Petra Tours for Solo Travelers
In Jordan, get ready for landscapes that shift quickly from low valleys to open desert. The Dead Sea is known for its heavy, salty water. In Petra, the Treasury and Royal Tombs are carved straight into the rock walls. Farther south, Wadi Rum spreads out in wide, sandy plains, and the Burdah Rock Bridge sits high above the ground.

What people love about touring Petra solo
We are a family of 5 (kids 14, 13 and 7) and did a Petra/Wadi Rum tour from Aqaba, crossing from the Eilat border. Jordan Horizons Tours was incredible to deal with. Ethical, transparent and fair from the start. Their fees and costs were well set out, they were cost effective (excellent value) and all the commitments were absolutely met. Water was freely available, everything ran to time and staff were professional. Amjad was amazing to deal with, Yousef a terrific driver with a high quality car (with wifi in it!) and their border service was efficient. All the guides, meals and accom were of a high standard. Jordan Horizons Tours also kept communcating via whatsapp and were available and honest throughout. A pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

- Red Sea Diving 8 days from Amman
Just had a fantastic 8-day tour of Jordan. It was a blast. My driver Mr. Murad was knowledgeable, courteous and above all a fantastic company throughout the desert trip. He knew all the right spots for - selfies, pit stops and shopping. Accommodation at Petra was good and very convenient - just a few minutes walk from the entrance. Wadi Rum and the Bedouin camp beat my expectations - Needless to say our hosts at the camp kept us entertained well into the night and the dinner was a blast. If I could, I would have stayed a couple of days more at Wadi Rum. I was delighted to have Wi-Fi in the car and at Wadi Rum. Thanks - Murad for a wonderful trip

We enjoyed our time in Jordan and had a very memorable experience. Unfortunately, I can't give the tour a higher rating as there were many mix-ups on our tour and we were disappointed to miss out on many things. We didn't realize that Booking Tours actually contracts this tour out to another company in Jordan (Travco). The lack of communication between the two companies was very frustrating for us and we lost experiences and spent a lot of time on the phone during our tour trying to sort things out. Travco worked very hard to make it up to us, which we appreciated, but it was too late to make up what we had missed. Our driver, Ash, was phenomenal. I highly recommend him. Some of the accommodations were absolutely lovely, but then some were quite dingy. The meals included were good.
