- Petra - Wadi Musa - You will reach a local restaurant for lunch, followed by a visit to the Petra visitor center. Here, you will meet your tour guide for a 2.5-hour guided tour. After the tour, you will have free time to explore the city independently before your driver takes you to your drop-off point.
- Siq - The Siq, a 1.2km canyon with narrow, towering walls, is a highlight of Petra. Walking through this enchanting passageway, which winds towards the hidden city, is filled with anticipation for the marvels ahead. The Nabataeans transformed this path into a sacred route, marked by spiritually significant sites.
- Al-Khazneh - Locally known as Al Khazneh, this tomb captivates most visitors to Petra. The Hellenistic facade is a remarkable work of art. Although it was carved from iron-rich sandstone as a tomb for Nabataean King Aretas III (circa 100 BCE–CE 200), the Treasury’s name comes from a legend that an Egyptian pharaoh hid his treasure here (in the facade urn) while chasing the Israelites.
- Aqaba - Aqaba exudes the laid-back charm of a favored local retreat. The town is a friendly stopover on the way to the diving and snorkeling clubs to the south, as well as the major attractions of Wadi Rum and Petra. It is also a convenient place to pause a journey to or from Israel, the Palestinian Territories, or Egypt.

The perfect day tour - This was an amazing tour! We were picked up at our hotel at the time specified and our driver Ahmed was absolutely wonderful. He was very nice and patient throughout the entire drive. When we got to Petra we were given a guided tour by Sami who is the best! He is so knowledgeable and funny, we learned so much while having a great time! We took longer than we were supposed to while completing the steps to the Monestary, and Ahmed was kind enough to get us boxed lunches to make sure we don’t miss our next leg of the tour. We then went to Wadi Rum, where we were driven in the sand by Yusuf who was a great driver. We felt safe, while still having an adventurous time in the desert. Make sure to watch the sunset here! Overall this was the perfect day tour and it ended up lasting 18 hours from pick up to drop off, jam packed with everything we wanted to do in both of these sites!

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.
