Private Petra Tour from Amman: A More Personal Way to Visit Petra
Petra is one of Jordan’s most important historical sites, famous for its rose-colored sandstone architecture, the narrow Siq and the magnificent Treasury. Visiting from Amman is possible as a day trip, but the journey requires thoughtful planning to make the most of your time.
With WePetra, your private Petra tour from Amman begins with an arrangement tailored to your needs. Rather than joining a fixed group, you travel with your own private transportation and can discuss the pace, guiding arrangements and priorities for your visit in advance.
We are a Jordan-based travel company with local knowledge of Petra and the surrounding region. Our aim is to make the practical side of your journey straightforward, so you can concentrate on experiencing Petra.
What to Expect on Your Petra Day Trip
Private transportation from Amman to Petra
Begin your journey with pickup at your agreed location in Amman. Your private driver takes you south toward Petra, allowing you to travel independently of a shared tour group’s schedule.
Your pickup point, vehicle arrangement and return destination are confirmed when your quotation is prepared.
Explore the ancient city of Petra
After arriving at Petra, walk through the Siq, the dramatic sandstone passage that leads to the Treasury. Depending on your interests, available time and walking preferences, your visit may also include the Street of Facades, Royal Tombs, Colonnaded Street and other archaeological highlights.
The Monastery is another major attraction, but reaching it involves a longer walk and a substantial climb. Discuss your priorities beforehand so the day can be planned realistically.
Add a private licensed guide
If you want to understand more than the monuments themselves, ask WePetra to arrange a licensed local guide for your Petra visit. A guide can explain the Nabataean civilization, architecture, history and daily life behind the archaeological remains.
Guiding is an arrangement to confirm in your quotation rather than an automatic inclusion in every transportation booking.
Return to Amman
After exploring Petra, meet your driver at the agreed location for the return journey to Amman. Your departure time and expected return should be planned around the route, time spent at the site and your onward commitments.
What Is Included in Your Private Petra Tour?
Your final inclusions depend on the arrangement you select. WePetra will confirm the following in your personalized quotation:
- Private transportation between the agreed pickup and drop-off locations.
- Driver service for the agreed itinerary.
- Vehicle type appropriate to your group and luggage requirements.
- Private licensed Petra guide, if selected and confirmed.
- Petra entrance tickets, if included in the quoted package.
- Any additional services or experiences specifically agreed in advance.
Please check the written quotation for the exact inclusions. Private transportation, entrance tickets and licensed guiding are separate elements and should not be assumed to be bundled together.
What Is Not Included?
There is no universal exclusion list for every possible arrangement. Your quotation will identify any services that are not included in the selected package.
Before confirming, check whether Petra entrance tickets, guide services, meals, personal expenses and any requested additional stops are included or charged separately.
Why Choose WePetra for Your Private Petra Tour from Amman?
Local knowledge
WePetra is based in Jordan, with local knowledge of Petra and the practical details involved in arranging travel around the country.
Private travel rather than a shared group schedule
Your transportation is arranged for your party rather than shared with unrelated travelers. This provides a more personal journey and makes it easier to discuss your preferences before departure.
Clear arrangements
We confirm the agreed pickup and drop-off points, transportation, guiding arrangements, itinerary and price before your booking is finalized.
A tour shaped around your priorities
Some visitors want to focus on the Treasury and Petra’s principal monuments. Others want more time for the Royal Tombs, the Monastery or historical interpretation with a guide. Tell us what matters most, and we will help you determine what is practical for your day.
Support beyond a single destination
If Petra is part of a longer Jordan holiday, WePetra can also discuss related private transportation and tailor-made journeys involving Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and other destinations.

Tell us your preferred date, number of travelers, pickup location in Amman and whether you want a driver-only arrangement or a private licensed guide in Petra.
2. Receive your personalized quotation
WePetra will prepare an arrangement based on your requirements. The quotation will clarify the agreed services, price and any additional costs.
3. Confirm the booking
Review the itinerary and inclusions before confirming. Any applicable deposit and payment conditions will be communicated with your booking details.
4. Enjoy your journey to Petra
Meet your driver at the agreed pickup point and travel to Petra according to your confirmed arrangements.
Can Your Petra Tour Be Customized?
Yes, the proposed arrangement can be discussed around your travel requirements. Depending on availability and the services selected, you can ask about:
- Pickup from your Amman hotel or another agreed location.
- Drop-off back in Amman or at another agreed destination.
- Private licensed guiding inside Petra.
- Vehicle options based on the size of your party.
- Additional sightseeing or a different route as part of a wider itinerary.
- Combining Petra with other Jordan destinations over multiple days.
Any additional destination, extended itinerary or special service should be agreed and priced before booking.
Who Is This Tour Suitable For?
A private Petra tour from Amman can suit couples, families, solo travelers and small private groups who prefer their own transportation and want to organize the visit around their interests.
It can also work well for first-time visitors who would like a guide to explain Petra’s history, or travelers with limited time in Jordan who want to consider a day trip without arranging every element independently.
Because the journey involves travel between Amman and Petra as well as walking at the archaeological site, we recommend discussing your available time and walking preferences before finalizing the itinerary.
Suggested Itinerary: Amman to Petra and Back
Morning: Depart Amman
Meet your private driver at the agreed pickup location and travel south toward Petra. Your departure time should allow enough time for the journey and your planned visit.
Arrival: Enter Petra through the Siq
Begin exploring Petra and walk through the Siq toward the Treasury. If you have arranged a licensed guide, your guide can introduce the site and its Nabataean history.
Main visit: Discover Petra
Continue through the archaeological site according to your interests, available time and walking preferences. The Royal Tombs, Street of Facades and Colonnaded Street are possible highlights. Visiting the Monastery requires additional time and walking.
Afternoon: Return to Amman
Meet your driver at the agreed point and travel back to Amman, or continue to another destination if this has been arranged in advance.
This is a suggested itinerary framework, not a fixed schedule. The actual duration and attractions visited depend on your departure time, pace, guiding arrangement and onward plans.
Practical Information Before You Book
Is a day trip from Amman to Petra realistic?
Yes, it can be arranged, but it makes for a substantial travel day. Allow time for both road journeys and the walk through Petra. If you want to explore extensively, consider staying overnight near Petra rather than trying to fit everything into one day.
Do I need a licensed guide?
You can discuss a driver-only arrangement or a visit with a licensed local guide. Drivers and licensed tour guides have different professional roles; a driver should not be assumed to provide licensed guiding inside Petra.
What should I tell WePetra before booking?
Share your date, group size, pickup and drop-off locations, preferred vehicle requirements, guiding preference and the monuments you most want to visit. Also mention any mobility or walking concerns that could affect the itinerary.
Are entrance tickets included?
Only if the selected quotation explicitly includes them. Confirm ticket arrangements before travel, especially if you already hold a Jordan Pass or another eligible ticket arrangement.
