How to visit Petra from Amman
Petra is about 235 km south of Amman, roughly a three-hour drive along the Desert Highway or the scenic King's Highway, which passes Madaba, Mount Nebo and Kerak Castle on the way. A day trip is possible, but most travellers prefer to stay at least one night near Petra so they can enter early in the morning, walk through the Siq to the Treasury and climb to the Monastery without rushing.
Many of our guests combine Petra with Wadi Rum, only about 1.5 hours further south, for a jeep tour among the red dunes and a night in a Bedouin camp, and finish their trip floating in the Dead Sea.

- How far is Petra from Amman?
Petra is about 235 km from Amman, roughly three hours by car via the Desert Highway, or a little longer via the King's Highway with stops at Madaba, Mount Nebo and Kerak.
- Can I visit Petra in one day from Amman?
Yes, a day trip is possible, but it is a long day of about six hours of driving. We recommend at least one night near Petra so you can explore the site calmly.
- How many days do I need in Petra?
One full day covers the Siq, the Treasury, the Royal Tombs and the Monastery. Two days let you add longer hikes such as the High Place of Sacrifice and Little Petra.
- Are Petra entrance tickets included?
Yes. Entrance fees to Petra and to all sites in the itinerary are included in our multi-day packages.
- What is the best time to visit Petra?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal. In summer, start early in the morning to avoid the midday heat.

Yes. You travel only with your own group, with a private vehicle and driver. A licensed guide can be added on request and is included for groups of 7 or more.
