The itinerary covers Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum over three days. It begins with key sights in Amman and moves south to Petra for a full day of walking through its main features. The final day reaches Wadi Rum for its canyons, springs and a sunset in the desert.
Three days works if you limit time in Amman and move on the same day. Book a driver for the Amman to Petra leg in advance to keep the schedule tight.
Tickets are sold at the visitor centre. One-day entry is 50 dinars if you stay at least one night in Jordan. The Jordan Pass covers Petra entry and the visa fee and often saves money.
Hire a private driver or take the JETT bus from Amman to Petra, a three-hour trip. Reserve transport the day before departure.
A licensed guide or jeep tour is required to enter the Wadi Rum protected area. Book the tour in advance through an official operator.
