How To Get The Best Value For Your Money in Petra

The site of Petra is so large, if you want to visit it properly you should spend there at least two days. Then the 2-Days Pass will cost you only 22.50 JD per day.

Take your time: book a room in one of the hotels in Wadi Musa, visit Petra by Night, learn to cook traditional Jordanian dishes at Petra Kitchen or take a Historical Tour to Shobak Castle

You could also visit Little Petra (Al-Beidha), there is no entrance fee here!

AMMAN AIRPORT TRANSFER

Amman Airport Private Arrival/Departure Transfer

Reviewed by Donald G, May 2011:

"Driver and vehicle were very acceptable - and in light of the driving/vehicle conditions in Amman this was most welcome. The service is on the expensive side when compared with the local taxi service but, in my opinion, most worthwhile. The driver was welcoming and very helpful. Luggage handling was completely handled at both ends of the trip in a very professional manner. I would definitely use this service again."
