Questions about this trip

Is 3 days enough for Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum?

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.

Do I need to book Petra tickets ahead?

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.

How do I get from Amman to Petra?

Hire a private driver or take the JETT bus from Amman to Petra, a three-hour trip. Reserve transport the day before departure.

Do I need a guide for Wadi Rum?

A licensed guide or jeep tour is required to enter the Wadi Rum protected area. Book the tour in advance through an official operator.
