Private 4-Day Jordan Tour in a 4-Star Hotel from Amman

This was my first time to the Middle East and Petra night tours took fantastic care of me and my wife. We were greeted at the airport by our wonderful driver Oqba. He made sure our luggage was secured and took us to our first of many sites on the trip. Day 1 we went to the citadel and the local markets in Amman. Oqba made sure all our guides were great and very knowledgeable. Once in the market, he took us around and samples the delicious local produce. Day 2 we went to Aqaba. Oqba set up a great snorkeling experience and took many wonderful pictures of me and my wife. Day 3 was Wadi Rum. We were taken to the visitor center and met our local guide for the day. We ended the tour with a stay at luxury camp where we could see the stars perfectly. Day 4 we met up with Oqba and he took us to the Lawerence of Arabia train car and on to Petra. While in Petra, we were greeted by a terrific tour guide and who explained all the sites. Once we left the Petra site, Oqba told us some great food recommendations. Day 5 we went to the Dead Sea. Oqba made all the arrangements and we were floating in the water in no time. More great pictures were taken by Oqba he explained to us about the mud you put on your body. This whole trip was amazing but we couldn’t have done it with out Oqba. Not only was he our driver and guide the 5 days he became and friend and part of the family.

My mom and I found Petra Night Tours through Bookmundi and booked a 4/5 day private tour of Jordan and a 1/2 day private tour of Israel. Petra Night Tours handled all of the booking for us and were very responsive and flexible in switching out hotels, activities and timing per our request. They handled everything for us, and all we had to do was show up at the Queen Alia airport! We felt very safe throughout the whole trip - everyone was welcoming, especially in Jordan as the country’s primary economic revenue is through tourism. Our Jordan driver, Tayseer, was phenomenal and had amazing English. He even taught us some Arabic! He had wifi in the car, cold water and A/C waiting for us whenever we’d come back, and provided us with a local cell phone so we could contact him when needed. He coordinated with all of our local hotels and guides to make sure we were all set and that they’d take good care of us. We are vegetarian, and he’d call ahead to make sure the local restaurants or hotels could accommodate our diet. Tayseer also helped us out in a sticky situation where we lost a phone and he coordinated with local security and guides to help us find the phone and drove extra to get our phone back. If you’re booking a tour in Jordan, I’d highly recommend requesting to have Tayseer be your driver! He really made our journey fantastic. We stayed at the Holiday Inn at the Dead Sea and had a very relaxing time there! Their spa is small but good, so if you’re interested in a treatment, I’d recommend either calling ahead or asking Petra Night Tours to help book an appointment. We did the Petra by Night experience (definitely worth it if you can arrange your itinerary) and Petra the next daytime. Basel was our guide in Petra and he taught us a lot about the Nabateans and also took great pictures of us. I’d recommend bringing about ~25 JD per person in cash if you think you might use the golf cart or horses / mules as it can get very hot in the summer post-10am. We then did a Jeep excursion in Wadi Rum with Yahya. Yahya’s English was really good, and he showed us the main highlights of the dessert. There was a natural bridge he showed us and he took me on a little impromptu scaling / climbing adventure to get to the top! Super cool experience. You could also tell he genuinely cared for the people of the desert and animals around him - when he was showing us the way the Nabateans collected water, he noticed someone had left a mule tied to a shrub in the heat and brought water from his Jeep for the animal. Truly, he had a pure heart. Please request him if you’re booking a Jeep tour in Wadi Rum (his instagram page is @wadi.rum). We then continued to Jericho, Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv/Jaffa from the land crossing. We had a great time seeing all of the holy sites - definitely worth the trip. Make sure you negotiate well if you shop from the markets - even for food! There was a juice place that first quoted us 25 Shekels and then eventually said 15. But anyways, had a great time! Thank you so much Petra Night Tours.

My husband, two teen boys and I finished an amazing trip to Jordan. We had a wonderful travel guide and driver, Mohamed Masoud. We visited Amman, Petra and the Wadi Rum Dessert over 5 days. Mohamed was with us the entire time and was excellent for our trip from the King Hussein Allenby Border to the Queen Alia International Airport. Mohamed Masoud doesn’t need a map or GPS- he knows every turn and knows exactly where to go by memory - this is a true gift! He also knows everyone in the restaurants and hotels, and all of the locals at every stop we made. Everyone likes and respects Mohamed which made us feel safe. He communicates extremely well in English. We communicated through WhatsApp and he always quickly responded. Mohamed is punctual and flexible when we needed him to be. He coordinated with our local guide at the historic sites including the Citadel, Petra and our Bedouin Guide for our 4x4 jeep ride in desert - we had the best local guides because of him. In addition, he has a clean white van in excellent condition with strong air condition. He is friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. We highly recommend Mohamed and you will be very happy to have him with you during your Jordan trip!
