3.Private Tour: Petra and Little Petra Day Trip from Aqaba

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 25 reviews · from $186

Travel from Aqaba to Petra in a private air-conditioned vehicle, then walk the Siq with a local guide to the Treasury, Theater, Royal Tombs, and Byzantine Church. You also visit Little Petra, receive a horse ride before the Siq, and have free time to explore. Drivers such as Osama and Saleh are praised for being punctual and helpful.

“An unique experience to visit Petra. A very old and very well preserved historical place. Petra was a very important city of the famous Silk Road. One may have a precise idea how the people leave and how the habitants manage the caravanas on the way to China. It is important to bring water and to be prepared to walk 2.5 miles - both ways. It is worthwhile.”
