What people love about Petra Tours
- Best of Jordan
This was a great trip! I loved the group I was with and the places we visited. My only feedback was the lunch options that were buffet style. I am a vegetarian and the places we went to were expensive. I would have like another food option at this times. I do with we had longer Jeep ride at wadi rum and I would have paid more for that. The hotels we stayed at were nice and the bus was really nice. Great trip and awesome memories!
The whole tour went to plan. The tour guide and drivers were always punctual and good natured. The hotels were 3-4 star and adequate. The breakfast at the Sun Rock was not good at all. However the other accommodations were good. Our tour guide Youssof was the best- very knowledgeable and patient. Very friendly and sincere. The lunch restaurants we were taken to were superb. Youssoff made the trip memorable for us. The highlights of the trip were Petra and the early morning camel ride at Wadi Rum. Followed by the Dead Sea swim and Mount Nebo. Great experience all in.

My son, 13, and I did the « Best of Jordan» tour and really had only best days the whole week over. We found out in Jordan that there were only the 2 of us in the group, so we could ask our driver for some tailor-made changes. The hotels, our driver and guides were very good; my son best enjoyed the Wadi Rum and Dead Ses part, where we added a day, as well as some days in Aqaba on the Red Sea. We really appreciated the multi-facetted programme as well as the friendliness of all the people in the programme and on the streets we came in touch with

"I'll start with the good. The tour itself is really good, the things that you see are breathtaking but the poor organisation of the tour mean that sometimes you can't enjoy the experience. Just so that other people are aware Tour Radar don't actually organise the tour they give this responsibility to another company called Bamba experience, but they also are not the ones organising the tour, the tour is actually given by Tourist Israel so probably easier to book directly with them. It took me a few days to just find out where the meeting point was. I emailed Bamba experience and this agent replied that the meeting point was in Tel Aviv. Not sure if they realised that is an entire city and not a place. Eventually I did find out where it was. When i first arrived at the meeting point no one knew who the first two companies were. Tourist israel is only mentioned in one of the many emails that they sent me so it was very difficult to know what i should ask about. I asked the driver if i was in the right place he told me he's not the tour guide, just the driver. I tried calling to ask on their 24h phone line and of course no one answered. I asked people around and some were on a 2 day tour some on a 4 day tour. Since mine was 3 i thought it might be a different one. Then i spoke to someone who was on the 3 day tour. On a whim i got on the bus. We drove all the way to the border without anyone checking tickets or anything like that. The border crossing takes about 3h - not the tour's fault but just a heads up. We get on the Jordanian side and there was no one from tourist israel, just this guy saying 'fun time, fun time'. Someone tells him that we're not with fun time but if he knows where the guide from tourist israel is and he's like oh yeah they are the same thing. This is something we were meant to somehow know. We go with him and my name wasn't on the list. I start calling them abd sending emails and they just told me they were gonna look into it. Eventually the border allows me to go and we continue the journey. Few hours later i ask the guide if he has heard anything else from the agency and he's like yes, did i not tell you? When we got to Petra, on our lunch break there was thus guy asking people for payment. I told them that i have already paid but they guy said that he doesn't care that he hasn't received the money and if i want to get back on the tour bus then i had to pay again. Given that my options were wuite limited i paid again as I didn't want to be left in Petra. Then I got back in touch with the agency and they ensured me that they will sort it out in a few days. It took over a month and constant emails for me to get my money back and every day they would tell me i would have my money in 2-3 days. We also didn't get to sleep in the Bedouin camp as promised in the offer, hotels were 2 stars max and the food was pretty bad. Again, the sights are amazing and well worth seeing but the organisation of the tour is deplorable. My advice is to book directly with tourist israel as they seem to be the only ones in the area actually organising tours, but ask first.

Demographics
Our solo travel routes to Petra keep things simple and social. The most-booked option runs 4 days from Amman, with airport pickups included and hotels placed right in the center - perfect for exploring on your own in the evenings. There's also a great route starting from Jerusalem that gives you both guided experiences and personal space. Our solo travelers often mention loving the social vibe during Wadi Rum jeep rides and Petra tours, while still having enough free time to do their own thing. The tours handle all the complicated bits but stay flexible - you can join group dinners or head out solo, tackle the Monastery climb with others or take it easy on your own.
Couples tend to love our private 3-4 day tours combining Petra with Wadi Rum and also the Dead Sea. These hit a sweet spot - expert guides when you need them, quiet time when you don't. Many tell us they really value being able to spend extra time at the Treasury during sunrise or sunset. Another popular choice includes dinner with local families in As-Salt and evenings at Bedouin camps in Wadi Rum. The magic comes from mixing active moments - like morning walks on Petra's less-traveled paths - with relaxing ones floating in the Dead Sea or stargazing in the desert.
Young adults typically go for our more challenging routes that blend serious hiking with cultural experiences. The Dana to Petra trek is a favorite, with proper adventure: think 17km daily hikes through remote mountain trails and wilderness camping. Another top pick starts in Jerusalem, includes market exploring in Aqaba and heads into Wadi Rum for desert safaris. These work because they combine physical challenges with cultural diving-in, plus leave room for unexpected discoveries. Our younger travelers particularly like having expert guidance at main sites but freedom to discover Petra's hidden spots or relax at Bedouin camps.
Our senior travelers often choose "Culture & Nature In Depth" tours that take things at a thoughtful pace. Starting in Amman, these tours use comfortable hotels and smart scheduling to avoid peak heat hours. The Petra visits spread across multiple days, giving time to really understand details like ancient water systems and building methods. Our older customers particularly appreciate guides who know their history and can adjust the walking pace when needed. These tours include regular comfort stops and mix active exploring with gentler experiences like Dead Sea floating.
The Dana to Petra Trek really clicks with active families, especially those with older kids. You'll hike 5-7 hours daily through changing landscapes in the Dana Biosphere Reserve, where children can spot local wildlife and move at their own speed. Our family travelers tell us their kids get particularly excited about camping under desert stars and meeting Bedouin communities. Another solid route takes you from Amman through Jerash first - the kids can explore Roman ruins before heading to Petra, which helps build their historical understanding step by step. What makes these family trips work so well is the mix of active exploration and cultural moments like learning traditional cooking at Bedouin camps.
