petra private day tour from Aqaba
Overview
Visit the world wonder - the red-rose city of Petra, curved out of the red-rose sand stones by Arab Nabataeans 2000 years ago. Those brilliant traders controlled the most important trade routes in their time, which made them wealthy and open to the most known civilizations, all reflected in their architecture, their temples and funeral tombs curved by their own hands as a harmonic mixture of these great civilizations.

Muhammad is an excellent guide, he took care of everything we needed. The trip was wonderful. In addition he took us for another walk in Wadi Ram and a walk around Aqaba and the markets.

Excellent day tour to Petra from Aqaba. Easy and efficient booking process, comfortable mini van for our group of 4 to complete the 3 hour journey each way. We got to Petra before the big crowds and our guide was waiting for us. Amazing place and worth paying for a private guide to get a much more personalised experience.

Our driver met us at the cruise ship port and took us to Petra. He turned us over to the local guide who showed us everything in Petra. He had detailed in depth knowledge of the site and shared it all with us. He took many photos of us during or tour. We walked about 9 miles by the time we walked back up to the top. What fantastic memories. Beware of the horse carriages and the horse back rides are not FREE.A very good service. Drivers arrived on time, polite with clean cars. Everything was prepared and planed according to our demands (Petra and Wadi Rum). The guiding tours were fantastic. The agency was available at all times with a very good connection using WhatsApp

Jordan Echo Tours is a great travel company to choose to plan your trip to Jordan. I was recommended by a family friend who had used them previously and I arranged a Petra Day Tour with them. They respond quickly, are very helpful at answering any questions and treat you like family. I couldn't get a flight into Aqaba and they arranged for one of their drivers Mustafa to pick us up in Amman and drive us down - he was awesome. They also made sure to follow up with us throughout our trip to make sure everything was going well and that we were enjoying. I can't say enough good things about them and their staff.
