Highlights
  • Wadi Rum Village - You will stop by Wadi Rum village there will be 4x4 Jeep waiting for you, the tour will be for 2 hours with local Bedouin guide provided in English, then you will be driven to your next attraction
  • Petra - Wadi Musa - you will arrive at one of the local restaurants for lunch, then you will head to Petra visitor center where you will meet your tour guide to begin your 2.5 hours tour with him after that you will have free time to discover the city by yourselves and then will be the driver waiting for you to drive you to your drop off
  • Siq - The 1.2km Siq, or canyon, with its narrow, vertical walls, is undeniably one of the highlights of Petra. The walk through this magical corridor, as it snakes its way towards the hidden city, is one full of anticipation for the wonders ahead
  • Al-Khazneh - Known locally as Al Khazneh, this tomb is where most visitors fall in love with Petra. The Hellenistic facade is an astonishing piece of craftsmanship. Although carved out of iron-laden sandstone to serve as a tomb for the Nabataean King Aretas III (c 100 BCE–CE 200), the Treasury derives its name from the story that an Egyptian pharaoh hid his treasure here (in the facade urn) while pursuing the Israelites.
  • Aqaba - Aqaba carries the relaxed small-town atmosphere of a popular local getaway. The town offers a sociable stopover en route to the diving and snorkelling clubs to the south and the big destinations of Wadi Rum and Petra. It’s also an obvious place to break a journey to or from Israel and the Palestinian Territories or Egypt

Additional Information

Unlike similar initiatives, this exclusive tour allows you to experience Mars on Earth (the Wadi Rum Desert) and the mysterious city of Petra all in a single day. From your designated pick-up location, a private driver will transport you to Wadi Musa city, where you’ll greet your tour guide who has access to your entrance tickets. The journey kicks off with the enigmatic seven wonders of the city of Petra. Your guide will introduce you to the city’s stunning highlights before leaving you to explore on your own for a while. When you’ve finished adventuring, your driver will be on standby to take you to savour Wadi Musa’s traditional cuisine. Post meal, your journey will continue through Petra’s picturesque mountains to the Mars on Earth (Wadi Rum Desert). There, a skilled off-road driver will take you on a tour around the stunning desert landscapes. And to wrap up the tour, you’ll witness a singular sunset, where the sun descends behind the mountains of the Mars-like red desert.

A trip to remember - I highly recommend the Jordainian mappers tour. Our guide Hisham was very professional and knowledgeable about the area and being a local he took on on beautiful scenic routes. Our tour guide in Petra Sami, share his expertise historian knowledge which was priceless. We were two women traveling on this tour and we felt so comfortable and safe even tracking off into the desert on our ride in wadi rum. It was such a fun filled day filled with history, culture and lifetime experience. The Jordanian mappers can give you 1 day, 2 days or more of wonder memories and life experiences.

These guys nailed it. Absolutely worth the money. - We had such a great time with Jordanian Mappers. Our driver, Mohammad, was super fun. He kept us on track and got us safely everywhere we needed to be. I was super impressed that he was able to get us to Petra AND Wadi Rum for a jeep tour, tea, and sunset, even after our cruise ship came in late. We got back to Aqaba and even had some time to spare, so he picked up coffees for us and we cruised around town while he showed us some neat things in the city. We had so much fun. Our guide at Petra, Sami, was awesome too. He knew we were on a tight schedule and he did an awesome tour for us, helping us see in an hour and a half just about everything he shows in two and a half hours. We were all panting and sweating when we were done!! Definitely not for the faint at heart, though cramming everything was completely our choice. The buffet lunch was so good too. A great, wide taste of Jordanian food. I’d 100% recommend this company. Especially if you don’t want to do a tour bus excursion from the cruise ship. These guys make a personalized tour awesome. No waiting around for the lingerers in your tour bus group!

Excellent - Hisham is an excellent tour guide who created a tailor made experience for us. He arranged our transfers from Jerusalem to the Jordanian border, which were seamless and he also organsied our visas. We loved our time in Jordan and really appreciated his knowledge of the country. He organised our hotel in Petra and Wadi Rum which met excellent standards. Hisham picked us up from our hotels everyday on time and responded to all of ours calls and needs immediately. He also showed excellent hospitality by offering us tea, coffee and refreshments. We were very happy with our experience in Jordan and would highly recommend him as a tour guide as he knows all the hidden gems the country has to offer.

Everything was fantastic! - Thank you very much! Everything was fantastic. Drivers were polite and cooperative, they didn't mind stopping us for pictures and taking them, the experiences you booked us were more than worth it! We loved the camel riding with the sunset in Wadi Rum it was a view I never have seen before. Thanks for the recommendations, the hotel in the Dead Sea was amazing; I would recommend it to other travelers too!

Perfectly organized tour!! - Our cruise ship has a stop in aqaba shore for one day so we this tour since we didn't want to go with 45 other travelers who we don't know. My partner red some bad reviews at other similar tour so it became a bet for us. Thankfully the operators that we had the tour booked by were professionals, They briefly described the itinerary by an email couple of days before the tour date- we didn't have any confusion. We requested a port pickup, that costed extra 20$ but was still worth it, they picked us at 7:00 and drove us 2Hrs till we reached Petra visitor center were the driver met us with our guide the guide had our tickets so there was no waisted time.. therefore our tour guide was a geologist and he had a published book about the science behind Petra!! He explained to us that he only guides VIP guests, scientists and diplomatic people! I guess we were so lucky that day and our bets were winners!! After our visit to Petra the driver was waiting for us at the gate to drive us to our restaurant which they had already booked us a table there. After lunch they drove us to Wadi Rum protected area as we felt like we are reaching Mars it was more exciting to take a 4x4 Jeep tour which Also was pre-booked for us 🐪. After our tour ended in we wanted to spend more time, but it was time to catch our ship 😄 After all. We really recommend the Jordanian Mappers as they didn't disappoint us and they truly gave us what we paid for. Special thanks to Mamoon, Yousef and Hisham for operating this tour!
