Discover this one day tour

Full-day private tour from the Aqaba Port to Petra. Sit back and relax: your private air-conditioned vehicle with English-speaking licensed driver is ready when you are. Ideal for couples, families and small groups who want a private, relaxed experience. Cruise-port pick-up right at the gangway.

Starting from the Aqaba Port and returning the same evening, the day is built around Petra. Pick-up is at the cruise terminal, right at the gangway. Jordan waives the 40 JOD visa fee when you buy the Jordan Pass and stay three nights or more — we hand you the paperwork at the port and the pass itself also covers Petra, Jerash and Wadi Rum. Your private driver is with you for the whole day, so there is no group and no fixed schedule: the pace is entirely yours. Pick-up and drop-off at the Aqaba cruise terminal (right at the gangway) are included.

About the visa. We do not sell visas — no tour operator legally can. What this departure adds is the paperwork and the timing: we meet you at the cruise terminal, cross at the Wadi Arabah / Aqaba border with you, and make sure the Jordan Pass is in place before you arrive. The pass waives the 40 JOD single-entry visa fee outright when you buy it online in advance and stay at least three nights (two consecutive nights in the country), and it includes entry to Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum and more than 40 sites — so on this route it usually pays for itself in one day. Entry rules are set by the Jordanian authorities and can change: always confirm your own nationality’s requirements before you travel.
