Mahmuod awad was our... - Mahmuod awad was our driver to Petra. We paid for car service only. He arrived earlier than 6am which we were already ready. Nice clean car for the 3 hour drive to and back. He stopped mid way for bathroom break. We had about 4 hours to explore Petra which we found was ample amount of time 9-1pm. We would book this again.

Overall excellent... - Overall excellent experience. Our driver was Adnan. He was fluent in English, and communication was very clear. My husband speaks zero arabic and understood him completely. He reached out a day prior to our trip to provide contact information and confirm pick up location. He arrived early. The car was clean, air conditioned, and he provided us with water. On the ride to Petra, half way through the, we stopped at a rest stop (restrooms, tea, coffee, food, souvenirs). He provided us with a map and tips and tricks to navigate Petra which were helpful. He also gave us a modem so we can have wifi during our hike through Petra. We spent about 3 hours in Petra, and met him at the pick up point when we were done. On the ride home, we similarly stopped about half way through at a rest stop (restrooms, tea, coffee, food, souvenirs). Overall the ride was a little over 3 hours each way from our location in Amman. I felt safe with him as a driver. He provided some history and context one the drive, but also was quiet when he saw we were tired and needed to rest. Superb experience!

Petra Exceeds Expectations! - We had a great experience from start to finish! Our tour to Petra was absolutely incredible. Muhammad, our driver, was punctual, sent pictures of his car/plates beforehand, and was happy to share information about the country and culture along the way - he even treated us to some local refreshments on the way and something to cool us off on the way back. The car was clean and we felt looked after the entire time. We opted for the full experience with the tour guide and it was well worth it - the Bedouin tour guides are super knowledgeable and it's a great way to help support the local community. Petra is absolutely stunning, and we'd highly suggest Muhammad as your driver if given the opportunity!

Excellent experience @ Petra - Great experience from beginnging to the end. Our driver, Mohammad Bardaghawi, was super profressional from the beginning (contacted us via WhatsApp the day before, arrived early w/ pictures of his car/plates), and treated us to some local refreshments on the way to Petra as well as something to cool us down on the way back. The drive was easy (it's a bit long but so worth it) and there were good vibes all around. Petra speaks for itself, and I'd highly recommend choosing to hire one of the local Bedouin tour guides as they are extremely knowledgable and passionate about the area. Super cool experience and I'd recommend this tour to anyone that wants to experience the magic of Petra and it's place in history - if Mohammad is your driver, you know you'll be in good hands.

Nice Trip to Petra - I had a wonderful day. The driver, Muhammad Ali, was on time and friendly. He helped me a lot in planning my time at Petra, and I could see all what I wanted to see in a limited time I had there.

Petra day tour with Adnan - Adnan The best trip! Adnan was the best driver. He was so kind and very knowledgeable. We stopped for breakfast at this awesome shop and he helped us with the buffet and scarfs for our time in Petra. Adnan answered all of our questions and gave us great advice on things to do and things to avoid while inside Petra. I would recommend this tour with Adnan to anyone that is thinking about it!
