we really enjoyed.

Signature Journeys6Hameed was a delight. As well as organising us well, his knowledge of Petra was incredible and made this a highlight of the trip. Wadi Rum was also amazing. Other than the shopping stop to buy jackets (very helpful), there were too many shopping stops. We spent more time shopping than in the churches.

Popular tours visiting Petra
Why visit Petra
A Jordan highlight with deep history, big walks, and desert days close by.
Petra is a stand-out stop on Jordan tours because it works equally well for quick, jaw-dropping moments and slower, more reflective walks. Beyond the iconic carved fronts, you’ll find rock-cut tombs, broad processional paths, and viewpoints that reward anyone willing to go further than the main trail, so it rarely feels like a brief photo stop. Petra also fits naturally into classic Jordan itineraries that balance history with wide-open scenery. It is often paired with Wadi Rum for a 4x4 desert experience and, in some cases, a camel ride, then rounded off with time at the Dead Sea for a slower pace and a different kind of landscape. On guided tours, local guides bring the site’s story to life with clear context, while part guided or self guided trips keep the essentials organized so you can explore at your own speed.
Frequently asked questions
Are Petra tours in Jordan guided?
Guiding style varies by trip, with fully guided, part guided, and self guided formats available. Some tours include a tour leader throughout, while others rely on local guides for key visits and build in more independent time for exploring.
Do Petra tours include Wadi Rum?
Many Jordan tours link Petra with Wadi Rum, often including a 4x4 jeep safari and, on some itineraries, a camel ride as well. This pairing is popular because it adds wide desert scenery and a change of pace after Petra’s carved stone landscapes.
Is there time to explore Petra on foot?
Yes—Petra is explored on foot, and many tours allow enough time to go beyond the main route rather than just visiting the central monuments. Walks often include the Siq and the area around the Treasury, with longer options to sites such as the Monastery for those who want to cover more ground.
Do tours visiting Petra include the Dead Sea?
Many Jordan itineraries pair Petra with the Dead Sea and set aside time to float and relax. It’s a popular contrast to busier sightseeing days, and it can work well either near the start of the trip or as a wind-down at the end.
Are private Petra tours available in Jordan?
Yes, there are both group tours and private tours. Private tours run for your own party, while group tours are shared with other travelers and can feel more social and structured.
What is the group size on group tours to Petra?
Group size depends on the specific trip. Some itineraries cap numbers at around 24 people, while others may be larger, so it’s worth checking the individual trip notes if group size is a deciding factor.
What accommodation is used on Petra tours?
Accommodation varies by itinerary and may include hotels, plus a desert camp in Wadi Rum or camping on selected tours. If a named property is unavailable, an alternative accommodation of a similar standard may be used.
Are Petra tours suitable for travelers who want an easier pace?
Many tours suit travelers looking for an easier fitness level, typically with a medium pace that balances guided visits with breaks and free time. Petra does involve walking, and some routes include uphill sections, so it helps to be comfortable with steady walks over uneven ground.
Do Petra tours include meals?
Meal inclusions vary between itineraries. Some tours include daily breakfast and selected dinners, while others include fewer meals overall, so check what each tour covers before reservation.
Do any Petra tours visit more than one country?
Yes, some multi-country itineraries combine Jordan with destinations such as Egypt, Israel, or Saudi Arabia. Even on broader regional trips, Petra and Jordan’s major sights typically remain central to the experience.
